Vista RC1 Build 5505.6

[Aaron P]

No WordPad updates either.

No new wallpapers, user icons or sounds.

[Ryan Hoffman]

5505 is an old build. It is not RC1. In fact, a later build is correctly labeled "Pre-RC1".

Sorry, no source available on any of this, you'll just have to take my word for it.

[Tech_Dude_5000]

-Well the user icons have a brand new look to them, I doubt they would get updated.. < may be a few minor changes, nothing major >

-for walpapers I think more high res. photos would be nice,

-as with the sounds I hope its something fresh and nothing like the "space" start up sound back in 95.

I said space because it reminds me of space....;)

i think its a given that 3.1 and win95 icons will remain in the OS somewhere. Clearly MS has other things on their minds.

shame.

I'm useing beta 2 5384. and just to point out, in the Clasic start menu options we still have 9x and xp era icons:

did this get updated? i know its not that huge of a deal but just wondering...

I'll let you know after a few day with it. Only had it running for 2 hours.

Control Panel:

wow that is confusing, looks even scary at first glance.

I don't get why microsoft has to put that many icons in control pannel. They can group icons together. ( no, i'm not talking about the catagory view )

but it may also be the versons that the screen shot is . such as ultiamte...

[Grope for Luna]

Add Fonts dialog ;)

I reported that to Imageshack as offensive. :rofl:

:laugh: It almost is !

Interesting, perhaps this build was released to TAP testers.

[Tech_Dude_5000]

Heres a question:

If microsoft did updated the add font box, how do you see it looking like?

• keep it the same look, just update the folder icons
  
• scrap the entire dialog box and re do it from scratch
  
• or something else.....
  

what are some of your opinions on this?

[Grope for Luna]

Add fonts dialog needs to be bigger with a preview.

[seblanger]

A preview would make sence. You must to know how the font looks like before you add it ;)

[Tech_Dude_5000]

I agree, and they need to let go of the "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"

that seems a bit pre school....;)

[Prince21]

Yep defo preview for the fonts, aint vista suppose to be a new generation of windows, you peeps are right any signs of win 3.1 and xp just gives me a bad feeling each time, its mixing old with new, not good. Dam we gone oftopic anyway this build looks sweet hopefully we ge RC1 soon to fiddle with..

[ViableLobster83]

I agree, and they need to let go of the "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"

They use that sentence because it contains all 26 letters of the english alphabet. So it makes since for them to keep it so you can see what each letter looks like. :yes:

[seblanger]

I think there are more than this sentence, which contains all letters ^.^

[Grope for Luna]

They could change it to one of:

How razorback-jumping frogs can level six piqued gymnasts! (49 letters) (Used for font samples by the Macintosh, System 7 era)

Crazy Fredericka bought many very exquisite opal jewels. (48 letters)

Sixty zippers were quickly picked from the woven jute bag. (48 letters)

John Prady, give me a black walnut box of quite small size. (47 letters)

[tomwarren Veteran]

I really don't think that the fact it says The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog is exactly a priority....

[Ambroos]

In dutch it says Pa's wijze lynx bezag vroom het fikse aquaduct (Dad's smart lynx looked peacefully at the big aquaduct)

[Tech_Dude_5000]

sorry :blush:

I think it has...not sure though. 5384 is old hat pretty much.

[seblanger]

In many areas we have new icons at this time ;)

[WinFreak]

Hopefully only a few more hours and tech beta will get the build. I'm so excited I think I might vomit a little. :laugh:
