Hi. Anybody know how can I convert those green animations of copy, move and delete animations to blue for XP, just like the ones on Aero Diamond from Mr. R0UNDER (Link). I tried to reshack them in the Aero Diamond theme but with no luck, I guess they will appear only when using Vista, wich I don't like, hehe. I just would like to match my whole blue desktop. Thanks.

Greetings. I've been releasing some designs hopping to find comments to make them better in order to use them on my last XP CD. All the PNGs are fully customizable. I used Fireworks with Eye Candy 4000, Impact and IconWorkshop. Please, let me know what could I change, any ideas are very welcome.

Greetings. Finally, this is the second version of those pesky icons of mine. There are 187 PNGs in total on the whole pack (3 parts). I'm not using the standard 256 * 256 px format in many designs because any icon maker software can convert them easily to the right sizes automatically. Where applicable, you will find that the PNGs have layers, making easy for anyone to modify colors and stuff like that. If you compare them to the first ones on my gallery, you may think many are exactly the same, well, they are not. Subtle variations you will find; some noise, blurry surfaces, etc... It took me many days and a lot of effort to complete the collection, so please, be gentle …

Hey, is there anybody out there who knows if it is possible to make these 3 Vista (like) Move, Copy and Delete AVI's for XP into a smaller size? Download Move.avi (3.48 MB) Copy.avi (2.01 MB) Delete.avi (2.93 MB) The reason I need them to be a little smaller is when I add them to XP's shell32.dll they cause a error (user32.dll relocated in memory bla bla) This is caused by shell32.dll being too big, so to fix it I would need them to be compressed to AVI a tad better So if anybody can take them and recode them (even if it only shrinks them a few kilobites) I would be grateful

i need the boot screen in the photo plz

Hello everybody. I have been trying to find the resources to modify the above. Does any one on Wincert know where they are located or even if they can be modified. All help and advice is much appreciated. Edit : I thought I would leave it a while before checking back and it's been three days now with out even a suggestion. Should this be posted else where on the forum? for example the nlite section and if so could a mod please move.
