I would like to give an advice for the system tray network icon.

I got a DSL Internet, so when it connects, there is a radiowave like sign in the tray, which is gray in color, it's hardly visible on a black color taskbar, & most of us using vista skins are probebaly using dark color taskbar. I found some icons in your Vista Ultimate pack 2.0, these....

can u change the system tray network connection icons to these insted

also, on a dark color taskbar, the connected network blinking icons, those 2 computers are not visible, in default XP they were in blue color, it would be a lot better, if u could change the blinking color of these icons to dark blue, like that in vista my computer icon (the monitor) that would be visible everywhere, or even better sky blue

I also, m in favor of the logo change

As for this XP logo, sorry guys. This my mistake :blush: Will be repaired in next version.

In VIPv2.1 i make monitors blinking (not very bright, but enough to see status).

About Wave-icon: this (gray) icon is right from Vista (as i remember FebCTP) and I think it must be looks great with black bground

ok, the waves should be the way they are, & the monitor, better make it blinking blue, that would be clearly visible

Hye, I have made some file types & folder icons for vista, they are not much like the original, but they match nicely, do u think, they can be bundled as another pack with this pack, if u want, i can post a preview here

the folders are made, depending on the application i normally use, while some are made seperate, i used images taken from your vista icon pack 2.0

I don't like the idea of putting the logo inside the folder doors

about the network icon in the system tray, it's all black in any black color taskbar. Can u plz make it, blink blue like previous windows XP inbuilt it's quite confusing

i rezhacked that and the dll file with the wireless one. Much better now :D

If you know what you're doing, i'd recommend just fixing that yourself.

Ok, you'll need to open Netshell.dll (in windows/system32) in resource hacker and locate icon 216-223 (i think theres on or two in there that you dont need to change) and you replace them by right clicking on the "1033" and choosing replace resource.

When you're all done, save-as to somewhere in your root cdrive or whatever. Boot in safemode and replace the original (after backing itup, if you dont trust yourself)

Repeat the same procedure for xpsp2res.dll for the wireless icons (34-57 i think)

Enjoy, hope it works out for ya....

any ideal on a time frame for the updated system patch since 5365 has been released?

and about the network icon blinking in the taskbar tray it needs to be a color (the one blinking) that will be visible in blue,green,silver ect... because this is a xp system patch and lots of people still use the default msstyles sometimes such a s the royale theme and luna's 3 colors and not always a blackish vista theme i know i do when i'm tired of looking at a theme color plus there are dozens more themes out there that people use with these color types and if there like me they love the new icons but just want them to fit in.

thats just my take on it tho other than that its one of the best system patches i ever used with 0 problems.

Thanx!

I have no Vista 5365, but when I have it, will make update for VIPv2. But I think it will be over 2-3 weeks (I really don't know).

About monitors... will make it like in 5365.

But I use VIPv2 with blinkin monitors with Royale theme and I see everything...

    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
