Andrew T. Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) Isn't Windows 98 already capable of displaying high-color icons out of the box?Just for the sake of expanding upon the topic, Windows 95 can display high-color icons by adding the string value "Shell Icon BPP"/"16" to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\desktop\WindowMetrics from the Registry Editor, or by going through the Display Properties dialogue from the Plus! pack (which appears when you install the font smoother, among other things) and checking the option. Technically that involves 16-bit color instead of 32, but there's hardly a practical difference in the context of pixelated desktop icons. Edited January 4, 2008 by Andrew T.

alexanrs Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Andrew TI think he meant 32-bit icons like in XP, where the alpha channel is used for tranparency.CooledComputerCheck out Revolutions Pack in the "Unnoficial Win98se Service Pack" sub-forum. It gives you 32-bit icons, skinning and more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
