Maybe you could solve this "problem" with switches. like that: XPize.exe /S /32 XPize.exe /S /48 XPize.exe /S /64 Yeah, but Im not going to make bigger the installer just because of a mere extra and user preference. That theme was made by me, so you can download it from WinRAR homepage.

What did you do with force reload exactly?

I need the actual files and their default location (system32, program files, etc..) Send them to xperohades (at) gmail.com . But remember, sending them does not mean I will do them.

NO, it is not that. It is that most people that integrate XPize doesnt care about the MCE look, they care about the true spirit of XPize, the updating in the icons, animations and bitmaps.

I've put all info about XPize in this guide. It is up to date, meaning that all said on this guide applies to XPize 4.2 Final. Please, I would like to know your feedback about it (mistakes, ideas, etc...) Thanks Download

because it along with some shell32.dll resources holds the images for the shutdown and logoff bitmaps

It is gone in both patching and normal install. Tested with XP Pro English

Im sorry. That info is no longer valid. The site needs updating but I'm quite busy with exams. My apologies. I will release a complete XPize Guide soon. If you want to integrate XPize, better use nLite or XPize installer iteself, selecting "Make a XPize ISO" .

iCandy? why..this is XPize. Regarding size, I love the 64x64 ones, but if people want I can add the 48x48 instead in next version.

they dont exist for now

Run XPize normally and in components page look at the installations types (full, express, lite)

I did that in 4.1, but then Royale didnt appear in Display Properties

I managed to fix this. Soon in 4.2

Does new Ryan's Pack include Microsoft Management Console 3.0? EDIT: Yes it is included. That new version of mmc.exe is incompatible with XPize, so you can try reinstaling the hotfix. I will try to fix that for 4.2 final

We have a clear winner. Congrats SkillTill! From now on, votes are null. I will keep this topic open for congrats and those type of things

Please, be patient. 4.2 final will be a huge upgrade. I'm adding some cool things on it

I'm only replacing icons, animations and bitmaps. I cant understand why your GUI language changes...

Indeed...Try a registry repairing tool or something. I cant really give an explanation to this

Add XPize as a hotfix using nLite. nLite will do the job for you.

Did you make a system restore point with XPize?

I would recommend you a repair install of XP.

XPize does not check for Tablet PC Edition. Thanks for your tests, they were ok. @Kenny McCormick: Thanks, thats ok.

I think it is your best harunaksoy: Im not going to change the original one. The winner simply will appear in a next XPize release as main icon. All this is just for fun.
