Well Colors look dull to me. It does not have to be shiny, but currently active/inactive windows look the same Maybe you can delay your skins a bit to polish them for new skinning engine?

Well, they're extemely awesome to my taste! If happens to be icon packs support for RP8, it will be the my first choice! I think i need you (in addition to marxo) for RP8 design. But if you could release those icons as icon set (for existing program like IconPackager, or standalone as ResPatcher), it would be extremely nice!

Can't you delete vbemp.drv (if i do remember correctly) from dos? Why do you need drivers when you have Catalyst?

Bad me! Sorry, but Radeon 9xxx has been already confirmed to work. So far, this driver has been confirmed working on the following chipsets not supported by Windows 9x: Intel 915G,GM,945G,GM,965G Other cards (except Radeon 9xxx) are mostly not working So i'm preparing release which will contain only Intel cards support... BUT WAIT! FROM THE AUTHOR OF LEGENDARY NT VESA DRIVER: Universal VESA/VBE Video Display Driver (for Windows 9x x86 Architecture)(very alpha for now) Check it out!

Run those commands (assuming you have win98 installed in c:\windows): cd \windows\revbckup attrib -r -s -h system.dat attrib -r -s -h user.dat move /Y *.* c:\windows cd system move /Y *.* c:\windows\system

Restore system files from \windows\revbckup under dos manually.

Well, of course. New topic, new site, new manuals etc. It would be nice if had more power over my topics...

I believe that Nero problems can be solved by using compatibility mode: right-click nero shortcut->Compatibility->Troubleshoot - Use compatibility mode (or "Disable LameSkin"). And yes, RP8 will solve problems for those who can't read. In the future, please, constrain from creating themes with RP questions not in RP thread.

In 2008 for sure

What's with the those threads "anyone who can answer it"??? I can answer. Ask me in RP thread or via PM. Why do you start new thread? Furthermore, your question is pointless since RP7 logo in \logo.sys and you can edit it with graphical editor like standard logo.

I'm sorry to say this, Elvis and others, but wmpband.dll won't ever work on 9x systems. [i was sure it has left the building long time ago?]

And why the heck are you asking here?! There is a RP main thread just a bit upper! They are not.

I've used both, and they're both heavily buggy. Paragon NTFS worked almost correctly, but completely hangs while initalizing on some systems (i dunno if it is related to SATA/RAID or LBA48 problems). Sysinternals works for me, but writing feature once corrupted my files, and reading is slow and can completely hang system in some cases. It may work better with some other NT/2K/XP file versions, through...

Looks very well and stable to me! When i'm trying to compile DLL under Delphi 7, there is LongBool/BOOL type mismatch in MyGetCharacterPlacementA and MyGetCharacterPlacementW. If i change them to Integer (as it should be i think), it compiles ok (137KB instead of 191KB), but crashes at startup. Is it your fault or my fault? What could cause those crashes with D7?

mslocusr.dll

Because he can I want my own forum or sub-forum too. And a nice web page. What so bad about it?

I see a way... Replace shell=explorer.exe in [boot] section in \windows\system.ini with shell=command.com for example. Copy SP2 exe file somewhere, for example into C:\ Then boot into Win98 and in command prompt which appears you can start SP2 exe. If you're really advanced, you can extract files from SP2 exe and SP2.cab inside and replace them on system one by one...

I want to say one thing: HIGHLY AWESOME! :thumbup You deserve carte blanche to ask for any LameSkin future feature in RP topic

mufunyo I've done the same, but i've hacked it to use Lucida Console, 10 font by default. I'll upload it if someone wants. NotepadEx is a really good application beside some minor problems (it does not ask to create non-existent file passed, and does not detect encodings reliably).

Dunno. If you want to require user to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete, that's weird, but probably possible with coding. But i think it is easier to reshack mprserv.dll to make it look like 2k/XP one.

ResHacker. There is "Customizing Windows" forum for such questions.

No matter how you optimize it, it will slow things down. Win98 version seems to work faster, but anyway, you must know - it uses: - MS HTML rendering engine, which is slow and buggy; - MS HTML CSS engine, which is slow and buggy; - MS HTML image engine, which is slow and buggy; - MS HTML JScript/VBScript engine, which is slow and buggy. But maybe some magical tricks possible...

Black text with black shadow?

^^ very nice. I suggest you to make active/inactive borders & title a bit more distinguishable.

Your SilverXP needs to use new undocumented LameSkin8 features which allow to change caption text shadow: [Global] ActiveShadow=0 (1 to enable - default) ActiveShadowColor=R G B (0 0 0 - black by default) InactiveShadow=0 (1 to enable) InActiveShadowColor=R G B
