mrastudent Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 yeah I'm working on 4053 but the needed files are entirely different in it, and can't be ported from 4029 since it kills the sidebar But it leaks, so forget it :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fr1sk3y Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 (edited) Can you link to where you got this? Sounds interesting, I hope he releases this. of course, one of the 31 pages: http://www.hardwaresgeeks.com/board/showth...9&page=31&pp=10 Edited March 15, 2004 by fr1sk3y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanorobot Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 This may be miles off, but the call system is different in 4053, also the cool stuff is now in milrender.dll. It also has a different launch system, maybe it's just activated by calling it once. The other thing is no-one has mentioned the WmgExecute function, one of sbctl's exports, it might do somthing with the right arguments?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WmgExecute seems quite interesting, but I guess only Microsoft know the right arguments :crazy: Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr1sk3y Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 what is the difference between the files in 4029 and 4053? if somebody can send me the files [sbctl.exe, milrender.dll, milcore.dll] pm me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fr1sk3y Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 (edited) it seems there are few mistakes - ex. "Creat" - "Create" and other small mistakes, but because of them some of the functions can't start. also many of the functions in milcore.dll are missing [tried by replacing the original mil's with the included in the package]. and when i try to execute the mil.bat file, i only get "Error reporting" window for every runll32 call. so, i think it should work on #4051. if you can activate dce, i'd be glad to show us the results [screenies or something else].

fr1sk3y Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 also, AA hasn't added the arguments for any of the commands.... again. but if you wanna work it around, you can use OllyDebugger: http://home.t-online.de/home/ollydbg/Loaddll.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaAlien Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 @chris: b2 doesn't kill sidebar and everything in milcore was mirrored in milrender before, now they're different, notice how the dce init script for 4051/4029 has the same commands for both milcore and milrender in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentInfiltration Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 AlphaAlien, nice to see you folded to the pressure caused by me leaking Beta1. I was beginning to think you'd never do the right thing and release what you had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakpuppet Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 take a closer look at where the time is :). if you're refering to the vertical "stripe" of lighter color than the rest of the sys tray area then it's probably just buggy taskbar redraw. other than that i cannot really see anything "special" in the picture.

cpu killer Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Well, I refer to the dark area in which the systray is placed, I'm pretty sure I see some transparency allowing to see some of the background, maybe its just me..oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentInfiltration Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Yeah, I can see that as well; like a very, VERY light pattern overlay. Is that with DCE enabled, or not? I didn't really pay much attention to the taskbar when I installed 4053 last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
