And the explorer buttons and desktop icons are from the Win2k toolbar aswell?

erm.. probably i didn't explain well (my english sucks, sorry..). i simply used resource hacker to replace the default xp toolbar with the default win2k toolbar. also used resource hacker to get default icons from win2k explorer.exe and replaced xp icons using iphile.

I do not have permission to release a single thing on my desktop so please dont ask. This stuff took a long time to make.

The only thing that seperates my port I guess is the mega 1337 thin taskbar. Thats about it.

Theme: Makkix by redrope

Icons: Mini's In Black by redrope

Dock: Yellow by redrope and deadzombie

Here is the email I just sent him. I hope that he will let me release a port. I know many people got turned down but hopefully this is convincing enough:

Dear Takashi -

Ok I know that you have to be getting sick of this, but I would like to port your themes Makkix and Maggra-X. I know that you are going to be thinking no right now, but please listen. I am a member at www.neowin.net and there are many great skinners and many talented people there. We have been admiring your theme there for a while and I know that you dont want to let it be released for XP and I can clearly understand that. If I made a theme like that I would restrict it too. I respect that, but you need to look at it another way. There have been about 15 ports by 15 people of your theme that have been made by people at Neowin. I am one of them. I am working on one and it looks great so far, and so has KoL who has been turned down. Most of the ports though, including ours, do not really show your expertise at skinning due to the lack of images and the lack of the quality of images. Think about it this way. There are many images of it that are ported to XP, but may look really bad. Anyone can port and many have posted tutorials and everything. Your theme is the most non-permissioned port I have ever seen, so here is what I propose. Let me and KoL do a port of your theme. You can look at our progress and tell us what to change. You could give us the original bitmaps to ensure the best quality possible and your theme would have maintained quality and you would expand your audience and you would have a huge fanbase. The people at Neowin released a port of a theme called Milk that you may have heard of. They didnt have permission. About an hour later, the theme was taken down and the creator was mad. I totally understood that, but then he was given a similiar proposal and he accepted and gave the original bitmaps and it became a huge theme and everyone was happy. This could be the same here. I urge you to agree to this. You would be doing us a favor, but also yourself because your theme would be official and not degraded in quality. Thank you for reading.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I must admit, this is probably the only game at the moment where I can see that $80 price point being ok. The issue will be when other developers think they can get away with it with half of the work.
    • Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers by Fiza Ali Google has announced that Google Wallet is becoming the first digital wallet to integrate with TSA PreCheck Touchless ID. It is a programme that lets eligible travellers move through participating airport security checkpoints using facial recognition instead of showing a physical ID or boarding pass. While the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID programme has been available for some time, using it hasn't always been straightforward. The programme currently operates at 65 airports across the US, but participation has largely depended on flying with a limited number of airlines. Travellers also had to upload passport information separately through participating carriers. Now, the tech giant's new integration is designed to remove some of those extra steps. With the update rolling out in the coming weeks, travellers with TSA PreCheck membership will be able to enrol in Touchless ID through Google Wallet and use the service with any of the 100 airlines participating in the programme. Rather than repeatedly submitting identification details, users can store a digital ID in Google Wallet and use it to streamline future trips. Setting up the feature is relatively straightforward as well. The process starts with users creating a digital ID in Google Wallet using their passport information. After checking in for a flight and saving a boarding pass to the app, eligible travellers will see a "Get started" option that directs them to the TSA enrolment process. Once users choose to share their ID pass and boarding pass information with the TSA for a specific trip, the agency will verify the enrolment. If approved, a TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator will appear on the boarding pass stored in Google Wallet, signalling that the traveller can use designated express Touchless ID lanes at participating airports. As privacy and security are likely to be key considerations for many travellers, Google says users must explicitly opt in before any information is shared with the TSA, and authentication is required through a device PIN, pattern, or biometric verification. The company also notes that digital IDs stored in Google Wallet remain encrypted and are kept on the user's device. For frequent flyers who already use TSA PreCheck, the new integration could remove a few more steps from the airport security process, making travel slightly faster and a little less cumbersome.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      Even though MS had to sunset the Windows Subsystem for Android, you can apparently use BlueStacks to run Android in Windows now. I haven't tested this yet, so if anyone has any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
