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.

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
    • Look who's back!
    • I wonder how driving laws around the world will change. No way to really tell if people are using phone. Same with smart watches i guess even now and those silly built in tablets for controlling the car instead of buttons.
