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:

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
    • Turbo Pascal was my first real programming experience more than 30 years ago at university. I mostly taught myself from the included examples and help documentation, because the university only taught the basic syntax and philosophy of Pascal, without going deeply into Turbo Pascal’s advanced features. I still remember when I discovered that I could embed assembly language directly into Pascal code, call BIOS functions, manipulate screen memory, use mouse interrupts, and control peripherals from my programs. That opened huge doors for me. Programming back then felt really fun, direct, and close to the machine. What I loved about Pascal was its readability and the almost instant compile time. Turbo Pascal was an amazing environment, but unfortunately Turbo Pascal for Windows 3 did not feel like it fully carried that legacy forward. Later, Delphi got things back on the right track after the messy transition to TP for Windows. Sadly, Delphi suffered from years of uncertainty as it moved from Borland to CodeGear and then to Embarcadero. That instability made many developers lose confidence in it, even though Delphi itself remained a powerful and productive tool. I still work with Delphi from time to time, but I definitely miss the old days of Turbo Pascal.
    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
