Revolutions Pack 9.7

[Tihiy]

I decided to load a whole lot of the backgrounds that I have for use on my system

That's right, RPConfig is not photo gallery manager. It will seriously slow down after 10-20 wallpapers, especially high resolution ones; speed depends more on hard disk, not CPU. I'm considering fixing this, but not that much...

I suggest RP9 to give such warning by displaying an icon at the system tray.

That's nice suggestion.

Is it possible to combine the "task list" and "uptime / resource percentage lamps" into same page? (i.e. everything in 1 page)

Also nice, but i don't imagine a good mockup.

Maybe just an exclamation (!) icon with tooltip text of "System appears unstable". Click it to display the Kernel Task Manager. Right click to display a shortcut menu with options to "Close all applications", "Reboot" and "Shutdown"

Hello everybody

2 days ago I installed RP9 and I really loved the new look of the icons.

But when i tried to change the theme nothing happened and RPConfig hung up.

At first I thought that something was wrong but then I remembered I had the same problem with ScanDisc.

The reason was my firewall : Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6.

After turning the firewall off everything worked just perfectly and I really love the new look and feel of my system.

So thank you very much Tihiy for your great work.

I got mine from the MDGx guys site (Tihiy is promoted there, too):

It's a bit confusing, but you are supposed to actually read the text and then

use one of the links mentioned under "IMPORTANT" by copying and pasting.

Worked fine for me.

thx.. i got it

I think they just picture it base on their imagination

i'm making a new session dialog, it's like Windows XP, i need help, what dll, with rundll32.exe, i call for show the "Shut Down Windows" Dialog ?

[M()zart]

what dll, with rundll32.exe, i call for show the "Shut Down Windows" Dialog ?

I've already performed similar search and found no such function. But there are alternatives:

* rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx n

where n is one, or a combination of, the following numbers:

* 0 - LOGOFF

* 1 - SHUTDOWN

* 2 - REBOOT

* 4 - FORCE

* 8 - POWEROFF

This shutdowns Windows without calling dialogs (you may write your own Shutdown dialog with these function, more info here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/234216

Or you may use VBScript to open Shutdown dialog (Windows Scripting Host required).

Dim objShell
set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.ShutdownWindows
set objShell = nothing

(create *.vbs file with this content and run it to show dialog)

i'm making the Windows Logon of XP with VB6 but i need to create a binary file that load the password of the user, example, if, "test" is a good user, then no message error, but for the password, it load into a binary file, and i need that

P.S: For load direct the winlogon.exe, i put on HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

then it will load before the desktop

In RP9, you can run "rundll32 ktm8,Shutdown", although i wouldn't recommend you to.

[luluthefirst]

i don't know how do you that to edit the task manager of windows 98 se

it's possible to unload all application but not my VB application? (like a bit a system shutdown or a log off)

Revolutions Pack 9 interferes with latest miranda 0.8.0, it makes some icons in miranda appear totally black. Tried messing with options on "misc" tab in RP config, but it didn't help. In the end removing RP from the system solved the issue.

So, until it's resolved im sticking with older version of miranda

Yeah, i know but i'm, totally addicted to RP, i can't stop now.

Tihy, can i ask for the code to display the system resources that are shown in KTM.

I am on a forum that is making an LCARS shell for Windows, The shell includes an 'Engineering' section that in xp/vista shows resource usage + cpu, however when I run it I get an exeption saying it needs NT. I said Id ask incase he couldnt find out how to do it for 9x.

Thanks,

Trev

P.S. You may get credited for it.

P.S.S. While Im here, the all in one KTM may get too big for small resolutions. I like it the way it is design wise. Improve,ments are always welcome )

maybe it's a function to import on kernel32.dll/user32.dll, your post must be in KernelEx 4.0 RC 2, The guy created KernelEx will maybe add this function that doesn't require Windows NT

[trevor89]

No, I would say Im in the right forum.

Im not asking about kex, Im asking the guy that made KTM8 for the code to display resources...

Just to clarify things up here.
