Could someone with the new build also tell me if when you change themes if it still messes up the font highlighting under desktop icons?

Also is the Wallpaper changer fixed in the new build?

Both looks ok to me. Not sure about the problem with the font highlightning, but everything looks fine.

If you could change the theme to the Untied States theme then right click and select rename on a deskto icon. Can you see the font? The highlight color should be dark blue.

Thanks

The transition\fade effect when you change wallpaper is new and pretty cool!

Yea, just noticed myself. Nice addon

Looks to be some issues still. Not on all themes though.

Thanks X-bite

Also if you could check open a window like say IE Maximized then open WMP 12 and from the task bar see if it open on top of the IE window?

There is a bug in build 7000 where WMP 12 seem to almost always open behind other windpws.

It was available in build 7000. Anything new or added to transition effects ?? :)

Only when using the wallpaper shuffler in build 7000 if I remember correctly. Now it does that when you select a wallpapper manually also.

Opens in front now. Tried it several times with different windows maximized.

Can someone check if in build 7022 there is still error with permissions... For example in Beta sometimes i get error when saving files from any program:

"F:\Users\Username\Desktop\Filename.psd

You don't have permission to modify files in this network location

Contact the administrator per permission to make these changes"

After this error file is created but with 0 Bytes.

I have instaled win xp and win 7.

Hehe, sorry was playing around with the new build :)

Seems WMP was updated in this build:

The album art is bigger and the "Library" button moved to the top right of the now playing window. To get "Show List" you have to right click also. The song title/artists info now cycles which is nice but i rather it the way it was before where the name of the song is always avaialable in bigger bold fonts. Not sure if i like those but i guess.

You can remove more Windows Features:

There you can remove Windows Media Center and DVD Maker and even WMP 12!

Looks like the Now Playing fonts aren't incredibly blurry anymore. Larger album art, now that's a plus. (Y)

Someone at the mainpage comments mentioned that there is a new animation when "moving things around explorer"... Can someone look into it?

Yes it's true. If you have like for example: mutiple IE tabs open, the animation looks more smoother. I can't really explain it anymore than that. To add to the WMP, of course the icon & the buttons are different now.

I'm not sure if it's new or not, but if you hover over "All Programs" for about 3 seconds, it will automatically send you there, same thing works when you want to go "Back".

Paint also looks different

Setup was much faster using an ISO mounting program, in this case, i used PowerISO.

Overall performance is better :)

That's all i've noticed so far, i will let you guys know if i find more out!

I don't think that's what he was asking, correct me if I'm wrong backdrifter, but I'm assuming it has something to do with Windows Explorer... not Internet Explorer?

Might just be a result of my JPG compression :) But yeah larger album art, i submit feedback about that already. AMG (All Music Guide) needs to start releasing at least 300 x 300 now instead of the 200 x 200 they currently do/did. That's why that one up there looks kinda fuzzy too.

Oh and Gaius - leave my music alone. LOL I was downloading some old music that i remembered (Dru Hill - Beauty) and found some new ones at the sametime. I was sampling that's why that's a weird playlist. I barely listen to the radio so i don't even know what's hot these days.

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
