[MajorSham]

come on guys..

Its the build 4071 leaked yet????

If not whats the point of showing PIcts of it?

It was leaked almost immediately. In fact, the WinHEC 2004 build (4071) can have the DCE effects turned on by running the following commands:

Turn on DCE: C:\WINDOWS\I386\sbctl.exe start

Turn off DCE: C:\WINDOWS\I386\sbctl.exe stop

It's that simple. No reboot required, as the effects are enabled immediately. Your screen may go black for anywhere between 1-3 seconds. The effect is only temporary. You have to reenable DCE on the next reboot. Of course, you could have the command always run at startup.

On my Athlon 1100 / 640MB SDR SDRAM / GeForce 3 64MB Classic, window effects were dead slow. However, I read that on some 4071 installations, the 3D hardware accelleration was turned off by default, and that there was a way to turn it back on. I however didn't get that far. I kept trying to get the News Pane's RSS feed to switch to /. or Neowin, to no avail. I then tried to use a pane compiled for a previous version of LH, and in the process of trying to swap the panes out, totally hosed the settings for it and Explorer then would just start, crash, and restart in an infinite loop. :blush: So I formatted the drive and gave up, happy with what I had already seen. :)

Pretty nice but nothing amazing. Pretty cute that you hacked the registry to add in the build number though.

And 4080 is an idx02 build as well before they started on main builds again (4081)

I think you mean 4074 :p lol, Thanks for the encouragemane creamhacked... I think it was encouragement anyways :wacko: lol :)

[tomwarren Veteran]

Yeah it was :)

Just everyone thinks you have 4071 now when you don't ;0

[DigitalFreedom]

lol, I got 5 pms of people asking for it ;) lol still, i hope to release a beta of the theme by the end of the week :)

[slyph]

why would you want a build older than some that are out already? 4071 is pre WinHEC isnt builds with higher numbers the newest stuff? im confused

[MajorSham]

I think you mean 4074 :p lol, Thanks for the encouragemane creamhacked... I think it was encouragement anyways :wacko: lol :)

Oops. . So many build numbers. . so little time. :) I second the notion though. .who would want to use an 4071 anyway? Unless you're a build collector for some reason. . *cough* Neptune *cough*

On a related note, I heard that XP was actually not based on Neptune and Oddessy, but rather that Longhorn is based on Neptune. It was explained that "Activity Centers" were a major component of Neptune, and that most of the Activity Centers in Neptune (such as the Photo, Music, and Communication Centers) were curiously missing from XP, only to reappear in LH. . Can anyone confirm this?

Try looking on OSBA for detailed info on the work being done there. ;)

[Recall1982]

I love this VS.

[XP_01]

I don't get this.... The pics you're showing can't be XP because you can't separate the toolbar icons like that and stuff. So in what way is this for XP?

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

neeto!!!

good work (Y)

[session]

awesomeness :yes:

[Ivand]

Looks cool, to bad we cant have that transparency in XP
