thanks for the input. it was already noted above that stylexp caused sme y'z dock crashes, but most people here use the uxtheme patch anyway.

i've never heard of candyxp, though. most people use iconphile or iconpackager, or reshack system files.

and welcome to neowin. :)

hi...

FusionGuy - I had the same problem! and when I changed the file itemlist.ini = 1 =>0 and renamed the name of the icon in it - Works perfectly. Bsw. AqaDock rocks too.

Greetz too all. This is probably my first Post here so regards too all my friends from A-S and from my Forum in Poland. PEACE People!

from aqua-soft, eh?

yeah, aqua-dock is a rip. ever wonder why you need "y'z docklet.dll"?

I did a google search and found a utility called CandyXP that allows you to customize your icons. In the changelog it said 'fixed bug that caused yzdock to crash.'

i think you'll find that that was referring to a bug that candyXP once had, not a mirraculous fix for someone elses problem.

also, i have used yzdock for a long time. i've been using it for a couple of years infact and after finding out that it ran as a service (didn't know for ages) and therefor took away a little memory, i decided to get the uxtheme.dll patch. a while after i tried to change some icons and i started to get this exact error. i've just read this thread and this has brought that into my attention so i'm gonna unpatch the uxtheme.dll and reinstall stylesxp and see how it goes... i'll post back soon.

yea thas what i thought, sticky said neowin doesnt support the program at all

Its fine to talk about it, just no download links are allowed.

I have never had any problems with Yz Dock, I am also using SP2 and have my system themed with the Uxtheme hack.

there was some doubt earlier, so just to reiterate: the CandyXP trick works for me too.

I had StyleXP installed then uninstalled and switched to uxtheme. After that, yzdock would always crash when I tried to change the icon under "Property of Dock Item..." Anyway iJeff's CandyXP thing worked for me.

As far as the whole recycle bin thing, isn't it just opening the recycle folder to get a count of the items / total size? Seems to me like that's the whole point of having it.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
