WildBill Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 The ShellWM site appears to be down but if you dig through the CVS repository on SourceForge it looks like work was begun on v.0.8, and later on 0.81 and 0.82. Maybe someone could build it and try it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpj2 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) Hello Damian,here are some other things I found:The registry entry to change MS Shell Dialog fonts are wrong!It's not: segoebk but "Segoe UI".You must use the name displayed in the font preview. See picture below.So the registry entries must read:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes\MS Shell Dlg = Segoe UI HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes\MS Shell Dlg2 = Segoe UIIf this values were applied the system.cpl looks like this:As you see the font is now Segoe UI. But now you can see why the dimension of the picture on the left side is not correct. The reason is the new font!(I also moved the MS sans serifs fonts (sserife.fon and sseriff.fon) to a directory "FontsSave")hpj2 Edited July 15, 2007 by hpj2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKuhli Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) Damian could you ever upload newer Screenshots possibly, with skinning enabled? Need them for the thread in the German-nLite Board that i'm maintaining (see my signature)! Edited July 15, 2007 by ChrisKuhli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scholle Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 My OS is XP SP2. Currently I'm using version 1.1.0 of the Vistapack. I want to update to version 1.2.0. Is it necessary to uninstall the old version first or is it possible to install the new version directly over the old version? Please excuse this newbie question but I'm using this pack only a few days. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKuhli Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 (edited) Hallo scholle Damian666 recommends uninstall of previous Beta version (Readme can be read during installation Readme). You can download and start it, but before implementing, its safer to remove the older one. Especially the normally enabled protection may help to recover (i don't use that).Greets from a sunny part Germany,Chris Edited July 21, 2007 by ChrisKuhli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisKuhli Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) Hello Damian666 You made a very fine work dude! Now i have a very stylish Windows XP But one little issue is in german translation, the changing of following strings in sysdm.cpl:- dutch "Organizatie" is in german "Organisation"- dutch "geactiveerd" in german is "aktiviert"- the representation of englisch "Physical Adress Extension", german "Physikalische Adresserweiterung" doesn't fit, i mean i read only the first word.BTW the debug.txt in the directory where i ran the installer is empty???Thank you and go on so enthusiastic!Chris Edited July 23, 2007 by ChrisKuhli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
