Lol I dont see how people on neowin can tell the difference betwenn your package and mine windows x, i think there should only be one, because bothe of ours are the same..... Just an idea, but maybe we could work on this together? I mean, you create the visual stlye, and i do the system file things, its just that your a great styler, andim great at system files and other things, maybe a joint package? Just asking if you would like to, I understand if you dont wanna, just that the similarities are too much to have two packages...

Alan.

R3zZo, I'll try with My MUI and report the result...Nooooo!!! I don't use to use XP Thai. It makes me sick!

THK WindowsX, if you don't respondme my windows was in Spanglish language :wacko: jajaja. thk.

A question men, how i can use only the visual style from this pack, or is the same of the last edition of your PlexStyleII ?.

i must admit that window x's skin is good.

Im using alan's pack with window x's boot,logon and theme

Windows X's Installer messed everthing up

Here is what my system looks like now, i had to redo it all because Window X's installer messed up all my themes and crap.

post-34-1051674191.jpg

for some reason these won't change....

-Change Logoff Panel to Longhorn button in Classic mode

-Change Logoff screen to Longhorn view

-Change LogonUI to Windows Longhorn LogonUI

-Change Shutdown screen to Longhorn view

-Change Start Panel text image in Classic mode to "Longhorn XP Professional"

-Change ToolBar to Longhorn blue ToolBar

-Change Windows flag to Blue Longhorn flag

-Change Windows flag to Longhorn flag in Start Button

-Change Windows XP's brand in About Windows to Longhorn XP Professional

do i need to do somthing to my original files or tweak something???????? (?_?)//

mine was messed up too, so i used a hybrid of Alan and Window X's packages :p

works quite nice now, fully longhorn themed.

I used the icons etc from Alan and package for explorer and the dlls

Used the logon, bootscreen and theme from Windows X

Works perfect :)

.....well that was disasterous

ui went fine , boot was ok... stufed my fonts, file veiwing settings... didnt install the explorer hacks, didnt change about windows... didnt do much at all

and when i uninstalled it it got rid of my other longhorn ui as well and changed my old plex theme II which i didnt want changed

plus after unistall it still left my fonts modified

Yaa.... Listen,

1. It works only in Windows XP (build 2600) and SP1 (build 1106)

2. You have to eject XP's CD before run it

3. If you install from HD, you have to move XP files or edit registry for other XP's path

4. It works with multi language edition as well but it may mess your text about your language and English

5. You have to follow the instruction strictly! If it ask you to wait, you have to wait! About 30 seconds for sure to cancel Windows File Protection. Some system files won't replace cause you don't wait.

i figured out what the problem was it didnt replace the files with .dll it put

.lhtmp WHAT THE HELL IS .lhtmp

anyway i found a way to fix it.... but ill report back soon with a tutorial on how to fix

Edited by EnIgMa-PenGuIn

well it is stored in a dll

youd probably find its refered to in the string and fileversion sections

best bet ask ppl with longhorn to look for the word "main" in there file versions and strings cos it replaces the xpsp and is less common than the line xp

I found the info in registry and about dll dialog in shell32.dll. When I change registry, it doesn't work. It will restore registry after reboot. And when I edit dialog to ignore check from other parts, it doesn't work too. Even I delete that text but it still same as it is.

i think thats cos it refers to the version info on certain files... or you need to combat that protection

cos its in most of the dlls and explorer...

im working on the problem too... ive seen it done i just dont remember where

14352 dialog

04 string

they refer to %s and %d

but only the build number and service pack numbers are stored in shell 32....

the version number i found that in msgina

but what is %s %d

i found strings like that in ui logons refering to users and program numbers

Edited by EnIgMa-PenGuIn

i got it.... just remove the strings and replace it with your false text

sting 04 in shell32

ill test then tell you

EDIT: woohoo got it

just change the text in string 04 to

Version 6.0 (Build 4015.main.030328-1500)

and if you want change your copywrite

that in the dialog

but to revert you need to put the strings back

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
