hey sharer, could you share (lol) that theme please? :)

jaja. alakul. csak az ikonok nem kelleneének oda. :d vagy ha neked kellenek, akkor legalább én kicserélném őket valami kevésbé színes egyen ikonra. de persze ez csak tanács, hiszen a te desked.

mitmondasz? alakul? :)
http://sharer.p8.hu/untitled2.jpg

heh,. :) pont egy ilyen / ilyesmi style nekem is van/volt. régen amikor még kísérletezgettem, akkor csinátam egy ilyesmit is. lehet még megvan valahol.

szeva. ilyenre sikerült egyellőre az én saját témám + amit innét letöltöttem)
http://sharer.p8.hu/untitled.jpg

az egy részt nincs kész, mivel én nem használom azt a böszme nagy start menüt (eeew), szóval az a része nincs is befejezve. + e-miatt nem is elérhető sehol ez a vs. meg igazából az magamnak készült, szóval bocs, de azt nem adom. így marad egyedi az én deskem. :)

egyetlen egy valakinek adtam oda, de ő neki is azért mert, azt mondta készít belőle egy "változatot", de azóta sem jelentkezett. :(

des(668):
bocs én tévedtem, én az msstylodra gondoltam, ha lehetséges, de ha nem azsem baj)

hat itt van az oldalon is, több változatban. de amit én is használok, az ez: only details bottom taskpanel version 1

http://des.virtualplastic.net/downloads/shellstyle_details.zip
http://des.virtualplastic.net/mods.html#iconlessbottom

nincskedved megosztani velem a shellstylod? mertén már 1 ideje szenvedek eggyel de asszem jövő ilyenkorra megis csinálnám ha lenne annyi türelmem :d

igen. pontosan. :) minden dll, exe meg beállítás szépen el van rakva.
bár nálam egy windows amúgy is sokáig kitart. nem gányolom össze, mint egyesek.

persze ez a módszer megkövetel egyfajta kompromisszumot. e-miatt az updatek, frissítések tiltva vannak. de jól megvagyok nélkülük.

és mikor windows csere van csak replaceled a dlleket stb, registry és megvan ujból a saját kinézet. nagyon ok az egéssz, minden elismerés)

sima uxtheme hacket használok. (uxtheme.dll csere) szóval téma kezelő progi nincsen, mint pl a stylexp.

szóval nálam alapból van egy visualstyle (msstyle file), amit én csináltam egy már meglévőből. könnyebb így, mint az elejéről kezdeni az egészet. nagyjából ezzel a kinézet már adott, ehhez jöttek a különböző hackek, beállítások, hogy összhangban legyen minden. pl ikonok tiltása és törlése. (kivéve a tray ikonok), dialógusok kicsinyítése, stb. aztán az asztalon egy html fut, tele sok scripttel, szóval ikonok helyett úgy tudok programot indítani, mint ha egy weboldalon klikkelgetnék. igazából így sok dolgot meglehetne csinálni, animációk, effektek, mozgások, egyebek, de én ugye a minimalizmust itt is alkalmaztam, tehát semmi effekt a mouseover színváltáson kivül. :)

röviden ennyi. persze ez sok munka volt.

igazából az enyémtől vannak sokkal jobban kinéző desktopok, csak azok más technikával készültek. pl lite step, meg egyéb külső shellel, meg egy rakás más programmal. én meg inkább belülről alakítottam át az egészet. csak ebben különleges az én deskem. tehát hogy ezt mind tudja az xp alapból, amit látni lehet. igaz, rásegítéssel. :)

szerintem én is... nemtudom megosztanád e velem azt az infót hogy használsz e valamien windows téma felüiró külső programot? vagy hogy alakítottad át ennyire az xp-det? mert nagyon bejön, ha semmien külső program nemkell hozzá h fusson, mert szeretem ha minnél kevesebb program, vagy service fut a háttérben)

win xp pro. szerintem még évekig ezt fogom.

most mit használsz? win7?

