Wow, 1000+ replies :)

Giga:

I want an Ergo mod, blue start panel, light blue captions.

I also want normal and compact start panel versions.

Oh, and normal / thin taskbar versions, with matching MSGINA and shell32

And....

hehe j/k ;)

Looks like you're being kept busy :) Keep it up man, doing great job with support (Y)

lol yikes, you had me going there for a second. :laugh: Thanks and it looks like you've got your hands full too. :p

Kasper: I'm using Aleni's toolbar bitmaps, modified my shell32.dll with them. Do a search and you'll find them. :)

Bant: hehe, if they only knew. When I need to rant and bitch this is the guy I turn to lol. (Y)

Please guys no more screenshots of your "mods", it really serves no purpose. If you want send them to me and I'll take a look. Thanks.

two quick questions about the samurize and rainlendar themes for this style. I got Judge's desktopweather to work well, except i'm not sure how to make the icons update to reflect the forcast, there don't seem to be any options for this in samurize.

Also, with rainlendar, no config settings will stay applied when i'm using the classix skin, it will just reset to the original config. I'm trying to get it to stay on the desktop, but this is kind of hard when the config just keeps resetting. Anyone know how to fix this?

ok, i figured out the answer to my second question about rainlendar, for some reason the config file for the skin presets everything so that when you change the config options of the main config file in the root directory, these settings don't get applied because the source ini file for the skin has everything preset for some reason. The following will fix this for those who are interested:

remove the following lines:

X=873

Y=581

Movable=1

MouseHide=0

BackgroundMode=0

WindowPos=1

This will allow you to change attributes of the calandar through the menus rather than editing the ini file of the skin.

Very nice giga. I would like Bant's mod in the regular ergo color and also his modded ergo.

...wanty-wanty person...DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! :trout: :devil:

As for my opinion on that. Try and visualize what it would look like. It just wouldn't look like Bant's Mod with the orginal Ergo. Bant's Mod is different, and I like it that way. :happy:

how do i change my icons and buttons to look like the ones in the theme?

i have the icons in *bin and *ico formats... how do i convert all my xp icons to these ones?

thanks in advance

Which screenshot are you referring to? :huh:

Well, anyone of them, the hard but effective (and not as buggy means) is to edit your shell32.dll with Resource Hacker, replacing all the icons with the ones you want to display instead. And if you want the full conversion, you're gonna have to edit the mydocs.dll and explorer.exe files too.

Giga, Im sorry but you have a couple of bugs :no:  in the theme.

They are both in the Ergo and Bant's Ergo mod.  I ran both in 1024x768 if that matters.

Here:

<snip>

Hope you fix it.  :)

It's not a bug in c10k it's a problem with Verdana 7 and seems to happen randomly. I've seen it happen in other themes that use the same font. It's not being changed but you can always change it yourself in Stylebuilder to Tahoma 8 or switch to Tahoma 8 in the Font Size menu.

Will you knuckleheads stop arguing, if anybody's going to die it's because I kill them.

    • hands down the worst version of Windows to date and sadly I think it's only downhill from here
    • I've never known a release to have so much pressure than this one. There is so much riding on the whole games industry because of everything that's changed in the past five years. That if this is a complete flop then I think the whole games industry is done unless something radically changes.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old by Taras Buria Windows 11 is now half a decade old. Five years ago, on June 24, 2021, Microsoft announced its latest operating system, designed to "bring you closer to what you love." Today, Windows 11 celebrates its fifth birthday. The launch of Windows 11 was interesting. Rumors about Microsoft introducing a Windows 10 successor popped up weeks before the public announcement, and a few days later, an entire preview build leaked online, allowing everyone to take a peek at what Microsoft was preparing. A few weeks later, Microsoft confirmed that Windows 11 was a thing and officially unveiled its next-gen operating system. Early versions of Windows 11 promised quite a lot. A redesigned, more modern user interface, a brand new Start menu and taskbar, improvements to virtual desktops and window snapping, Android app support, Teams integrated into the taskbar, Windows Widgets, a new version of the Microsoft Store, improved security, and more. Some of those features were welcomed, while others were received with heavy criticism. Besides missing taskbar and Start menu features, many disliked the steep hardware requirements, which kicked out PCs that were back then still perfectly fine. TPM and Secure Boot became mandatory, causing a spike in sales of dedicated TPM chips for motherboards. Double-layered context menus were disliked as well, and it is something that Microsoft still has to fix. Additionally, with time, some of Windows 11's exclusive features were simply killed. Microsoft removed the Teams integration and discontinued Android app support. During the early days of Windows 11, Microsoft was quite unwilling to address things that users criticized most. After four years on the market, management changes, and heated competition from the Mac camp, Microsoft finally decided to give in and take its operating system back to the drawing board to fix everything users had been complaining about for years. Microsoft is now redesigning the Start menu, adding missing taskbar features, improving Windows Update, fixing Windows 11's context menu, and more. Some believe all that warrants a new Windows 12 release, but for now, it appears that Windows 11 will stick around for a while. With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11!
