MMX Mercury Toolbars

[duntez]

I just thought of another 1. How about a cursor set :knocked:

example: like the one infront of this folder

cursors came with mephistocorugan's mmx mercury theme..

for those havin trouble.

0. edit the damn shell32.dll, basically just 'replace bitmaps' and matchin the numbers :D save as shell32.mmx in system32 folder

1. go to your dllcache(its hidden) and rename your shell32.dll to shell32.bak

2. go back to system32 folder, and you will see shell32.dll and shell32.mmx next to each other. rename shell32.dll to shell32.bak and shell32.mmx to shell32.dll. You will get 2 windows file protection msgs. Screw em hard. In the ass.

3. restart.

This looks so damn nice, I am about to give up using any of my MDI/tabbed browser front-ends for IE. Even though I like them as far as productivity is concerned, IE just looks to good not to use! Thanks!!

I love the way those look!

I have a smallish request, how about a windows throbber that matches the theme a bit better (that waving windows flag just doesn't work very well)

[superbeast]

A throbber would be very nice, maybe the MMX Mercury.ico (the sphere with the "M") or the Internet.ico.

Heck, even the Skull Trash (Full) (3).ico would be cool (the alien skull head)!

[Taxidriver]

Outlook Express icons & bitmaps are very cool, looking forward : )

Great job !

I edited my "throbber" (never knew it was called that...?) simply colorizing it to match MMX. Hellofa lot easier than redoing the whole thing. :)

Below are screenshots. I included two because I have a question: see in the xp-erience.org screenshot, the scroll bar on the left is skinned (using my theme's scrollbar) but in the neowin pic, the scrollbar is flat and ugly? Is that a vBulletin thing? Just curious...

[babis]

as always.. great job

[DisinfectedDuck]

I'm glad you guys like it!

I'm currently working on replacing every icon in shell32.dll (At least every 16 million color one) When i'm done (Couple of days) i'll have screenshots, icons and a list of them all posted.

[Shalayer]

yeah the neowin is flat and ugly cos neowin have set the colours for all of the scrollbars themselves so it uses the old ones and recolours to what they set!! its pretty crap and annoying really

so yeah thats not ur problem, and that throbber looks nice

AL

[jardragon901]

Vbulletin does that itself, its not thier fault :) .

Yeah, it is kind of a strange name for the throbber :s

The scrollbars aren't skinned on some sites if they use css to match it to the colors on their site (which can look great in many cases).

If it really gets to you you may be able to write your own stylesheet to make the scroller always match you theme (I've never tried this, so it may not work).

Go to Tools -> General then down to accessibility -> format documents according to my style sheets.

Thanks!

Sorry dumb question: in shell32.dll it looks like the throbber bmps are 240, 241, 242, 245, 246, 247.

Should I just assign mavis's bmps in order (the numbers aren't the same though)?

Edit: nm.. tried that and it seemed to work.

Did anyone make (or is making) MMX style copy, move and download animations?

[DisinfectedDuck]
