Wonderful! :D I always thought there's something wrong with my tray-icons since I've also had a problem with other icons not showing in true-colour (I use Win 2000 SP4). I had no idea the sys-tray by default shows just 16 (?!?) colours... Why? I mean, all tray-icons seem to be designed in 256 colours (except the system ones, of course) and some don't even have a 16 colour version which forces the 256 colour version to be shown in a really bad way...

Now my sys-tray looks very colourful. :laugh:

Does anybody here know how to integrate it into Win2000 install disc? I try to makecab explorer.exe explorer.ex_, then overwrite it into I386 folder of CD, then try to re-install it with new CD. But during installation, it prompt it's not a valid Win2000 system image. Somebody say that use setcsum utility or modifype to change checksum of PE-header. But still failed. Anybody can help me on it? Thanks! :blink:

You don't need to download something to patch explorer.exe. Only you have to click on the first paragraph the end of the following line:

-NEW- Windows 2000 SP4 : You can now automaticaly patch your Windows of any language. Click Here.

Recommended to do this in the Internet Explorer.

If you get failing you can download this file

http://www.dr-hoiby.com/TrayIconIn256Color/ExplorerPatcher.cab

Extract to somewhere, open the DOS command windows here and type this:

regsvr32.exe ExplorerPatcher.dll

Now restart the comp and ready. :rofl:

    • Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
