[azz0r_wugg]

Eugh its the IE7 tab loading circle.

Its too big.

[Tech_Dude_5000]

seems like this bulid must be prety good. havent heard or seen any Negtive responses. The more good news, the more closer we are to the final :D

[Evolution]

Have they updated a few of the legacy dialogs, windows, etc.?

i.e. Are the following start menu pics still there?

Oh, and yes, flip 3d finally is antialiased :D

And about time too! It's looking much better, though it would be nice to have an option to increase the anti-aliasing level as it still doesn't look perfect.

Damn. I've already gone over my cable's download limit this month. (Had to download Beta 2 TWICE, due to a CRC error or something.)

Nope. Not yet.

the white pointers look a bit like the Mac ones that were posted on neowin. but i dont know if they were the REAL Mac cursors.

[Oblivion]

it looks ok, not the best of efforts put in

i don't see how they can be related to the mac cursors. For one mac's are black arrows, and the tail is longer. If anything, they look similar to the ones found in Gnome.

I really want those cursors for xp. They're pruddy

Can someone with this latest build tell me what the services tab is all about? http://www.pro-networks.org/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=1025

separates system services (run from the registry, etc) from currently running processes.

[ThePitt]

thats interesting (the services tab)

My thoughts on this build -

1. Installs a lot quicker - 20 mins compared to 35 mins of beta2

2. None of the vizualizations work in wmp11 - but do when listening to streaming media

3. Runs a hell of a lot quicker - considering using this instead of xp at the moment

4. UAC is better but slightly buggy as sometimes is automatically minimized to taskbar instead of being on screen

5. Network Center is layed out better and its easier to do more admin tasks

6. Still a lot of legacy icons and XP screens

7. No new basic theme yet

8. Anti-Aliasing on Flip3D

Any screenshot of those cursors?

[Pharos]

Too bad I'm not a technical beta tester for Vista, I want to try this build :cry:

[Kraftman]

Any screenshot of those cursors?

Does anyone know if this build resolves the problem with no picture being sent to plasma by DVI-HDMI on nVidia cards?

That is a NVIDIA driver issue.

[ObiWanToby]

seanrkelly, I think that was nvidia's problem. Not sure what version these drivers are as they show up as 5456. Hopefully they release a driver to fix that issue!

New pointers folks. I ain't uploading them... someone else who feels like distributing them can ;)

I've been waiting 8 years for this! :D :D

[I8PP]

edit: i retract that statement. while they could have stolen it, that dialog always opens in the same area... coincidence they used the same background? *shrug*

Something new... new/updated animations for copy/attributes/IE download animations

[Xab]

Any idea if the CPP keys will work for this build? Would be nice not to have to crack it.

[P!P]

Here's the new cursors that I installed in XP.
