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...

Can you please give a step by step on how to change the bmps?

Giga, can you make the bmps (ergo please) so we can change them ourselves?

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.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
