man you keep missing the point of everything i said. its just rediculous to even try to talk in a calm way with some1 like you. if i was a promoter of force registering then i wouldnt put my modules on deviantart. unfortunately i cant put guir on there because its not my program. and i have already told you i ahd not intended for forced registering but you just go aorund calling it bullsh?t etc and saying we are low people for insisting on it. i had already told you the site is far from ready for release and it was not our intention to do that. we are webmasters.. i know incredibly little about webpage making and i couldnt find a way to turn it off. i ahve said this probably 3 times not and you just seem to ignore this bit all together. its that kind of mentality that im sick of. just stood up ey? so you probably see mike moore as your hero then. he stood up against bush with a bunch of half truths and didnt bother to look at the other side of the story. this is EXACTLY what you have done. you didnt even take a second to consider the other side of things and you just flamed the site b4 you knew the facts. keep that mentality up and im sure you'll have plenty of friends..

hi there =) great work

I had some trouble with the module back on windows server 2003 which i eventually could solve with the help @ shacal foruns.

Only the shutdown icon didn't seem to work ok.

Now i'm @ sp2 and did clean install, got guir and put the pack togheter but the shutdown icon doesn't seam to change :(

I even tried to replace it manually with microangelo, editing shell32.dll

It does look stupid all the cool icons and the big flashy shutdown button :(

Any workaround sugestions? HELLLP :p

P.S. Sorry about bad english

It should work on SP2. GUI Replacer should do the work replacing all the icons/bmp/... whatsoever in the dlls. If the entry isn't there it doesn't replace anything. At least this is how I understand it (didn't bother to try GUIR yet though; as i'm happy with yz toolbar and windows default settings)

look i cant promise you it works on SP2.

there have been mixed results however i havent been able to see why it didnt work for some people. but initial tests by some people for me said it was working great. version 2 of guir is in beta testing atm so if this doesnt work now then when version 2 comes out it will and there will be new options with guir 2

cheers

fizical

hmm maybe i havent got that in the script for icons that should be changed. can any1 tell me where that icon comes from exactly? so i can check that i got it right. i havent played around with this for a while in terms of icon locations. also you said you tried changing it in shell32.dll with no luck so that makes me think its somewhere else. i have a feeling this might have been a problem i was having with one file and i had to remove it for some reason.. but i cant be sure on that.

i'm quite new in the subject. I opened shell32.dll in microangelo and tried to set your icon, which is there, with the name of the default shutdown icons which are also there and they are 2. shell32.028 (i think that this one it's the one on the start menu) and shell32.216 which i suppose it's the one which appears at the login screen.

hope u can solve it out cause i absolutely love ur set. btw the same thing happened me @ server 2003, never tried @ sp1

Cheers, WiSh

that icon in not in the list i have in the scripts.. however you are correct that there is the shutdown icon there. im curious as to why i never saw that b4. anyway depending on when version 2 of GUIReplacer is going to be released will depend on if i update this soon or not... because when comes out this will need to have the cripts re-done.

if you read the readme it states that these bitmaps are done by Jeromebzh as he originally did the Gant2Ocean as a shell pack and i got permission and converted to GUIR. with a few changes icon wise that i made all the bitmaps and avis are his doing.

i cant see myself amending this in the future as im getting less and less time to spend on GUIR.

Won't work for me on SP2, I only see the icons and the explorer bar icons being replaced, nothing else... I quickly confirmed that windows had to use the non-official versions before the reboot but when I came back, I had my old VS and all... Here and there there are some adjustments being made but not all.

please note when using this its not meant to look EXACTLY like the screenshot.

GUIR changes icons, bitmaps and avis. it will not change your Visual Style.... YET :) the next version of GUIR will give you the option to install the VS with it :)

@dirtyshady.. that is a windowblinds skin called DogmaX you can find it on this forum in the windows blinds section or at wincustomize.com

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
    • "...will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
    • and somehow windows is the only one with issue every patch tuesday is a mess, android macosx have all that and it never had issues locking people out of their own data.
    • It's the ol': I told my kids I was older than Google and they thought I was joking. For me I was born the same year as the internet
