July 25, 200917 yr Here's a little idea I recently had.In the new xpize 5 release 4, I see that there're many "styles" to choose from (and I like the idea). So, I was thinking of a "generic" style which can be suitable for many Visual Styles.I'm thinking of bitmaps with the same icons, but with a white background. As the default background in wizards is white, i think this can fit well with the overall style of the windows. And it is suitable for third party Visual Styles.I would like to do the work, but I don't have the original icons for each bitmap.I did a couple of examples (note that they're not actually patched, they're only edited pictures):(I used WereWolf's control panel icon on DeviantArt to make this example)I haven't thought yet about a generic msgina.dll or a generic logonui.exe because I have no idea of how they could be...
August 14, 200917 yr Author I'm currently working on it: I made, so far, 27 BMPs.Now I'm going on holiday for 10 days but when I come back I'll finish the work (hoping that Release 6 won't come out before).
August 14, 200917 yr hoping that Release 6 won't come out beforeI think we can keep W3bbo busy until you are back...

August 23, 200917 yr Author Oh well... I didn't know that. And, to be honest, I was not sure I could finish them.So the only thing which has to be done is to use a blank background...You spared me a lot of work XDWell, I would like to see this in next release, but do as you like.
