FantasyAcquiesce Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hello, Today, I am in search of making Windows 9x more modern looking. I have currently tried to look up the old trial versions of StarDock WindowsBlinds for Windows 98/ME, but even the WindowsBlinds Classic version does not work with Windows ME, but requires 2000 or later. Are there any good alternatives to Revolutions Pack 9.7? I love Revolutions Pack, but using it with KernelEx causes problems with explorer.

ABCDEFG Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Revolution Pack setup a System-wide hook. KernelEx too, just different methods. So, at some point cross redirection happens, i guess... Edited April 25, 2020 by ABCDEFG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loblo Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) I have no conflicts between the two but I only use a fairly old KernelEx because newer ones broke too much stuff in my system. Also I'm not using RP for skinning Windows but only for having ClearType and the LDT resources counter it adds to the Ctrl-Alt-Del dialog .

M()zart Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I had no conflicts either when I had Windows 98 PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
