PROBLEMCHYLD Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I thought I'd chip in regarding a new banner for 98SE2ME.Someone mentioned that they'd like to see gold lettering (maybe PROBLEMCHYLD?). I thought that would be a giggle, so I tried. I've attached the result with this post.This is only a quick job just so that any who is interested can get ideas. If anyone likes the idea, I'll do my best to produce something better, working within the constraints. I'm sure that, with attention, a better job can be made.The font incidently is Franklin Gothic Demi.Thats Crucial. Great Work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmsta Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I'm jumping on the bandwagon, with a minimalistic banner.98se2melogo.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROBLEMCHYLD Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) I tryed the DUNZIP32.DLL 5.00.07,DZIP32.DLL 5.00.07and this is what i get but it still extract and still able to decrypt/encrypt Edited July 23, 2007 by PROBLEMCHYLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGx Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) I tryed the DUNZIP32.DLL 5.00.07,DZIP32.DLL 5.00.07and this is what i get but it still extract and still able to decrypt/encryptThanks for trying.D*ZIP DLLs v5.xx are from current edition of DynaZip tool [shareware] from the DynaZip web site.I guess they removed support for M$ ZIP Folders. I think we'll stick with v3.xx in 98SE2ME.And actually this doesn't matter, because if 98SE2ME detects newer versions, it does not copy the 3.xx ones to %windir%\system .Thanks.

bristols Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) Here are 3 more variations on the 'gold' theme for a Start menu banner. I've saved these at larger sizes, so boot screens/desktops are a possibility.Sorry everyone - I promise that this is the last time I pursue this 'gold logo' stuff. How about adjusting the existing logo to read "98SE2ME Killer Replacements", using the same font (various weights of Franklin Gothic) so that we keep the original style? Maybe I'll attach efforts in that direction, when I have a bit more time. How exciting is that? PS - these files have 16 colours each, and all have the same dimensions: 21 x 233 pixels (in line with the specs that MDGx gave).98se2me_banners_gold.zip Edited May 30, 2006 by bristols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROBLEMCHYLD Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) I think WolfX2 artwork would be perfect for a boot logoand yours bristols would be perfect for the start banner 157-3 . Thank you guys for lookin through my eyes and seein my visionsonly to make 98SE2ME UNTOUCHABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MDGx Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 I'm still waiting for more entries for the Explorer Start menu banner, so I can compare different designs.So far, I like better the 1 created by jimmsta. Nice work. jimmsta:What font did you use?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomorph Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 sorry if this has been covered. a search didnt help me much.whenever i run the 98toME program, several registry entries are added to my system without asking.Copy to FolderMove to FolderSend Toi've removed these registry entries (they are added to the registry in several locations). i noticed in the README it says it adds these keys, without any Undo/uninstall.why? my Right Click menu is cluttered enough, and i hate having to re-remove the registry entries every time i run the program.

PROBLEMCHYLD Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 (edited) Now that i got my Windows update working againI get the Q329048 update at the WU site as if the files doesn't register correctlyNow the files are installed and they workbut i just don't understand why i'm prompt to update Q329048it never did that B 4.Also I'm using telnet 5.0.1755.2the version from 98SE2ME is 4.90.3000and it keeps overwritin my newer versionCan you ad code to all files thats being replace to not overwrite if they detect newer versions Edited May 31, 2006 by PROBLEMCHYLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROBLEMCHYLD Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the Upnp tip above.I have them both installed.Also can you remove Clipbrd and add Clipbookbecause Clipbrd is already functional in clipbook so we don't need both.Try to consider irmon.exe=infrared monitorThanks again Edited June 1, 2006 by PROBLEMCHYLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
