luluthefirst Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'm unable to help. There is a guide to remove RP7, but it requires a lot of skills and time. Or just try a Windows 98 SE installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodgerOver Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hi Dandee,just discovered that I have (now ??) two control panels (one in c:\windows - with the new superb icons - and one directly in My Computer - with the old icons) ?? Or where there always two ? Thought that one is a shortcut, but they do not have the same content (e.g TClockEx (and other programs) are not c:\windows). Do you know which one is the right one and how I can safely remove the other one ?RegardsRoger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second Control Panel (C:\Windows\Control Panel) is now connected to the Start Menu/Settings/Control Panel command. The old one is still there, and also visible in Explorer.If you don't like the idea of having two Control Panels, you can revert to the old one by deleting following registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\CLSID\{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\ShellOnly delete "Shell" key and subkeys, leaving the rest intact. Then you can safely remove C:\Windows\Control Panel.Although not very elegant, this was the only way of displaying the alternative icons. It is very similar to the way the new Control Panel in XP/Vista is set up (using Shell Folder Applets). I am already looking for a way to hide the old Control Panel, but no luck yet...

RodgerOver Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hi Dandee,found a temporary and partial solution here: http://www.virtualplastic.net/# (left, Taskbar and ... something); I tried other things explained there and now I have a very "light" start menu. Don't know however whether I will keep it.Tihiy,aren't you slightly to severe ? ... Anyhow, and as a compuer layman (please take this into account), I find that the (rightclick) "revert to shortcut" and "make applet" features are not so bad !Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkar Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) RP9 (full) working nice, system seems very stable. the desktop icon transparency is a nice touch. Thanks and nice work Tihiy. Edited May 19, 2009 by gkar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandee Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Thanx RodgerOver for your kindness, and thanx Tihiy for your severeness. I have removed the custom Control Panel approach, which in reality is an abominationto the wonderful RP9 software. I've provided all the Control Panel icons as image resources now. The custom Control Panel will be removed from your system via the install script. Please download at:http://www.baut.nl/downloads/RP9-Icons.zipSome of the icons (System, Networking, Ad New Hardware, Modems) refuse to display. I thinkthis is because their modules are from the (16-bit) Win311 legacy. I've included their XP versions anyway. I compiled Netcpl.cpl and sysdm.cpl to 32-bit resources. Modem.cpl I compiled 16-bitfor testing purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoinkity Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Finished up a port of the XP theme RVWoodwork. Its passable, but the window buttons are still bleh.http://two.xthost.info/zoinkity/Windows/Themes/Woodwork.rarPreview image is attached to this post.+_+Oh, incidentally, there's a weird little glitch in the skinning engine. If you select the "help" button and hold or click on the window frame, the original unskinned buttons appear. It can also happen if you right-click a window caption, though it immediately corrects itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloha Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Just a question, Where's your system tray?The Taskbar is on the top and Zoinkity cut the picture so you (and I) can't see the system tray.Otherwise, it looks awsome, and I'm gonna install it now He also made other nice themes. You should try them all too.Zoinkity,I don't have a chance to try the themes you made any more but it's nice to know that you still make them for RP9.