sharer(659):

tetszik. régebben én is hasonlóra csináltam meg. small caption, meg stb, bár ettől valamivel nagyobb volt nekem annó. (mondjuk én csak eleve 3 oszlopot használok. volume, wave, aux)

it is haxrcorp or standard 07_55 http://www.dafont.com/haxrcorp-s8.font

hello des, your desk is outstanding! could you share your font please... or send me standardcaps@gmail.com thanks.

hi des
thanks for the help. will head over there now and see if i can get it going

jerry hill(653):

you cannot save the file that is already in use. save as it somewhere else (desktop or anywhere) then use replacer to replace the file. http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer

i open syst32.dll and modify the font size.
i use recompile and then try to save the file.
windows says it can not create the new file.
where am i going wrong?
thanks jerry

john(651):

yeah. almost everybody moved on to win7. it is not surprising though. but from my observation ms made win7 even more less customizable in some parts. i mean i hate that big min,max,close buttons too. and cant even put those buttons closer to each other. (i asked a vs maker, and he said it is impossible. i hope there will be a hack for that later.)

see what i mean: http://i45.tinypic.com/25s1ic3.png - this can't be done because the ini file that we knew from xp is missing from win7 visualstyles. you know the padding, margin, etc values. i even took a look inside a win7 visualstyle and yes, unfortunately it is missing. there is no ini file inside. nothing but a bunch of bitmaps, png's. :(

i know that, there are a lot of uifiles inside the dlls which fortunately can be customized, and i just hope there is a value for that caption button thing. because i can't stand to look at it. it's ugly, ehh. :\

since i haven't tried win7 yet, just gathering informations ,i could be wrong about things.

hi des, just wanted to say that i moved on to windows 7.

i want to thank you for everything i learned from you and your site, these days i always look at apps/windows in a different way. like "hmm i could remove that..." ^^

anyways i wont tell you to abandon the good old xp, but take a look at 7 once in a while ;).

wish you well /john

merlin(649):

i don't use winrar (used for years back than though) but take a look at this: http://www.respower.com/page_tutorial_unrar

by changing the default command (open) in the registry could work, or combining it with vbscript + regtweak, but i don't know.

another solution, if you rightclick on a rar file, in the winrar sub menu (when cascading menu selected) there is an extract here or something like this.

usually i don't use proxy, only in some special cases. keep searching. :)

hi des,

a) do you know how to shorten the procedure of unzipping files? normally i have to double click a zip-file, my winrar program starts and i have to click again : "unzip in this folder". would it be possible to unzip files without starting this program? just double click on the file?

b) do you know a good american proxy server, so i can watch american videos on you tube. i have been trying some of them but it never worked well.

dokyun(647):

yes, but it is hardcoded into the dll. and i cant add new commands to it. don't forget that, without the source code we can do very limited things only.

i can only change the ones that are already there. in example. if you don't need the help and support center you can use that menu with your exe file by replacing the helpctr.exe. c:\windows\pchealth\helpctr\binaries\

and then if you select the help menu, your program will run.

i thought it would be possible to do so - that's what shell32.dll seems to do anyway.it just points to standalone executables like cleanmgr or dfrg but perhaps i am mistaken ?

think i'll just use the task manager shutdown, thanks though.

dokyun(644):

btw, i am working on a log-off / shutdown screen. it would be something like this: http://des.virtualplastic.net/logonui.png (not exactly)

dokyun(644):

unfortunately no. :(

hello des, i've got a question.

is there anyway to change the destination of the 'log off'/'turn off computer' shortcuts in the start menu ?

say i want it to point it to a third party software like shutoff or so [ i don't like the pallete limitations of the standard dialog].

i thought editing the msgina.dll would work...but i don't seem to understand how to state a program call [ if it's possible at all].

merlin(642):

hehe. i have seen that video before. it was funny in a way. :) (btw i live in the east side of hungary)

some installers could be opened with 7zip.
i found this about nullsoft installer: "currently nsis installers cannot be fully decompiled. the installer itself doesn't provide any method to extract files or the script without installation. it is the developer's choice whether the source code and/or the files for the installer are available to the public or not.

