Tihiy Posted May 7, 2010 Author Posted May 7, 2010 Were your production machine(s) infected?This stuff has infected pretty much 90% of Delphi installations. I've seen it on all my production machines. They were all sanitized; this one was probably infected from some old distro. You can read more on the web.
RodgerOver Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) Hi Tihiy,just discovered your new version. Realy, really nice (icons, ... amongst others). Had to install in "save mode", because when I installed normally, I always got the following message: ... "There is a system file update pending: please reboot" (or something like this). After two reboots (and still the same message), there was a message about WININNIT.INI (dont recall the exact message). ... So I deleted WININNIT.INI. But again: "System update file pending: please reboot"). So I went into "save mode" and RP 9.5 installed and everything seems fine now !HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO REVOLUTION PACK !Roger(Sorry, forgot to say: There are some new *.win files in the C:\ root directory ?)

Tihiy Posted May 7, 2010 Author Posted May 7, 2010 (Sorry, forgot to say: There are some new *.win files in the C:\ root directory ?)Nope. RP does not create new files.
Queue Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) Ok so, the desktop warning message ''The system is dangerously low in resources!'' was really cool at first, but I am seeing it all the time and getting kinda tired of it; I run with tons of things open at once, but I know my computer's limits, and it's never a problem. Is there some way to change the resource threshhold (I wouldn't mind a warning at like 5%...) or disable that warning display?I mean, I'm at 18% GDI right now, nothing is misbehaving, and my compy isn't gonna freeze; I'll probably have an uptime of over a week unless you release a new version of RP9 which would force me to restart to update. My current uptime is 1 day 22 hours 10 min; I haven't restarted since updating to RP9.5. When you updated RPSetup and RPConfig I just extracted them and threw them in my system folder since no other files changed so I didn't need to restart.Also, that uptime display is kinda weird; it's # d (just a single letter for days), # hours (even if it's just 1, hours is still plural) and # min. (abbreviated). Why not just # d # h # m? Or # days # hours # minutes?Just more feedback; I'm still loving RP9.5 so far.QueueEdit - I'm down to 11% GDI free, and I just tested, and I can open 10 more IE6 windows before I'm out of resources and the newest IE window doesn't render right (missing buttons).

Tihiy Posted May 8, 2010 Author Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) Is there some way to change the resource threshholdYep i screwed this up and gdi heap treshold is too early to fire. Don't worry it'll be fixed soon.Why not just # d # h # m? Or # days # hours # minutes?I've never tested days uptime . I guess d h m will be fine. Edited May 8, 2010 by Tihiy
Tihiy Posted May 8, 2010 Author Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) Revolutions Pack 9.5.5 RChttp://tihiy.ahanix.org/RP9.exeFixed: icon font charset wasn't forced to system one.Changed: ctrl-alt-del strings.Changed: low resources blackout had improper gdi threshold.Changed: shell extensions are now installing as a part of Core.New: transparent desktop icon labels can drop shadows like XP! (requires MMX)New: desktop icon align to grid is permanent setting like XP.Edit: re-uploaded 9.5.5; new 'permanent align desktop icons to grid' did not work on 98 shell. Edited May 8, 2010 by Tihiy
Queue Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) Love the changes with 9.5.5.My system tray is flickering quite a bit when I'm focused on a windowed 3D application, far more than it did with RP9.1. I assume when I have focus on any CPU-hungry program my system tray will flicker (it's during its redraw; the tray blanks out and is slow enough to redraw that I can get a frame where it's blank), and it can flicker as much as twice a second.Edit - It's when the icon graphic for a system tray icon changes; the whole tray redraws.Queue Edited May 9, 2010 by Queue
Tihiy Posted May 9, 2010 Author Posted May 9, 2010 It's when the icon graphic for a system tray icon changes; the whole tray redraws.I know it's a bad excuse, but taskbar skinning was written for Me shell. 98 shell is much harder to control and requires dirty hacks. Nevertheless, it will be improved.

Nevertheless, it will be improved.It's no sweat, I only even mentioned it because the flickering got worse between 9.1 and 9.5. It doesn't actually bother me (yes, I'm weird; a flickering system tray doesn't bother me, yet not being able to lock my taskbar does).Queue
triger49 Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Tihiy ..Great ...everything works...awesome...thanks! There was one nuisance I forgot to mention however from 9.50....blushIf I select a windows 7 skin(either one)...then go back toany other ....the screen blanks...I had mentally dismissedit because I decided I like the Vista black and doubt I'll everuse the Windows 7 blue. But anyway, I can usually bring it backby Ctrl-Alt-Del and it still happens with Ver 9.55Jake

JakePs:...just tryed it again to make sure....mouse cursor is the only thing visible...nothing crashes. but I have to usethe keyboard to get control of the system...Ctrl-esc bringsup the start menu....ctrl-alt-del works also.

Tihiy Posted May 9, 2010 Author Posted May 9, 2010 Maybe you mean black desktop and "out of resources" warning in the corner?
triger49 Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Maybe you mean black desktop and "out of resources" warning in the corner?Sorry Tihiy, must be having a senior moment herewith my communication skills. it is like you havea Black screen that is pinned as "stay-on-top"System resources are not affected...I can see the system resources when I hit ctrl-alt-del. I can seethe start menu when I push ctrl-esc.....A reboot putseverything back in orderJake
triger49 Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Hi;Just for the sake of leaving a clearly markedtrail here.All the problems I was encounteringwith RP9.5.x where the result of one bit mappedimage that I am pretty sure I found over at Wikipedia Commons.... If someone had told me that one Bmp wallpaper couldcause that much trouble, I would not have believedit possible.Jake
