    A big mistake, or not...

    in XPize

    Posted

    The timedate zip file you uploaded is corrupted (or rather, the file contained is empty). The system one works fine though.

    I can add this easily enough, what's the LCID of your system? (en-US is 1033, what's pt?)

    Localisation for xpize 5 Release 6

    in XPize

    Posted · Edited by W3bbo

    Thanks for the updates guys. I'm almost ready to push out the release. I've been spending the past few days improving uninstallation, and I'm pretty much done now.

    I made a mistake with the string for "E_A_feedbackLbl" and "E_A_feedbackLbl_Cus": I put the string formatting placeholders (those "{0}" and "{1}" things you see around) in the wrong place.

    So if people could translate these by simply posting in this thread that'd be great:

    E_A_feedbackLbl - Why are you uninstalling this package? Your feedback will be sent to the developer to improve the package in future.

    E_A_feedbackLbl_Cus - Why are you uninstalling {0}? Your feedback will be sent to {1} to improve {0} in future.

    Also, the Arabic, Farsi, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Swedish translations need to include the new strings relating to feedback (starting with "G2"). These are included in this update:

    Thanks all!

    XPize Darkside Mod

    in XPize

    Posted

    Well i am looking to change all the orange bars to blue, such as loading bars, transfer bars. right now they are orange.

    also i have used royale remix, infact i used it for many years before this, i just like the darkside mod alot

    i would like to lose the orange colour in favour of a blue colour from royale remixed.

    i havent really used xpize that much and am not familiar on how to change little bits here and there. any help is much appreciated.

    apologies on the late response

    You'll need to modify the visual style directly. You can do this with Resourcer, just extract the contents of the *.msstyles file to disk, alter them in Photoshop, then re-import back into the file and load it up.

    Release 6 Status

    in XPize

    Posted

    Due to further optimisations I've been able to squeeze another few hundred KB out of the data files, bringing the internal xpize 5R6 build down to just over 16MB, over 2MB less than 5R3 despite containing so much more. Go me :)

    Here's the list of minor issues that I want to finish before releasing 5R6:

    • Improving the XP-style Internet Explorer 8 toolbar icon artwork
    • Improving uninstallation
      • A couple of strings aren't localised for some reason
      • Cursor schemes aren't currently restored on uninstall
      • The current 'theme' (colors and fonts, not visual styles) isn't properly reset on uninstall

      [*]Downloadable tools will be updated

      [*]Implent the installation feedback system

    ...and that's pretty much it.

    So gimmie a day or two.

    Here's the spanish translation bro... I changed some strings because they was wrong... And what happened with the credits? who r JaCk0 and GMEN??? I thought i was the one who did the whole translation...

    Beats me :) Evidently the last person to change the string table.

    I assume this is the same string table that I received from you via email this morning?

    xpize 5 Release 5

    in XPize

    Posted · Edited by W3bbo

    First off, thanks for continuing and improving the work os Xpero, this really brings a shine to XP :-) I'd like however to report two icons that weren't replaced (one of them is probably outside the scope of xpize but still).

    Anyway the first one if the windows update icon (i had the same problem with the last version Xpero made). The other one is the Nvidia PhyX icon. Find them in the attached pic.

    I've done some research into this, and I'm sorry to say it's impossible to fix.

    Control Panel icons are not pulled directly from the CPL file. Icons are actually gotten by loading the control panel into memory and asking it for the icon. The Control Panel itself has no way of knowing what size icon is expected and probably just returns 16x16 and 32x32 (and not the 48x48 subimage) which is probably what's happening (since all of the Windows Update icons in all the Windows files contain a 48x48 subimage).

    Technical details here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1299016...cons-windows-xp

    It's the same thing with the nvidia control panel icon (mine, not yours), except rather than upscaling the 32x32 icon instead it downscales the 128x128 icon.

    Release 6 is now pretty much ready, all that's left is localisation.

    I've uploaded the resx files to my website so anyone can download them. If you're not a member of the forums just upload your translation to rapidshare and email me the link.

    The localisation tool has been updated so allow sort-by-column. You won't need to ever press "Rename" or "Delete" (so don't).

    Thanks

    I saved 500KB in size by converting the PNGs to BMPs (which, surprisingly, are compressed by LZMA better), however I'm having some problems with the images not being composted correctly. Release 6 should be out sometime on the 20th.

    Hey W3bbo, here is something regarding your local tool again:

    It seems, that you switched the grid control of your local tool.

    That should be the reason for the loss of the sorting function.

    But this is a very helpful function to find strings easily.

    Could you please reimplement this function? :rolleyes:

    I didn't change the control, I just disabled visual styles on it so it renders itself much faster. All the strings are sorted by Key and that's all that matters.

    res://ieframe.dll

    in XPize

    Posted

    The res:// URI scheme just tells Windows to open the specified file (ieframe.dll, under System32) and retrieve the specified resource name ("info_48.png"). Note that res:// hides the new MUI system (so it also checks system32\en-US\ieframe.dll.mui).

    The INFO_48.PNG resource exists (on my computer, at least) as C:\Windows\system32\en-US\ieframe.dll.mui\HTML\"INFO_48.PNG"

    Do the command line arguments from the older xpize's work on this one? I ask because that would be awfully handy for use in AutoImage.

    Can't wait to check this out.

    No, they don't. xpize 5 is built on an entirely new framework and shares nothing with XPize 4 (for instance, it doesn't use reshacker anymore, it does the resource patching by itself). If you want to modify the xpize package you can extract it and edit the XML file manually.

    What do you mean with that?

    Is is not suitable, that the contols are placed on the right side?

    - I think W3bbo did just set the contols font alignment to right-aligned - and the control itself puts the control elements on the right side.

    If this is what you mean, W3bbo could leave the alignment left-aligned I guess.

    But there is another problem visible in that screenshot: the Next button has an arrow, which points in the wrong direction - maybe its also an alignment issue...?

    PS: there is a similar problem on the screen shot from this post:

    The Next button has two arrows (maybe one was added by the translator). - Which directions is right one??? ;)

    Arabic and Farsi are both "right-to-left" languages, as opposed to English and German which are left-to-right. For this reason software should re-position text so that it's right-aligned to make it easier to read. This is how Windows Vista looks if you turn on RTL mode, for example. The Windows checkbox and radio-button controls both swap the position of the checkbox part when RTL mode is enabled (which isn't the same thing as alignment).

    I will say that I'm not sure what the issue is that Hessam is describing, the text looks like its being displayed fine. I'll need more details. Unfortunately I don't know any other Farsi or Arabic-literate people who can assist me.

    thankyou W3bbo for moving top of logo for right to left

    this dont see to translate

    about tools of xpize its working with different languge?

    i want changing some line and see preview in wizard

    The text shown "Makes your Windows XP..." is in the xpize package XML file and not the installer itself, it isn't possible to localise it at present. Thanks for pointing out the "Simple" button, I'll add that to the list. I must have overlooked it.

    The Anolis Tools are not currently localised, mainly because it would take a lot of effort and because I change them a lot more than the Installer it's hard to keep the translations up to date. It's a very low priority for me.