there are, however, external tools that allow this. 7-zip (version 4.40beta at the time of this writing) supports decompressing nsis installers compressed with lzma or bzip, but the source code is still partially compiled and requires extensive modification before the script can be recompiled. a decompression plug-in is also available for totalcommander."

source: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/can_i_decompile_an_existing_installer

hi des,

please have a look at this genius young lady: http://failblog.org/page/5/ in "contestant fail".

amazing! and they still believe they are the greatest nation on this planet! don't make me laugh! (by the way: do you live in bp?)

do you know how to extract a nullsoft installer so i could grab some avi- and ico-files from it? there is a new version of a program which i am not intended to install right now, but i would love to have a look at the updated files.

joshua(640):

try this: http://www.sendspace.com/file/r7htkq
there were some elements in it which ones don't belong there.

hey. i have another web page. what i would like help with is the nav text. for some reason the .css in the html doesnt seem to work, it wont display the style at all. can you have a look at it please?

here is the file

sigma(638):

unfortunately it looks like all the toolbar icons are hardcoded into the exe. :( i hate this type of application. it juts can't be reshacked.

thanks for your help des. i want to change the toolbar icons of "xyplorer". can't find any rcdata or dll's though.

sigma(635):

when you open the exe with reshacker do you see rcdata resource? if yes, the icon or bitmap could be there in encoded format.

sigma(635):

what is that app? maybe it is in a dll not in the exe file.

i want to change some toolbar icons/bitmaps in a explorer like tool, but when i open the .exe with reshack i cant find any icons or bitmaps, any idea how i can accomplish this? thanks for your help!

oh sorry. i get it now.
it could be a string in a dll* and by deleting this string could work, but i don't know.
*in explorer.exe and shell32.dll or somewhere else.

des(632):
...no des...just delete permanently from the tree view in explorer window. look here please: http://www.sendspace.com/file/hfp4j2

...you mean you want to delete / hide this? winkey+r -> shell:controlpanelfolder

hi des, i have solved the winkey+"e" problem!

in order to get rid of control panel from the tree view in windows explorer i used this line in the regitry:

[hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\explorer]

"nosetfolders"=dword:00000001

now i changed this dword value to 0 and my explorer window appears again after hitting winkey +"e"! wooohoooo!! (is there another way to delete the control panel from explorer permanently?)

xp to win7 without 3rd party apps? without apps you will not get win7 like start menu, or win7 like "folder task bar" and so on... with only reshacking and hexediting it is impossible. you could use a win7 visualstyle and some other minor tweaks/hacks to mimic the win7 look a bit. but that is all.

btw for me the win7 design is a step back. some of the changes that they did just looks bad. in example; the min, max, close button is awful. + no classic start menu, only this giant gigantic menu. lol. no active desktop support. ... and more.

oh, i forgot the screenshot: http://i49.tinypic.com/2dt24ht.jpg

i am making progress here.... the difference is caused by the size of the winamp window. "1x" means original size ( 664x272). at this size the processor works is at 40-50%. and when i zoom the window so it fits the desktop, the processor usage rate falls to 20 % immediately. good to know. i have never seen this so obvious before. maybe it's because i normally have the full view option on which means the movie is on the whole desktop.

and in case you decide to customize windows xp to win7-look without any third party applications i would love to join you. (there are so many of those xp into win7-programs on the deviant art - but 95% are just that buggy you would not believe that). what about this idea?

winkey+e problem:
i remember i had this problem once. the solution was to reenable the explore command in regedit. here is a screesnhot of contextedit. (using contextedit is much safer)

if i disable the explore command (by unchecking "explore") i have parameter incorrect error if i use the winkey+e.

processor issue:
was the movie the same? because different videos have differrent video compressions.
more rams will not cause more cpu loads as far as i know.
