alsiladka Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 First things first. Man you do not cease to surprise . Nice release. Do not know if it was there before or i noticed it the first time , but liked the usual final or finish button being named XpizeAnd i do not know what happened i failed in looking for it or skipped it , But no office 2003 files being updated. I think i saw it in 4.2 beta 1. But cool stuff. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPero Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) The "XPize" button instead of "Install" is new Office 2003 icons are patched only in full version (not Lite). It adds 128x128 size support to Office icons. It does not change their look. Edited December 24, 2005 by XPero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsiladka Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 The "XPize" button instead of "Install" is newGosh its so wonderful that it came to notice the first time itself. Office 2003 icons are patched only in full version (not Lite)Even last time i had the lite pack and i saw the office icons in that. How come? may be i would have made a mistake.It adds 128x128 size support to Office icons. It does not change their lookLol does not matter then. i use only 32x32. But when can i expect the frontpage icon then? are you going to get it in Xpize even the lite pack. A nice release. Liked the Xpize menu. May be you could rename the Xpize settings to Xpize tweaker. Tweaker seems to be more the better name. Also the nice upgradement of the reloader is welcome. Great work Xpero! Now you can have a nice christmas and new year break and we can return with the final release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maska Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) Sorry to spoil Christmas but there are problems in Windows 2003 R2. Just installed it, no warnings during install but... all Administrative Tools are looking like in the pic below. I can't also work from menus. Is there any detailed log I could check or post here?

XPero Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) Strange, all logs show commands completed. Anyone knows the difference between Admin Tools in Windows 2003 R2 and XP? May THIS have something to do? Edited December 24, 2005 by XPero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flupke Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 (edited) First of all: Merry Christmas!Thanks a lot XPero for the christmas presents and another great release of XPize!A few things:- I don't have inetmgr.dll on my XP Media Center Edition either, but everything works fine.- The new screensaver seems not to work. The small preview in the control panel shows the saltshaker but full screen I get the standard Windows XP screensaver instead.- IMO the XPize Menu is useless.- Maybe you can add a selection to the installer wether to add XPize to the Start Menu or not.- The shared folder icon in filemgmt.dll and shrpubw.exe have thick borders for the large icon (all the other large folder icons have thin borders), and the small icon is in perspective (all the other small folder icons are straight).- In Paint, on the right side of the rectangular selection button on the toolbar, there are some pixels that belong to the eraser. So the eraser icon is 1 column to wide on the left side in the long bitmap of buttons. Also the shape of the eraser is a bit irregular on the front. Some of the bitmaps are not really centered in the buttons on the toolbar. I'm really picky here, you might have to zoom in to see this.

colornokia Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Strange, all logs show commands completed. Anyone knows the difference between Admin Tools in Windows 2003 R2 and XP?

maska Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I can also confirm that XPize screensaver doesn't work on Win 2003 R2. Instead of it, I have only a black screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrit Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 A million thanks from all the users of your hard work.A feature request:As you have added extra features in the Beta 2 version and a lot of check boxes, is it possible to create a "CFG File" to save having to check those items.If the CFG was in the same folder/drive as the main file that would be perfect.Again, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
