can someone post likes to the downloads on on page 1 again?

It dosen't exist anymore as far as I can tell.

Dose any body running XP SP2 have an unhacked version of the following files for my uninstall.

C:\Windows\System32

netshell.dll

appwiz.cpl

The Explorer.exe for win2k is currently untested. I would advise you to make a backup of explorer.exe before installation. Are there any MS Office 2000 users wanting this download?, if not then I can scrap the WinXP base version.

Edit_By the way, you get the propper My Computer icon in the pack, The R2D2 is just me messing around, it dosen't come in the replicator as the default icon by you can find it in C:\Windows\System32\filestypes.dll

Whatever, just want to say that your desktop looks awsome and, more importantly...Boulevard of Broken Dreams is one of my all-time favorite songs along with "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi!

I want that Media Player skin. :blush: . Anyone have a link for that directly?

its not a skin, its a stand alone Widget. you can download it with my pack when it comes out or you can download it. I will post a link when I find it.

here is the screenshot it was based upon. As you cab see in the quicklaunch the "shortcut to desktop" icon has not changed at all since Windows XP, wich I think is very boring and it will probably be canged in a later beta version of Vista anyway so in my pack I am usind this icon.

If anyone has any problems with this then you can change it back to the XP icons, use Resource Hacker and open the followind files Shell32.dll and Explorer.exe. Cange the icons back to the origional XP icons and then using replacer. This will not damage the uninstall file or stop it uninstalling properly.

The wiget has been based on this image

O.K. I have a bit of a problem with my pack. In the uninstall. I need away that I can get your orional files into the uninstall. The only time I have seen this done is with bricopacks. Dose anybody know where I can get a Bricopack maker from. i would be very helpful for your assistance. There are some example bricopackes on CrystalXP. Unfortunately the Longhorn one is all backward of Vista and the Vista one is just plain blue. Otherwise I would of just posted a link to one of them.

If anyone has any idea of where to get a Bricopacks maker, I think its called bricomix, then please email me

Does this work as it should? A litle sceptic to apply such packages.

You should be, it will work as well as other bricopacks. I haven't heard of a bricopack causing problems and if it dose, bricopacks make a system restore point when you install them and the uninstall contains your system files, not the authors. this pack only replaces the bitmaps inside the system files, not the system file.

      It's funny that iPhone users think they are getting feature, where in fact they are getting cosmetics that just do iteration circles of "improvement" of the said cosmetics. Apple just doesn't know what to do with this product anymore. There is no innovation on this areas anymore.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
