Is it possible to know how to install thoseapplications, because i've double click on the internet explorer and explorer icons, but it's always showing me that the program have met a problem and will shut down. I know that I must not replace those link with the ones that are on the windows folder, so what must I do to make them work? There is only three files on the vista explorer folder: iexplore(1.2mo), explorer(645k) and the readme. Help please, I would really like to enjoy your program, trojan!

I dont think the blur effect would work because the blurr effect is made by the layer rendering with the new 3D technology.

Blur effect is quite possible, and actually being used in some applications for XP currently. Me and my partner are working on porting some script into DesktopX. We'll see what we can do!

It's a good concept but i don't think anyone would use this for every-day browsing. But nonetheless, a very good app. You should be proud of yourself!

I know I wouldn't use it, lol. I'm trying to make this as efficient as possible... I hope to cut down some resources... MABYE.

I would rather see a start menu program!!!  but thats just me

Oracle is coming after this, so keep your pants on!

Okay... I don't know what your problem is, brodeur007. What OS are you using? How much RAM? What video card? It sounds like your hardware or Windows don't support this app. All the files are there...

Oracle is going to be a DesktopX desktop. I'm toying with the idea of porting it to a gadget when I'm done, but it would definately eat up some memory. Oracle is just a codename for now; I hope to name it something like... Desktop Vista, or Fluffy Pink Kittens... :p

^Everybody who read my thread should get THAT one... :ninja:

Hehe... it's a DesktopX desktop. Taskbar, Start menu, sidebar?, and windows. Just an idea right now... seeing as how I may just finish Vista Explorer, and that's it.

nice work man.. except i cant use the explorer... because i dont have a C:\ drive, i have an F:\ drive!

the IE looks nice, doesnt maximize tho... (Y)(Y) good job so far

Erm actually an AMD Sempron 3000+ is rated at 2.0 Gigahertz not 1.8 I have the same processor if yours is running at 1.8 then its under clocked ;)

@TROJAN

I like what you have come up with - hope you develop this further - I am happy with what your doing all I want to see is some icons added to add to the functionality a bit however if your going for a 1:1 copy of Vista's explorer then skip the icons and in the top menu bar add links to the control panel and other settings just as the real vista has :) you can add copy to and move to icons into drop down menu just as the real vista has too ?

All I can say for people who think they have a pretty decent video card especially shared graphics at 64MB and expect to run the Real Windows Vista on that kind of set up and have the LDDM enabled drivers for it must be dreaming. I have a Geforce 6600GT 128 MB card and have no speed issues with these widgets. If what Frogboy says is true then its your hardware thats slowing it down not Trojans little programs.

JMO - no flaming or insults intended :)

    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      By Circaflex · Posted

      I noticed this was already happening within my organization; my teams location will change between remote and on-site without me having to do anything. Is it possible this is live already for select customers?

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      While LibreOffice is not pleased to see a new competitor, they are absolutely correct in stating that Euro-Office using a MS file standard as a default is not being truly "European." Using a MS standard just means Euro-Office is just a "bastardized MS Office Suite." (Wasn't a major purpose of Euro-Office was to get away from being captive and enslaved to MS's Office Suite??)

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it. Your choice MS...
