Sorry, Xeno86, but your program is just no good: - Resident [processes are expensive] - Not using message-loop [wrong design and thus CPU usage] - Can cause deadlocks [timered send-message] The right design will be: - Load into explorer.exe as DLL [injecting, or better, using ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad] - Hook list-view and update color only when needed I can write such tool if anybody wants.

Thanks for release, Gape! Changelist looks promising and solid. Problem: infex.ini: [RunPost] shell.inf,SHELL32.W98 shell.inf: Explorer.exe,,,4 Shell32.dll,,,4 Oh why the heck? Forcing installing explorer.exe and shell32.dll looks extremely wrong to me. It instantly breaks Revolutions Pack or 98SE2ME Option 3, why'd you do that? That'll also break 98Lite as well. Or that is supposed to run if shell32.w98 is NOT present? Looks like wrong way. Those files should copy only if shell32.dll version is 4.72.*. One more [minor] thing: infex main window hangs while installing INF. I think just disabling window and checking if process still running (via timer / GetProcessVersion/GetExitCodeProcess or directly in message loop) will be right thing.

Hiya, man, sorry but there is no way. If there were a way, i would certainly provide it, yea? Unfortunately RP7 taskbar skinning is tied with WinME' patched explorer.exe, and whole skinning system is tied to RP dlls. You may try RP6++ instead of RP7, but if you've already installed RP3.6 (heck where'd you get it) you may need to reinstall your system because all RP<5 are flawed with bad uninstaller . I hope RP8 will address your issues with more componentization and stability.

Right click taskbar -> Lock Taskbar.

And why not you? I've tried oa2k.dll from VB6-KB924053-x86-ENU.exe (update for 2000) and it seems to work.

Welcome back, Gape! I'm glad new uSP is coming. I still prefer good old uSP2.1 over AP. Sorry, but won't you consider removing old IE5 updates included? Anyway if IE5 is used somewhere, it is still buggy and vulnerable with or without these updates. Also, All: there is newer msvbvm60.dll (6.0.97.98, kb930828) available, for example here. There is newer kb934602, but is is not available yet [i've tried to request it].

VIPv3 works flawlessly for me, just return explorer.exe and taskmgr.exe from backup after installing.

No. RP7 does not run such a program and does not include any 3rd party programs. What is "XP method"?

This request should go into RP thread. RP does not support DBCS systems, and won't support them since i don't have any.

Win95cmd.exe - excellent find! Does anyone have consize.exe? As for solution, command.com and cmd.exe can be merged so command.com will work under DOS, and cmd.exe in Windows. I'll try to do that.

^^ Oh that's crap. And you won't succeed if you're unable to overcome limitations. What is "invisable borders"? You can just tweak scheme to make border size = 0, and make border bitmaps with the same color as window color. Because your caption buttons won't be resized, you'd better use AeroButtons=1 and tweak AeroButtonsTop and AeroButtonsMinRight. You may also need to convert those bitmaps to 32-bit color ones with alpha channel.

In fact, i hope you still can launch everything except explorer.exe You can 1) try to launch explorer.exe from \windows\revbckup 2) try to reinstall RP in both cases, you still must be able to run programs via ctrl-alt-del->run program or with some other trick, like specifying winfile.exe instead of explorer.exe in system.ini [boot] shell=

^^ You've messed up your system seriously after RP. You should restore your explorer.exe file from ME CD or reinstall RP.

Oh my god. Disable and kill Active Desktop with fire plz. Update video card drivers, set 32-bit video mode, disable everything from startup, and then install RP. That's what i can say for now

In latest NVidia drivers, i experienced bad performance in 3D and movie playing until - i switched "monitor synchronization" from auto to something else This may help.

Someone should slice off your head for this 5 MB of graphic s***!!! :realmad:

Well, it is interesting but too unpolished: - Boring color scheme - Small caption buttons - Taskbar buttons bug - Active/Unactive windows use same color NoPremultAlpha must be =0 in all themes one want to make. NoPremultAlpha=1 is used only in Vista basic skin because Microsoft made bitmaps in Vista msstyles purposefully with pre-multiplied alpha channel. There is no tool to pre/de-multiply alpha channel for images, so that switch was made.

Well, it is kinda stagnated.

It has been reported that this driver *works* on some PCI Express GeForce [7600 GS] video adapters!

I've tried once, however, after driving myself mad patching those stupid imagelists Restorator destroyed my work and i've trown everything into garbage. No one uses that s*** anyway.

Suddenly, newer drivers were found out of nowhere. http://www.nvworld.ru/drivers/old/WideWin9x.rar Those drivers are marked Sept 11 2006 and are believed to provide widescreen support for all nVidia graphic cards up to 6800. Series 7 entries are absent in the inf so you'll have to edit if file yourself.

.32bitimgl hack is limited by design. Do you really need it much? I can patch any of them if you insist.

RP 2.02 with fixed XNView toolbar bug attached to the first post - Toolbar corruptions still not fixed

You're right, it's terrible. Thx for finding this. I'll fix it in 2.02.
