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.

    • Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is continuing its fast-paced update schedule for Xbox Insiders. Today, the company announced a new slate of features it is rolling out to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, which includes an expansion to the gamertag system, Xbox 360 achievements, and more. The unique Gamertag that Xbox users can choose for their profile is getting more characters. Instead of the 12-character limit, Insiders will now be able to get a Gamertag that's 15 characters long. The 12-character limit will still apply to Gamertags that are not unique or contain any non-Latin characters. Meanwhile, Microsoft is adding Xbox 360 game support to its Game Hubs. Selecting an installed Xbox 360 game on a modern Xbox console will now show achievement progress, captures, and other information. Achievement pop-ups are back for these classics too, which should be good news for achievement hunters. The next change is for Xbox players who can't wait to jump into their games when an update is required. "If a game requires an update and is available to stream through your Game Pass membership, you can start playing immediately with cloud gaming while the update downloads in the background," explains Microsoft. The final change of this Insider update is once again to the game cards. Insiders will find that all games, both released and upcoming, will now have a simple button to add to their profile's wishlist, making the process much easier from a single place. This Xbox update is rolling out today to Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.
