Windows 2000 Revolutions Pack

[Targaff]

Tihiy: could you take another look at Miranda if you get the chance? The .32bitimgl method was working originally but something that's changed in the meantime appears to have broken it partly, at least for me. The same chat dialog only has correct icons on mouseover, while some parts of the UI don't seem to draw correctly, though I'm not sure why.

Cheers!

You haven't specified which Miranda version should be checked: the stable 0.6.x branch, or the development 0.7.x one?

[Tihiy]

Checked last 0.7.x version and did work for me.

However, i can think one reason: IF those icons are painted over WHITE (window) color, then they may have broken shadow.

This limitation is because of some complicated matters and is candidate for next [if there is] version.

Please note that some parts from Windows 98 Revolutions for 2000 Revolutions too, for example

Add/Remove programs applet replacement tool

Try and be impressed

Well it's not white; off-white, but not actual white. However, that does appear to be the issue, as per the attached picture - if I change to, say, Slate colour scheme or anything similarly darker, it's no longer there.

I've seen the Add/Remove Programs previously and quite like it, but I haven't noticed anywhere whether there's any way to make it replace the standard one automatically? That would be nice - currently I'm using Safarp which adds a control panel item, and then disabling the original one in tweakui, which i presume should be possible with this as well.

Good news boys and girls!

Hi again, the Windows 2000 Revolutions Pack 2.0 will need the W2K English? or the language will be neutral?

PS:Again, sorry, my bad english.

[Tihiy]

Revolutions Pack for Windows 2000 is designed to be language neutral. This is goal for all versions.

In fact, 2.0 is ready BUT! There is file replace issue. It fails to replace system file even if I specify to do this before startup

It works if started in Safe Mode, but it is not comfortable. I'll release it after finding way ASAP.

Have you tried Replacer?

[Dave.Net]

Any chance of a manual-replacement version?

[Tihiy]

hi tihiy, testting it for you tonight...

I've written what's changed.

You'll have to write installer routines for rpl2k.dll now yourself, or use my installer.

and once again i ask you, why not team up?

Where's screenshot i've been asking for?

[damian666]

ok thats fair enough...

well i have some here but they are for someone so they contain comment and stuff.

but they are clear enough...

so here

This is with my vistapack applied!

i use your rpl2k.dll for the icons, great fix btw!

i also use wildbill's tclock, but it has to many bugs to use all the time

but im sure it will get better!

so now want to make a f*cking nice pack for 2000?

please let me know man.

oh and a question, new installer routines?

cant i just regsvr it anymore?
