    [Release] V'ISO b8.2.2 (Last)

    in Windows Customization

    Posted

    Rhor,

    Good work buddy !!!

    Is that theme a msstyle, if so is it possible for you to link me to it. I like what you have done with winntbbu.dll to bad I use classic installation, the logon looks good I might have to give it a try but I do not like the boot/shutdown dialogs...

    Those are some funky looking icons, did you make them yourself ?

    Thanks

    Thanks for the comments. The theme is a modified version of VistaVG from Mr. Vishal Gupta, and since I haven't asked for his persmission, Im not sure if its correct to share it. And the folder designs are based on the great work of Mr. waiteng86 (DA Gallery). And of course, its easy to change whatever you dont like from the mod, that particular resource its located on shell32 and msgina, under bitmaps (duh!). :)

    Wow Rhor,

    Very nice indeed. :) I'm trying this now on a VM install to test. Looks pretty cool.

    I'm torn between this and Ricks pack. I'm still leaning towards Ricks though since it's more Vista'ish.

    Im glad you liked them. Originally I was using the former version of V'ISO, but since I got momentum in creating the icons from my other post I figured that I could do a little more to match the whole theme. Please, let me know if you find any issues.

    Hi.

    With the permission of Mr. Ricktendo64, I want to share this V'ISO mod I made based on the same kind of designs found in this post.

    Replaced are near to 1200 icons and 140 bitmaps. I erased any watermark, so you wont find any "Made by X" stuff from me.

    The logoff and shutdown texts aren't present, so you wont need to apply the LSpatch. When you select "Thumbnails" as your view of choice in any folder that contains images, you will only see the small previews without any folder design on the back.

    I'm using it now on a live XP installation and I have no problems so far, but if somebody wants to try it, and find some issue, please let me know.

    I hope you like it.

    The reason I asked is because it didn't patch the bootscreen (it did the logon) this time, and I'm now on a laptop with a core duo processor (it's not 64-bit). I don't know if that makes a difference, but I know the bootscreen was not patched. Everything else seemed to have patched just fine.

    Also, while I have your attention, the icons used in Disk Cleanup show up as what I would guess to be 8-bit versions of the icons.

    Sometimes I get that same issue, but try to do what I do, go to your XP CD and look for the files named "NTKRNLMP.EX_" and "NTOSKRNL.EX_", decompress them (both are CAB files, use this: CAB Tool) and then open them with Resource Hacker or similar, look for the first image under "Bitmaps" and check if they have the correct bitmap applied.

    Keep in mind that Windows use 1 of 4 files depending on how much RAM and what kind of CPU your machine has. The other two files that your Windows may be using are "ntkrnlpa.exe" and "ntkrpamp.exe".

    Check the following link, wich contains more info: Link

    And for the Disk Cleanup icon, I couldnt say, I dont even have it on my disc, so I cannot check it.

    I hope it helps in some way.

    Greetings.

    I would like to ask for help.

    Is there any special trick that I have to use in order to change the bitmaps with a fucsia background, like the ones on "appwiz.cpl" (101 to 107)?

    I tried to put a new graphic, set the background color to the very same fucsia tone and when I do the tests, I find always edges around the graphic with that same background color.

    Thank you in advance for the responses you can give.

    [Release] Rhor's PNG Pack version 2

    NP. I know how it is. :ranting: 1000 views, 2 Thanks you's.

    Hehe, yeah, it is like that, but for me the important thing is sharing, if somebody wants to leave a comment, thats a plus. :)

    Is your V'ISO mod cancelled?

    Well, its cancelled for public release because its taking too much time to get it right. For what I can see, I have 600 new PNGs that I have to replace, and from those PNGs I have to make the icons with the right sizes to put them on different resources. Originally this would be my fourth revision of the mod, and Im constantly finding myself changing designs from one PNG or another, and that means I have to update all the resources that contains that same new design. So, as you probably guessed already, Im kinda mentally tired.

    But once finished, if you want, I can show you the mod and see if its worth enough to be released.

    [Release] Rhor's PNG Pack version 2

    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 with your opinions.

    The screenshots are the following:

    I will NOT be releasing the ICO version, instead, Mr. lsdmeasap will upload an IconPackager version of this pack on his Gallery. And, I will not take requests for now, I have to finish some other designs first, but if you need help with anything else that is design related, let me know please, I'm here to help whenever I can.

    Please, for the people who would like to post this pack on some other place, like blogs and sites alike, do it, but let me know as well, I would like to keep an eye on the real gallery traffic.

    By request, you will find the some images to replace the Live Folders and the Data Live Folders on Vista as well.

    The tools I used are the following:

    Fireworks CS3, AlienSkin Impact, Nature and EyeCandy 4000, Filters Unlimited, Page Curl Pro, Axialis IconWorkshop, Restorator 2007 and ColorCop.

    I would like to thank many people who helped, the list is below, and if I forgot somebody, please forgive me, right now I cannot even remember if I ate last night. Also, keep in mind that many designs were created by me, but many others were created by some genious artist (unlike me), so if you, genious artist, find any of your designs in this pack, let me know, so I can remove it by request, or put you on the list of appreciation.

    Thanks and Kudos to the following people who helped me to create this damn pack:

    Mr. lsdmeasap (Link)

    Mr. waiteng86 (Link) (His incredible work made me do all this)

    Mr. Guesswho at JoeJoe's

    Mr. Marcolino at JoeJoe's

    Mr. Kudesnick at JoeJoe's too

    And many other people here on DeviantArt, that really deserve the title of "Artist".

    I really really really hope you like this pack, as I said before, it took me a lot of effort, pringles, oreos, marlboros, gatorades and beers...

    Thank you kindly for the visit, I will be sleeping now for the next 3 days.

    My Gallery at DA.

    [Release] Glossy Folders and Icons.

    in Windows Customization

    Posted

    your system files and media files icons are really dark, so they only blend with dark skins/themes. Can you make them brighter?

    The other icons are pretty nice. I like them.

    Thanks so much for the comments, thats exactly why I posted them.

    I wanted to mark a difference from file type to file type using colors on the backgrounds (besides the describing logo itself), and I didnt think about other people using a lighter theme than the one I do use, wich is a modified version of Mr. Vishal Gupta's VistaVG, a excellent dark theme by itself.

    But I will change them to something brigther and I will post them again. Thanks so much for your comments.

    Nice icons. Yeah they are a little dark, also if you are trying to make a complete set, I suggest trying to make them match better, some are darker than others etc.

    That was the initial idea, make some darker than others to make a difference among file types, but Im not happy with the tones I got, and the funny thing is that the one I liked the most was the darkest background, hehe. But thanks for pointing that out, I will try to find better tones, and if you can help me with that, it would be amazing!.

    You have been very helpful, I appreciate that.

    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.
