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:

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.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
