zedox Posted April 5, 2007 Author Posted April 5, 2007 The next release will be available very soon.Will be independent of XPize and have all the features that XPize has...
CBC Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 excellent!Very much looking forward to your "stand alone" version. I'm currently using the FlyakiteOXS, which I like a lot, butthe main draw of it is the RK launcher. I love the dark themes of yours, so will be switching to it, & using Rocket Dock instead.

Gumbyx84 Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) Great job on this. I have been wanting to get a totally black windows setup for a while now. Will def keep my eye on this. One problem I seem to be having is with a few of the re-colored windows/panels, like the shutdown menu (w/ the Standby, Shut Down, and Restart buttons) and Add Hardware. It seems like the XPize auto-reloader is reloading over the Darkside-modded files. Should I be shutting off the XPize auto-reloader, or should they be playing nicely with each other (as I have heard)? Or should I just wait till the "standalone" version is released? If it helps any, I am running Windows XP Media Center. I will grab a pic of the problem tomorrow, as right now its past midnight and I have to work in the morn. Thanks ahead of time for the help.

Kiki Burgh Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) wow a final! thanks! btw, would there be switches that we can use already to slipstream this after slipstreaming xpize? Edited April 11, 2007 by Kiki Burgh
papashex Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) I cannot resist the power of the darkside!In fact, I can never leave it. The darkside package prevents my system from shutting down. It hangs on the "windows is shutting down" screen. Is this a manifestation of the reloader contention mentioned elsewhere? I do not have the reload at startup option enabled so I would not expect that issue to occur.Standard XPize works ok, but I am tired of blue. I've had me some black and can't go back.

zedox Posted April 11, 2007 Author Posted April 11, 2007 Just out of interest can you try uninstaller xpize darkside... does the issue still occur?Also, if it doesn't could you try reinstalling but de-select the logon screen.Cheers
tygr13 Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 It looks awsome however can someone tell me how to get this to work. I have XPize installed but dont know how to get the darkside to work.
papashex Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Just out of interest can you try uninstaller xpize darkside... does the issue still occur?Also, if it doesn't could you try reinstalling but de-select the logon screen.I have uninstalled darkside only, leaving original xpize install intact. All is well, I can shut down normally. I am not at the system right now, but I will re-install darkside without boot screen and let you know how it goes (this evening).
