Eh, I'm thinking of it from the point of view of "how secure is the situation you're in right now?" - having a site marked as "trusted" is dangerous from a security standpoint, as it can pretty much do whatever it wants, whereas if it's marked as "restricted," the browser isn't going to just let the site damage the system - it's a more secure state. Otherwise, I need to change the Security Center notification icon telling the user that the firewall is down to a the green security-ok icon, because all remote computers have all been given the green light to connect to any local network service. I know, the way I've got it set doesn't jive with the way MS did it in IE4, but it makes more sense to me, and it's consistent with the way they're doing things now.

Now, onto the pink monitor in the Desktop tab of Display Properties when using Git2:

I finally got around to fixing it. The Magic Pink color just needed to be set to actual Magic Pink.

To apply it, put the attached file in %UserProfile%\Desktop\override\res_tweaked\themeui.dll before running the installer set to Git2.

thanks fix worked great, and a musikcube icon would be great if anyone could do it

I've finally gotten around to doing some work on trying to hack together a proof-of-concept for patching Vista. As far as I can tell, unless I'm Microsoft, it is impossible for me to alter system files on a running system - only TrustedInstaller has permissions to modify most/all system files, and word on the street (well, five minutes of Googling) says that I would need a cryptographic certificate from MS to get in bed with TrustedInstaller. However, the Vista installer CD in recovery mode has a command prompt unfettered enough to do the dirty work.

Obligatory screenshots:

Of course, this still doesn't mean I'm actually going to do it (since RC2 is the newest build I'll ever have legitimate access to), but hey, it's possible.

Any update on the tango cards? I'm so anxious!
I haven't really had/taken any time to work on them, really. I've been busy with work and NFS: Carbon. It was kinda fun for the first few cards, but whenever the creative part of my brain realized that I'd need to do it * 13, I haven't really felt like playing with them.

Heh. I've got the Aces, 1-3s, and 10s done. I had to fiddle with them to align them against the Windows cards... I was going for bigger shapes, but there's only so many pixels you can pack into so much space, and I got it a bit wrong the first time.

Yo, BobP!

Yeah, the magic of badly resized icons. It's my fault and it'll be fixed eventually. I'm still trying to find out how to get the Gmail Extension back in the status bar properly. I might just forget about it heh. Thanks for the heads up! ;)

The openoffice tango patch on devart doesn't seem to work on 2.1.

Does anyone know why?

I overwrote with the images_industrial file, then selected the iconset...

Happened to me too, I had to delete all files in

C:\Documents and Settings\_USER_\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\config\imagecache

And then reapply the theme. It worked :)

Also remember to set your icon size to 'small' if you haven't already done so.

To do that (if you don't already know): Tools --> Options --> View --> Set the option under 'Icon size and style' to small.

Er...if you already did all that then I apologize for wasting your time. I'll go away now. Hee!

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
