* Per cambiare tema
To change the theme
* non piace il tema
I don't like the theme
I understand what you mean... There are a lot of people who think xpize is just a theme, and there're also a lot of people who think the applied theme can't be changed after installing xpize.

If there has to be an XP-looking Firefox theme, I would personally recommend MozXP. This theme doesnn't look like IE6 but it has XP icons.
But IMHO it shouldn't be included in xpize, personally I wouldn't like to see my Firefox with a theme I didn't choose...

Oh well... I didn't know that. And, to be honest, I was not sure I could finish them.
So the only thing which has to be done is to use a blank background...
You spared me a lot of work XD
Well, I would like to see this in next release, but do as you like.

I'm currently working on it: I made, so far, 27 BMPs.
Now I'm going on holiday for 10 days but when I come back I'll finish the work (hoping that Release 6 won't come out before).

Here's the updated Italian translation.

Sounds pretty cool!

Start XPize setup, choose first option (default?) press next until you see the boxes (maybe don't need to go too far).
Do a search, maybe in documents and settings\user\ local settings\temp or (i guess) were you have relocated the temp dir with nlite.
I think the file is called Anolis and (i did) take the folder inside (of Anolis) to root dir (or any place) and you can rename it as XPize5 or just XPize.
Thanks, that helped.
Would be great if W3bbo can add that visual style in the next release... But if he doesn't, could you share it? I want it for my XP MCE, please...So far, this visual style is unfinished. I don't know if I'll be able to finish it before the next release, I'll see what I can do.

I'm planning to make a clean install of XP SP3 on my VM to test it better (the actual installation is a mess as I tested both the betas and the release).
The only request I have is: what about a "reloader" tool as in xpize 4.7? I didn't find it in Release 4.
As for the resources, there are a couple of things I would like to see:
- A generic style for bitmaps as I proposed in this topic, but I can't find the resources to make them by myself... is it possible to unpack the xpize 5 installer to get the icons I need?
- A new style for the "Abut Windows" logo. Current one looks too "grainy" IMHO (I can try to make these ones too).
PS I'm making a visual style based on Media Center but more modern-looking and with more colours. Take a look if you like.

That's nice.
I'm looking forward to test it on my Vista Business x64 SP2 laptop.

Here's a little idea I recently had.
In the new xpize 5 release 4, I see that there're many "styles" to choose from (and I like the idea). So, I was thinking of a "generic" style which can be suitable for many Visual Styles.
I'm thinking of bitmaps with the same icons, but with a white background. As the default background in wizards is white, i think this can fit well with the overall style of the windows. And it is suitable for third party Visual Styles.
I would like to do the work, but I don't have the original icons for each bitmap.
I did a couple of examples (note that they're not actually patched, they're only edited pictures):
(I used WereWolf's control panel icon on DeviantArt to make this example)
I haven't thought yet about a generic msgina.dll or a generic logonui.exe because I have no idea of how they could be...

Good to know.
I noticed some errors in the Italian language file too.
Will correct them soon

Here's the updated Italian - sorry if I'm late, been busy with an University exam which I have tomorrow.

That's good news.
I have a little idea for wizard bitmap style... Thinking about a "Generic" style suitable with all visual styles. I'll post it soon.

When will we receive the new string table to translate?

See the post above:
I've found the reason why the condition check was failing on some systems: I programmed it to identify numbers using your local computer's number format. So if you're on mainland Europe or Russia then a decimal number looks like '5,1' rather than '5.1' which is why it doesn't recognise your system as being the right version.I'll fix this in the next release.
I found a temporary workaround: I changed the decimal symbol from "," to "." in "International and Language settings".0 -
I'm sorry but unfortunately I don't know who has them... I made mine simply placing the new Vista logo (after resizing it) on the old one (not that much work, i admit it :$).

Hi, I tested XPize 5 Beta 3 and I saw that you included the mods for Energy Blue and Luna Element.
Some time ago, I made some extra resources to make the mod more complete: maybe you'll find them useful.
Resources include:
- "About Windows" banners with Vista flag and row below in Element-style;
- Bitmaps in "Application Bar and Start Menu" settings;
- Logoff/shutdown dialogs.
Here's an old screenshot of mine with XPize 4.6 + Luna Element Mod 1.0b + my modifications:
Here are the resources, classified and packed into a zip file:
Luna-Element-Extra.zip (Skydrive)
Use them as you like

I'll fix this in the next release.
After running the condition test, I can confirm that this is the problem.
Here's the test's result:

Now installed fine.
I found a couple of small issues too:
- Some elements in Internet Explorer 8 aren't patched (I suppose because IE8 isn't supported ATM);
- One really minor issue: after reboot, there was no visual style applied (Classic mode). I applied it manually and it worked (unsigned themes work, too).

Hmm, I'm getting a strange problem.
The installer showed me an error where it says that the package can be installed only on XP x86 SP3... But I AM installing it on an XP SP3 VM!
PS For the translation, there are some parts which actually I remember I translated but I see they're in english... Will look into it.
EDIT: here's a screenshot.

18 MB isn't that much for me... It's far less than my average file size download. So don't worry

Release 7
in XPize

Good to know you're still working on it
My only suggestions are: support for patching Remote Desktop Connection 7.0 and some kind of Reloader. Maybe the "Generic" style I proposed some time ago would be nice too but that's not a priority.
PS Happy holidays
