I have another question, whish it can be answered. :unsure:

I found that in FlyakiteOSX, several file format have been associated with external icon. For instance, png, jpg, gif and bmp, these icons are in the folder 'windows\flyakiteoOSX\fileicons\'. I just want to know how can it be done? Can i do it manually? :shiftyninja: Coz I want to associate my own icons for the different formats without modify the original exe file.. Thank you... :wacko:

I installed V2 for an hour, the uninstalled it because it was really slow.

What you smoking fella? Flyakite doesn't install any software that runs in the background, or anything else sinister. All it does is to alter the graphics (replaces existing files with files that have had their graphics modified.)

I been running it since v 1.0 and still think it's the best thing since sliced guinness!!

Well I spoke to him recently and he said that he's not too sure. Most of it is complete but he won't release something that has bugs. As soon as I have any idea of when it will be released i'll be sure to post her:D:D

Haha, I'm working on it. Like Kitch said, I am nearly done. The installer sits at a light 28mb, only 2.2mb larger than v2, which is not bad considering how much has been added AND I have integrated the SE (Special Edition) features with the smaller shell32.dll into v3, so there will only be one installer now.

I'm getting there, don't worry everyone. It will be soon.

flyakite nice! i don't know if its my eyes but i think version 2 and 3 is almost the same with a few changes in settings and the theme. It still dont have the "file edit" in the taskbar but i don't use it anyways so its ok. Hope you can post the new boot screen and log in screen, and maybe if it comes with firefox 1.5 theme a new power dvd and windows media player skin. i don't think theres a picasa 2.0 skin out there yet so im assumiing you remove it.

the good thing is if your comp has only 256 mb of mem it will still run as seen on flyakite sceenies hehe. Can't wait for the final version.

My only complaint is the horrible tool bars. They're so 10.1. You should try doing something with those. :D

They're not 10.1. They're Safari, and they are Safari for a reason. The way Mac toolbars work, the previous and next buttons are right next to each other. On XP this is not possible, so I went with the Safari toolbar set that Steve Grenier made up. It is very complete and it works well.

Then you are too concerned with aesthetics. You have to remember, FlyakiteOSX is made to look like OS X. OS X doesn't drastically change looks too often, so you need to look "beyond" visual aspects. LOTS has changed, not only internally but externaly. As for skins, I am NOT a skinner, and have stated this before. If someone wants an updated skin they either need to contact the author or make one themselves, lol. Picasa 2.0 is not skinnable from what I've seen so far. The way the system stores resources is entirely different. They used to be in some folder as raw image files, now they are embedded in a file and I have not figured out how to read or extract them yet.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
