Sorry guys, things aren't going exactly as planned ...again...

I managed to do the Login screen for the SubZero scheme though.

Download Logonui.exe (for Windows XP Professional *English* with SP1)

- This one should conveniently work in all resolutions.

- I used the logonui template released in the "Seventy7" port by Y/C (05/25/2002).

Hope you like it! Please post your comments and suggestions.

And thanks for the great comments and for helping out those who are having difficulties with the installation.

Gotta run!

Nice work yet again ChaNinja (Y) This project is shaping up to be really special.

Can I make a request though? I owuld like to have a decent wallpaper, something along the lines of the texture in the logon screen, possibly with the Ninja sword in the centre or something? I found a decent one at ThemeXP.org but the colour scheme is for chaninja blue, so looks a little odd, maybe it could be colourised or one of your own made?

Either way, great stuff so far, cant wait for this all to be finally finished up, and your time/effort is appreciated :)

I'll work on it Belgarath :) but in the meantime you can extract the "100.bmp" resource from the logonui.exe and use it as the textured background (1280x960) for your own shot at a wallpaper. I'm using the plain one atm. I take it you don't like the shuriken wallpaper too much ;)

Thanks Alpine!

Ummm ... Whats the shuriken wallpaper? I only have the files that have been made available in this thread so far. ie The SubZero icons, DLL Animation resources, dll samples, PNG of icons, cha-bot wallpaper (which I like, but the background is too bright, I prefer a dark background ala the link I pasted above), logonui, and RC5 Subzero Swordupdate. As well as the TSCC movie showing how to insert/replace the avi's in the DLLs.

Anyhoo, I will have a have a go at extracting the 100.bmp and use that :)

*edit*

Exctracted the bitmap, I like it, and I think I have found the wallpaper you mentioned with the shurikens, I found it in ChaNinja Style RC-3 (Upgrade).zip on ThemeXP, is that the one you meant, its called Wallpaper-7? If so it is good, but seems ot be a different colour scheme, sort of grey/purple rather than the blue of SubZero.

Belgarath, take a look here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=82041

You'll find his latest VS RC-5 there and a lot of other things to go with it, such as wallpaper for every color scheme.

This thread has added Icons, DLLs, and an update to the subzero VS with a modified ninja sword on the start menu, which looks great.

BTW, cha, do you plan on updating the swords on the other color schemes, I think it looks a lot better.

sorry for two posts in a row (i didnt see an edit option for my last post . . .)

one more question. i used chaninjas pre-modded dlls and got the animations working well. also, some of the icons changed (i got the new control panel icon, etc.). to apply the rest of the icons (drives, etc.), do i use the same restorator method described by ninja that i used for the animations, or is there another way? i tried changing the a: drive icon with this method and had no luck.

thanks in advance.

and of course, it goes without saying . . .this whole package is absolutely amazing.

Aside from the obvious from the first post,

These are pre-modded "shell32.dll" and "shdocvw.dll" files from an installation of "Windows XP Professional (English) with SP1"

They include all the new animations and icons.

have you rebooted so the changes take effect?

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
