Vista Explorer

[amlacher]

Hi, can anybody help please?

I just cant get the explorer to work on my Windows. I have a german edition of Windows XP with SP 2.

I have copied the explorer file to the windows directory and to win/system32, but I just don't get it to work.

Best Regards,

Michael

Reinstate your original version of explorer.exe and restart windows. This is NOT an explorer replacement, yet anyway. Now just extract the files from the zip and run vista explorer. Think of it as an alternative file manager, for use when taking a screenshot, or where the tasks that you have to perform are relatively basic.

Good luck

:whistle: Hehe... yeah, DON'T replace system files with this. I made that very clear in the updated README (0.1.42). :yes:

Cursor XP problems noted, but all other features require more code. I HOPE to have all of that by final release... mabye beta 2-3?

So I've decided to try your Vista Explorer. To tell you the truth, its really slow (and it takes up 27 MB of memory, ahhhhh!) and...wow, and invisible part of the window (not the glassy part, 'cause on the screenshot I took, I used alt+print screen and there's some invisible portion of the window). Also, lets say the Vista Explorer window was active, but then I clicked on another window that covers this explorer up. I try to bring vista explorer back, but it wouldn't become active. The only way to get around this is to minimize the window via the taskbar and then "unminimize" it. This is still a great program! Keep up the good work :woot: You just need to allow maximizing windows, add title bar functionality, icons and buttons, and to make Vista Explorer run faster. Cool anyway because it takes saved passwords from Internet Explorer. :p

Once again... I cannot help you with CPU usage, memory, or the speed of this program. It all depends on YOUR hardware. If you have 256+ MB of ram, and a decent video card, this should work fine. But asking me to try and make this run faster on your computer is like asking Microsoft to try and make Vista run on a Commodore 64.

It can't happen.

As to your titlebar problem; I've never heard of that before, but I DO know that it's almost completely tansparent in the middle of the window... try to use the outside corners.

i do want to change main page (for iezplorer www.google.com and for explorer my computer) and resize window size. how can i do that. Please help me.

By the way it is awesome work Trojan. keep goin....

First of all, hats off for thinking about it and getting this done. I know this is WIP and you still have a long way to go.

However, I am sure some constructive criticism is in order. I got a decent pc, p4, ATI 128 card and 2gb of ram, and with this config, I feel the app is a bit unstable/slow when it comes to refreshing content.

I am sure you have lots planed ahead for this app, keep adding more features and make it as light as possible?..gr8 job.

Verry good job :)

Good luck for your WIP, so if you want some help for graphics, contact me (PM) ;)

Good beta...what's needed: Tabbed browsing, aliases, java script/acive x toggle button, various resolutions support to name a few.

AMAZING! Good JOB

[Khuat]

Wonderful job, it tastes like Vista! But I have a little problem, the taskbar doesn't appear in the bottom of the window like the screenshots posted. Could anyone help me?

PD. WONDERFUL!!!

I don't know how possible it is with DesktopX or anything, but the real Vista Explorer also blurs the background.

[Hypermole]

Very Sweet .. Good job :yes:

Is there a way to maximize it yet?

Thanks

Working on it.

I doubt the blurring can be done... I'll see what I can do, however.

[Konefku]

Awesome, hope it supports tabbed browsing :rofl:

[himeee]
