I'm using a modded gfxOasis VS for my XP SP2 now, and wasn't too happy with that default Windows XP shut down and logoff dialog.

So ... there really was only one possible answer: modding those dialogs to something that was more compatible with gfxOasis ...

So, here they are:

XPlogoff_gfxoasis_v1.jpgXPshutdown_gfxoasis_03.jpg

Notes

* This modification consists of a modded msgina.dll (shut down dialog) and a modded shell32.dll (logoff dialog).

* 100% visual compatible with gfxOasis.

* Thanks 1000x to Kol and KaosAD from gfx0asis for giving me permission to release this...

* If you choose to download this file, you are in no way authorised to extract the gfxOasis logo to modify and/or use it publically... Please respect this.

* Only tested on a Windows XP SP2 English. If you want, I can make a version for a SP1 or another language too... (PM me)

* Only compatible with a 'clean' XP SP2, If you have installed a GUI changer, those changes will become undone, since shell32.dll is cganged again... Contact me for a work around ...

* This 'modification' is provided 'as is', I (or gfxoasis team) is in no way responsable for anything that goes wrong with your installation...

Download

* msgina.dll

* shell32.dll

* replacer

Installation

I'm sure anyone understand what I'm talking about doesn't need an explanation on how to install this mod, but anyway:

* download my modded msgina.dll and shell32.dll.

* download replacer.

* Fire up replacer (a command prompt window will open)

* Go to *systemroot%\system32. (most likely c:\windows\)

* Drag and drop the msgina.dll found in that folder in the replacer window.

* Press enter in the replacer window.

* Now drag and drop my modded msgina.dll (which you just downloaded) in the replacer window, and press enter.

* Do the same for the shell32.dll file

* reboot

and done :)

Hope you gfxoasis VS users like this mod!

No need to be rude. I was merely pointing out that I would be concerned that if I install it, it would be blurry as well.

[EDIT]

It seems like you can not say anything in this forum without being attacked. I used to enjoy being a part of this community.

Yes, the screenshots are blurry, but not only the dialog, the wallpaper behind as well, that is, the whole picture isn't in perfect quality. Hmmm . . . maybe, just possibly, Shaidar compressed his screenshots, which is good practice for posting on the web.

Now, Shaidar, could you release only the modified resources that are im thoso DLLs, I'm not using gfxOasis, but I still think that those look cool. I want to add them in to mine manually, in case, mine and your original files weren't the same. Please?

Mmm .. is this what you asked?
