Smiley89 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 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...

Smiley89 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 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).

MrBusty Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 hoping that Release 6 won't come out beforeI think we can keep W3bbo busy until you are back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W3bbo Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 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).You're wasting your time xpize dynamically generates those bitmaps during installation using an image composition expression like:comp:164,628;MCE\GenLong.png,0,0,164,628;Generator\Windows\system32\accwiz.exe\128.png,31,121;MCE\GenStripe.png,160,0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley89 Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 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.
