First post he said he would produce packs that matched the other RC5 color schemes.

:) Dont people read the entire thread anymore :(

Theres only 11 pages ... Not that many really ...

Anyhoo, going back to your other post on the other page, have you tried manually swapping the shell32.dll and shdocvw.dll ... The way I did it (as mentioned on page 3, did youread the whole thread :p) was to boot to safe mode/dos prompt ... Rename shell32.dll and shdocvw.dll to have a .jfk extension (so I know it was me who renamed it) in the Windows/System32 directory and also in Windows/system32/dllcache once that was done I just replaced the files in windows/system32 with Chaninja's premodded dll's and I was able to reboot and voila I had all the animations etc installed :)

Anyways... my question still stands... I wouldn't have asked more than once, If I didn't find the answer in the thread... heh.

Can I ask, what exactly are you having trouble with?

The method I have described again above, although long-winded will work, just make sure you rename the shell32.dll and shdocvw.dll in both directories before copying Chaninja's pre-modded dll's over to the the system32 directory. As a side note also, make sure you boot into safemode/dos prompt as if you boot into safemode with a gui, the files will be in use and you will not be able to rename/replace them.

Chaninja's method is easier IMO, and I will be using that on his next update (although I did have a problem at first understanding how to replace the avi's etc until I watched his tutorial video). If you look at his tutorial video, it is quite easy to see what to do, and I found that the avi's etc that needed replacing were easy to locate as his pre-modded dll's have a Chaninja style icon to identify them.

Hope that helps, if not, as mentioned post exactly where you are having the difficulties and Im sure one of us here will be able to help out. (Y)

This isn't really a completed visual style, so I would have to agree with Endoscient

maybe it sh©ould be in

Neowin Board > Customizing Windows > Customizing Windows XP > ChaNinja

P.s. I said it before and I'll say it again; I'm loving these icons! >_< great

p.p.s. I need/want more ;)

im pretty sure windows xp isnt the only operating system thats supports 32-bit icons.

Well, it is... ;) There are weird work arounds to make programs use alpha transparency in icons in Win9x, but native 32 bits support in icons is available in Xp only (and, of course, Server 2003 and Longhorn). Mac os X also has a similar icon format (its a different icon format but 32 bits as well), but i guess we are talking about PC.

well you have different settings than me as I only have 15 per page ... if thats the case and you have 40 posts per page, the post will be within the first two pages.

I'm not having a problem with the getting the DLL's to work... I haven't tried them yet. I'm just wondering the easiest possible way to change them... And you say its on Page 3... Where on Page 3... christ... I have 40 posts per page....

just boot into safe mode and copy the new dlls into the system32, system32/dllcache and servicepackfiles/i386 directorys. Then reboot into 'normal' mode and hey presto! it works.

But i couldnt get the file icons to work without loading up the iconpackage file.

Hope this helps!

Hi everyone! I don't have much time so I'm gonna make this quick...

I've done the "LogOff", "TurnOff" and "Please Wait" Screens and the Throbber. I'm attaching the resources to this post. Please lemme know what you think!

Still working on the other icons and Toolbars. I'm going through a major transitional period right now and I'll be M.I.A. for a week or two.

I'll try my best to come back tomorrow and answer the questions that have been posted. Thanks for the feedback everyone! :D

GL_RandomHero, my shell32 replacement method is HERE.

TurnOff_LogOff_PleaseWait_Throbber_Resources.zip

Thanks anyways... I already found it the other day. And got them working fine.

And those Shutdown/log off images are looking good.

Hmm... The shutdown worked... the log off didn't... Maybe I messed something up... Hmm

    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
