villiansv Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Very nice, thanks for this. Hopefully it'll see an update (mainly a bootscreen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakByte Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Very nice, thanks for this. Hopefully it'll see an update (mainly a bootscreen). That would be wicked. I'm still using this pack.. I like the oldschool look ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigosity Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Very nice, thanks for this. Hopefully it'll see an update (mainly a bootscreen).Indeed, that was one of the main things I'm working on. It needs some tweaks though, to make things as close to 2000y as possible - i.e., to get the caterpillar bar at the bottom where w2k has its progress bar, I'd have to do some hex editing that'd be hard to reproduce reliably.

capoguy Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) a few years ago i was searching for this thing, now i axidently found it, great. I use Whistler build 2250's Professional theme, whith this patch it totally rocks!! BUG REPORT: had to use original movie maker file from backup, because it gave an error - didn't find transitions & effects Edited May 30, 2007 by capoguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Blue01 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 There are a handful of boot screen making programs that will let you move the progressbar whereever you want it, and remember it doesn't have to be a catipiller its just a bitmap!

koffeejv Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 how about Windows 98 icons for XP, any shell patcher for that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Blue01 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Windows 2000, NT4, ME, 98, 95 had almost the same icons. I agree a 98 and a 95 version would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vertigosity Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 I've spun up a quick release, no changes aside from the filepicker dialogs on SP3. Honestly, I'm kinda curious to know how many people still use this - as SP3 is likely to be the last new comctl32.dll for XP/2003, unless there's some kind of feature request, this is quite likely the last update this'll ever get.

cooky560 Veteran Posted June 30, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 30, 2008 * and if you're a double nutty lunatic, disable the User Accounts control panel and add an entry that starts Control Userpasswords2 How do you do that?!? That's brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigosity Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 How do you do that?!?

acedriver Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 probably the Change/Remove text, it should be buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin10018 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 probably the Change/Remove text, it should be buttons That's not a problem with the patcher, that's a problem with not properly installed/uninstalled programs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooky560 Veteran Posted July 12, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 12, 2008 it also occurs with the buttons on the side of the dialog, and every installed program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigosity Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 Does it go away if you uninstall the pack? I'm not sure what it could modify that would visually break things as much as you're describing and still leave a (mostly?) functional system...

cooky560 Veteran Posted July 13, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 13, 2008 it goes away if I don't use Windows Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
