I'll make log off and switch user bitmaps but the only problem is that you'd also have to edit the 'dialog' resource in shell32.dll and that might be considerably more difficult to do for some people than just replacing a system file. I don't want to feel responsible when people nuke their pc's. I've thought about making a patch file that'll do it for you but I don't have the time to look into it right now. For now feel free to use the bitmaps aitf311 posted and I can't stress enough to be careful when replacing or modifying your system files.

Thanks guys, and to reiterate - Red and possibly Black color schemes coming in the next update, along with Ergonomic of course. No idea when it'll be ready so I won't even mention any dates. :p

I just noticed that Bose made a msgina.dll for his VS and he has both log on dialog and the shut down one so are you sure we are going to have to replace files in shell32.dll?

You do, I've edited the shell32.dll, purely by inserting the BMP's from the MSGINA.DLL into it (after modding the button BMP by removing bottom 4 buttons).

Easy to do with Resource Hacker, using Replace resource...

I dont think there were any updates to the file.  Just scroll down and check.

Giga, Im begging you to make the log off dialog in all the colors or atleast the blue and ergo.

Aw, come on. Green is sweet! :D

BTW, giga. How did you take the text off from next to Log Off and Shutdown? I don't like it with text. :p

And that is the updated version on the front page. Ergo isn't out yet and all bugs aren't fixed yet for final release. If it was, I would be notified of it since I am a beta tester (unless giga is being seriously ****-ass lazy :shifty::happy:).

I never said there was an update. :s Fine guys I'll make the log off bitmaps but be warned you must also edit a few of the 'dialog' resources in shell32.dll for it to look right. Sorry but you're on your own this time, look at the 'dialog' resources in my msgina.dll to see what values I changed. I'll post the bitmaps later today.

Ok people here are the logoff bitmaps, read the readme before you ask any questions.

jagedEdge: I just deleted the text from the dialog resource thing (it's basically a little window that shows you where buttons and text will be placed and let's you move, add and delete things).

I'm using BeOS icons, search the boards.

      The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
