sadicq Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Thank you very much !!The switches are just great ... Gonna install it tonight!XPize is just getting better and better.
some_guy Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 nice pack...one question... i installed w/ boot screen, but when i rebooted, i still have the standart sp2 bootscreen... is that right?
Dynaletik Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 (edited) Installed the Lite version and the boot screen works. Look if in the windows directory there is a file called boot.bmp and are there the attributes /noguiboot /bootlogo in your boot.ini behind your the boot entry.BTW: Everything works fine for me. Don't wanna miss it. Now, both version are supported by nLite? And what 128 icons are missing in the lite version? Don't know them Edited September 5, 2005 by Dynaletik
SkillTill Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Simply amzazing, XPero!Now I know, why you were a bit impatient... The new icons are great and the dxmasf.dll is modded, as I requested...Great work, good on you! Regards SkillTill
XPero Posted September 5, 2005 Author Posted September 5, 2005 Now, both version are supported by nLite? And what 128 icons are missing in the lite version? Don't know them <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Forget about uAE. Both full and lite versions works with nlite. All 128x128 icons have been removed. this is specially good for those having memory allocation errors or those that simply dont want to increase size of system files.
