What is the Tango Desktop Project?
The Tango Desktop Project exists to create a consistent user experience for free and Open Source software with graphical user interfaces.
While the look and feel of an application is determined by many components the initial work has been done on unifying the look of the individual icon sets.
Tango defines a standard icon style guidelines document that applications and desktop enviroments can adhere to. Work has started on creating a new base icon theme based on a standard icon naming specification. In addition, we provide transition utilities to create icon themes for existing GNOME and KDE desktops.
Eventually, the Tango Desktop initiative aims to provide:
* A specified default native look.
* A subsystem to help standardize toolkits on a common look and feel.
* A complete, standard set of application, mimetype, and stock icons to build upon a style guide.
* Cross-desktop humane interface guidelines.
Check it out --> Official website
...hope to see some kind of 'pack' that change 9x into a tango-style desktop !!!

First, the Gape' s UNOFFICIAL Windows98SE Service Pack is a great work.
[..] I can write the name or the string to search, but the list of the files found, the result of the search, is not visible because it seems covert by the first window.
Same here.

I did wonder about the legality issue Pity.
Not a great problem.
To get an idea: you can legally reverse engineer anithing for educational purposes.

that's the reason i asked XP theme in uSP !note that RP contains original Windows ME filesAnyway i'm pretty sure that XP icons are patented, so i think another way is to get a cool XP-like patent-free icon set. Here are some links (personal use is free for all)...
DRL WindowsXP Visual Style (cooool !!!) download it now
...more @ InterfaceLIFT
And from Wesley Parish' editorial @ OSViews:
ReactOS NightlyMS Win98 users... I've got good news for you. ReactOS' cmd.exe works in Win98, and it's a lot better than command.com. So if you are tired of mucking around with the Windows command line but still need to use it, download the ReactOS LiveCD and copy cmd.exe to the C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND directory. You'll be glad you did.Finally, already suggested: Windows Explorer Patch (256 color TrayIcons)

Another suggestion for the 'uSP' (unofficial Service Pack):Inpout32.dll

Speed Up ISP Logon Time
Faster Modem Dialing
Change the Size of the Virtual Disk Cache

DMABufferSize=64
MinSPs=8
Disable Screen Saver When Disk Defragmenter Active
Well, seems really few tweaks.
Check out these (i know you already know them):
WinGuides' Tweaks for Windows 98
Griffin Digital's Windows 98 Optimization Guide
Getting The Most From Windows 98 - Tweaks and Shortcuts!
...and many more !
Why not adding these tweaks too ?
0 -
Well, just curious of 'performace tweaking' applied by the SP2.01.
Can you list them ?
There are many interesting sites/softwares that can tweak win9x very deeply.
Are all useless ?

About software CPU coolers: check this website ( [quiteOT]: does anyone knows an open source CPU idler ? Thanks in advice ).
So, as you can read, many peoples consider the media player as a part of the OS...install Media Player 9.0 (+patches)(quoting myself)
Media Player Classic and FFDSHOW could be considered as an Update0 -
MPC, vlc, BSPlayer, K-Lite Codec Pack, ffdshow, LAME etc. Where can you stop?
BSPlayer & K-Lite Codec Pack are not open sourced.
MPC & FFDSHOW are more in MicroSoft vein (more vfw) than VLC.
If you decide to put FFDSHOW you don't need anything other (for audio too).
(sorry i edited while you were answering...)
About NTFS: already discussed, and if i remember well... it's (almost) impossible.
Anyway here is an open source implementation: NTFS driver yes.gif
I suggest to take in some consideration OpenBFS wacko.gif
Cosmetic: Open source Icons/boots/walls whistling.gif
Another thing: do you think it's usefull (it possible) to 'update' DOS utils ? (format, fdisk, etc)

Open Sourcing Windows 9x

Well, ReactOS is an NT clone.
Wine & Linux are not so mutch compatible with drivers.
The unique way would be E/OS LX, but "is based on parts of linux, freebsd, reactos and wine sources" so it just could help.
Anyway my idea have a different approach that allows you to have a fully functional system since 0.0.0.0.0.1
