Revolutions Pack 9.6.0 RC http://tihiy.ahanix.org/RP9.exe This release would be relabeled as RTM as soon as guide/translations come. Fixed: tray icons repaints were broken for 98 shell without skinning. Fixed: align desktop icons setting could break item paste. Fixed: dragged icon label shows garbled with ClearType enabled. Fixed: shell thumbnails show corrupted. Fixed: RPConfig wallpapers list consumed way too much memory. Changed: RPConfig wallpapers list is saved when you close RPConfig window. New: custom colors for desktop text/shadow.

It is simpler than ever. under your [langid] you add English Text=Traduit du texte etc. The complete list is under [1049] which is russian. They're enabled by default.

I'm afraid it won't be solved since WMP9 is not worth my time and bug has workarounds (using another skin, RP theme, or just resizing). If you can find any other broken skinned program then sure it would be critical. That's what i think, but i'm not a designer. If they're ugly, make better ones. Not possible. Sorry; will be fixed. Cyan text with magenta shadow? Fine, there will be registry settings for that. Edit rpconfig[rpsetup].lng files with text editor.And shl8.dll, rp8.dll with resource editor.

IE6 is required for good (for anything other than Core install). Known, low priority. Not following at all or lagging?Not really worth noting.

Revolutions Pack 9.5.6 RC http://tihiy.ahanix.org/RP9.exe Fixed: tray flickers on 98 shell without skinning. Fixed: several shell places weren't getting 32-bit icons. Fixed: Miranda IM icon problems. This is the last RC intended.

Maybe you mean black desktop and "out of resources" warning in the corner?

That's too unspecific - screen blanks... Taskbar disappears? Explorer crashes? Sky falls down?

I know it's a bad excuse, but taskbar skinning was written for Me shell. 98 shell is much harder to control and requires dirty hacks. Nevertheless, it will be improved.

Revolutions Pack 9.5.5 RC http://tihiy.ahanix.org/RP9.exe Fixed: icon font charset wasn't forced to system one. Changed: ctrl-alt-del strings. Changed: low resources blackout had improper gdi threshold. Changed: shell extensions are now installing as a part of Core. New: transparent desktop icon labels can drop shadows like XP! (requires MMX) New: desktop icon align to grid is permanent setting like XP. Edit: re-uploaded 9.5.5; new 'permanent align desktop icons to grid' did not work on 98 shell.

Yep i screwed this up and gdi heap treshold is too early to fire. Don't worry it'll be fixed soon. I've never tested days uptime . I guess d h m will be fine.

Nope. RP does not create new files.

This stuff has infected pretty much 90% of Delphi installations. I've seen it on all my production machines. They were all sanitized; this one was probably infected from some old distro. You can read more on the web.

Re-uploaded RP9.exe without Win32/Induc. Please don't worry, it wasn't harmful or infectious in any way.

Win32/Induc BAAW! Don't worry, it's not a destructive or infective malware. It's a proof-of-concept virus which hijacks Delphi source code. It won't affect machines without Delphi installed. I just didn't like pitch black XP, and Vista one should be replaced with Win 7. They will work without problems when you upgrade. Feel free to contribute skin ideas.

Thanks for testing! It's good to see someone still remembers me No, i want those grassland-scene-allard_24_600x450.bmp and \windows\clouds.bmp; one of them must cause error somehow. If i somehow last second broke it, i'm terribly sorry (no night releases dammit). Who confirms it's broken?Or wait - you did install without skins? Unfortunately, shell extending is tied to UberSkin in this version; it will be probably changed back later. That's right, for single-user system they can be useless/annoying. I'll probably change Change Password into logoff user.

Ran into an errorWould you please upload here all wallpapers you have? (list is at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\RPConfig\Wallpapers)

It doesn't matter. Previously, setup would block installation if all updates weren't installed; now you practically don't need any. Only if there wouldn't be gdiplus.dll setup will warn you but still continue.

Revolutions Pack 9.5.0 RC lol just 1 year for new release http://tihiy.ahanix.org/RP9.exe Highlights of this release: bugfixes, USER resource usage, Windows 7 skin, RPConfig UI. I wanna hear first adopters.

It's paused / suspended since Xeno86 is busy with diploma and i'm busy back with RP. Please report critical issues (ex.: broken MSYS) to be fixed in stable release.

RP9 setup opened google? Installing those updates are tiresome.

There is compatible psapi.dll in KernelEx.

There are some news about subpixel font rendering if someone is interested. Pardon me if it's not the right place to share. 1) ClearType rasterizer from Microsoft Reader (which i use in RP9) is widely tweakable with registry settings and in fact gives results extremely close to Windows 7 output. 2) There is a full functioning ClearType rasterizer in gdiplus.dll which is artifically restricted by GetVersionEx check. It gives output extremely close to Windows XP output and has decent performance, but GDI+ text api is awkward. And by extremely close i mean pixel perfect match with indistinguishable color or possible minor hinting differences.

No text in Firefox is VPC video driver specific bug afaik.

Here are some parameters to greatly tweak ClearType rasterizer: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\ctras.dll\parameters] "Decimation"=dword:00000001 <- Decimation: advanced processing. Gives less color fringe. Disabled (0) by default. "Gamma"=dword:00000064 <- Text gamma. 100 (0x64) by default. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\ctras.dll\flags] "CompatibleWidth"=dword:00000001 - Force glyph into default metrics. If enabled (1), uses standard (non-aliased) metrics. Very useful for small fonts. Disabled (0) by default. "NonCTDIRAA"=dword:00000001 - Additional anti-aliasing. Works only with Decimation enabled. Don't enable without Decimation. Disabled (0) by default. "CTDIRSPP"=dword:00000000 - Sub-pixel positioning. Disabled (0) by default. I like those i specified. Note that changes apply only for newly-started programs.

Now this is a serious bug which must wake RP9 from hibernation. Stay tuned.
