Dave.Net Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Cool. I loved NT 4. This would look much better with the shell update installed, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awergh Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 do you mean the ie4 shell update, well i havent aimed it at that but i could do that, i just thought most people avoided web intergration in nt4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marxo Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I've managed to destroy those stupid 16 colour icons and the patch is at http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=97315Working on 32-bit icons support... Enjoy in patch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOFH Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 it doesn't look like a "Visual Update", it just looks like a poorly ripped set of XP resources on an old older OS.U cannot say something like that... Man tries and works and those icons are not poorly ripped it the OS that doesn't have 32-bit icon support... So u should do something first other then remembering Windows Neptune....Cry?

prx984 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Nice effort, but you fail.Just reminds me of those Calmira things for Windows 3.1.I might give this a go at some point, if I can find a copy of NT4 lying around.That's a really encouraging thing to say. awergh, good job on this. Keep up the good work on it man. Glad to see someone is finally shifting focus to Windows NT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Well no offence but it doesn't look like a "Visual Update", it just looks like a poorly ripped set of XP resources on an old older OS. The icons don't match the window appearance, neither do the replacement dialog resources, etc. Everything just looks jumbled and mis-matched like Windows Neptune.Nice effort, but needs a more discerning eye to pull something like this off.Cry?If you'd like to provide something constructive to this conversation, like being that "discerning eye" to add value, please do (I'm sure help on this project isn't frowned upon).

no1none Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) awergh, don't get discouraged by those who only know how to criticize others (but don't know s*** about doing anything themselves hehe).Youre doing great job from what I see on your screencaps, and even though I'm not XP or Vista icons fan, I do appreciate the fact you at least try to DO IT.PSIm trying to solve 'the riddle' of high color icons that most of the time disappear after shell update (I reinstalled quite few times NT4 on the same test machine, installed SP6 /postSP6/drivers/and did few settings and 9 out of 10 I loose the original high color icons when installing IE6 with shell update, but few times somehow they stayed there after shell update and its driving me nuts not to know what causes this )Maybe you know anything about it?
