One of you tech guys must know where the font colour is held. I don't think its in winntbbu.dll, because there are no 6 digit hex colour references in there

I used procdump to view all of the files setup was calling, winnt32u.dll was one of them, it shows how lazy MS is, they left a few whistler bmps and loads of strings in there, eg

"Microsoft Windows 2002 Blade Server Setup"

"Microsoft Windows XP Preinstall Environment"

I've never heard of blade server, but it sounds pretty good :). Winnt32u seems to be a backup of winnt32a, and it contains the setup dialogs (product key entry, language setings etc).

I can't find any text colour strings in either of those files, winntbba seems to be exactly the same as winntbbu :rolleyes:

Just finished this, tell me what you think  :) ...

I could use a host for this pls, both files are in an 852Kb rar file but tripod won't let me upload them :rolleyes:

How did you get the status messages to consist of one line each (instead of two)? Lowering the font size didn't seem to work for me. Also, how come it looks drastically different in general? You've got a nicer looking setup window for instance!

:rolleyes: Thanks for the compliments mate. The setup window is part of winnt32u.dll, i had to edit the icons to match the background. The file is available in the first post now, thanks gosh :)

The Saint: Glad you like it, put winnt32u.dll and winntbbu.dll in \i386 on your XP CD. You'll also have to use

makecab winntbbu.dll

Then place winntbbu.dl_ in your \i386 directory aswell :)

How did you get that bar at the bottom, I'm guessing the outline is part of the background, but how didi you change the position.

For transparent background, use the winntbbu.dll from windows 2003 :)

I've made a rather depressing discovery...... it appears you can only get the "one-line status message" effect if you run Setup.exe in the actual Windows - not during the initial install setup. You could've reminded me that those previous shots were all taken from the real Windows Setup!

n.e.o.w.i.n does not have any periods. It's only posted this way because it's a forum site just like this. It's really lame that there is fighting between the two. Each has their own "specialty" Come here if you want to learn how to do unattended CDs, go there if you want to just BS about absolutely nothing. hehe Wonder what will happen when my site goes live, I'm sure they will all block it too.
