XL-DJK Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Here's a question, how about upgrading specific ms apps?ie. Notepad from SP2 to Notepad v.6.0.4074.0 ie.Calculator v.5.1.2600.0 to Calculatorv .6.0.4074.0
MCT Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 ie. Notepad from SP2 to Notepad v.6.0.4074.0or do the ultimate upgrade & switch to notepad2 what does this have 2 do with device drivers?
XL-DJK Posted August 19, 2004 Author Posted August 19, 2004 well, nothing really, ****.this is the second time I've posted in the wrong area.....Anywho, what I want to do, is change all my icons on my XPCD to look like Longhorn, and was also wondering about changing certain apps to the Longhorn version, ie....Calculator, ???
MCT Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 just pull the files from longhorn & place them on xpcdcalculator & notepad & paint are the easiest just drag & drop, then for icons, edit the dlls using resource tuner
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 I'd also think just copying won't give any problems, these aren't complicated programs...P.S.: what new features are there?
prathapml Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 For giving a longhorn look to all apps - changing the default theme to something that looks like longhorn (slate? jade?) and having SmartbarXP installed might be a better option.Also, longhorn as you see it today is not longhorn - it will keep changing its UI and look until it gets released - until then, you are only seeing its proto-types.Simply copying the EXEs may or may not work - because much of longhorn is tied into .NET code, and managed DX (eventually). So, you may need to have .NET framework installed to run those new EXEs, and god knows what dependencies those will have......And yes, as Bâshrat the Sneaky asks..... what exactly is new in the longhorn versions of these programs? (other than build version )
XL-DJK Posted August 20, 2004 Author Posted August 20, 2004 what exactly is new in the longhorn versions of these programs? (other than build version )New builds means new versions...........example: Windows Messenger 4.9(XP) vs 6.1 (LH)
