[ChrisKuhli]

Hello dude(s)!

I have a (new?) issue... It's related to logonui.exe. After a little experimenting with deinstall - testing other pack(s) and back to yours the modification is reverted so i've the original XP style and i can not get the Vista style of the logon - neither if reinstall!

I didn't see any unattended / silent options in the first post...Any chance that there are / will be any?

[damian666]

hi guys, well for the translation stuff, please help me out there.

aply the pack and then translate the things that are not right, and then send it to me.

that way, i can include it.

and silent options, well nsis installers accept the /S switch, but remember...

its not tested.

which brings me to the following, i need beta testers.

anyone up to the challenge? pm me...

today new update will be released, in a hour or so...

On my last days which i can surf from home i got in trouble with TClock3! (1.3.0 i took this night)

I ought to boot in failsafe to disable Taskbar skinning via deinstall that tool via your Maintenance Center!

Reloader does makes sense here only a few anymore...

Great work damian.

What is the theme you have installed with the pack? Would love to find/use it on my system.

Few change requests: In Start -> Run. Can it be modified to look like Vista and not have that rather annoying and distracting animated image? Also, can the MSFN link in the start menu be an optional change?

Oh, and when you go to shutdown the images are not properly lined up.

I've uploaded TClock3 0.3.1 (see the Win2k forum). It has some improved startup code that should be more stable.

Hi damian666,

with WildBill's TClock3 0.3.1 and the attached German.ini, TClock runs in conjunction with VistaPack 1.3.0 pretty well.

In your next release, please insert this German.ini. (otherwise W2k crashes, if Tclock is selected to be installed.

For other languages a modified *.ini is necessary too.

Great work, thanks.

German.INI

@tarun, well, just look in windows\resources\themes... its there as vista final i believe.

And a screenshot of the vista runbox then please, so i can look in to it ok???

and that shutdown alingment, well i have seen it. but the strange thing is that it not always happens... you could try to force reload the shell32 and msgina, see if it helps

@wildbill, thanx man, going to get it now...

@s1hansa, nice man, will include it right away, thanx man...

Hi Damian,

I recently installed the hotfix KB925902 (for my XP system) and I lost the use of calculator.exe.

It has something to do with the increased size of the user32.dll (and shell32.dll?) with the new Vista resources.

Seems like a fix is here:

Also, I don't know if Tihiy's work fixes the batmeter.dll bitmaps to display in full color for W2k. But, for XP, these show only 16 colors. I modded these images to look as good as I could get them with only 16 colors. Here they are if you like:

There's a new TClock3 0.3.2 in the NT/2k section that has two major bugfixes...
