Thanks for explaining where the extra tab comes from, Amnesia! I wouldn't have figured it out!

Bober: I did some research and realized something.... The boot screen image I posted is 24-bit. The logo needs to be 16-color. Reducing the image to 16 colors yields something very UGLY! So replacing the bootscreen with this is not realistic. Bummer.... :thumbsdown_anim: :crying_anim02: Link for Windows 7 boot screens for XP: http://www.askvg.com/download-windows-7-bo...for-windows-xp/ JBE: I like some of the other screenies, but they are all contaminated by the "Microsoft Vista Ultimate Edition" wording.... Even if they weren't, I still couldn't use them for the boot screen. Now, the logon screen, sure! But not the boot screen. Everybody: During my testing, the boot screen resource files got moved/deleted. I forgot to re-include the boot screen resource files in the package, so the boot screen won't be patched through the GUI yet. Next version, definitely!

I was looking on the net for something and found this. Is there any chance we could get something like this for the boot screen? Also, I was looking through the control panel applets and saw this: Isn't there supposed to be a graphic on the left-side? The other tab looks correct....

What's New in GUI version 1.1: - The ability to patch a Live System is now included! - Modified code so that sections needing patching will be built automatically! - Page 2 is now available (selection between Integration and Normal Install) - Page 3 is now 2 pages, one specifically for each mode. - Updated resources to match batch v1.1. - Included new XPSP1RES.DLL and APPMGR.DLL resources, found in post #1004. - Included resources with updated icons, found in post #1006. - Included new MSC files, found in post #1024. What Is Still Not Done: - Repatcher has not been written yet. - Uninstaller has not been written yet. - More error checking still needs to be written into the code. - Component selection code has not written (Is necessary for Repatcher!) - No shortcuts at this point.... - Additional software is not installed via Live Patch mode. I've spent a good portion of my weekend trying to get the Live Patching code working correctly. It appears to be functional. I've run it on my system and it works for me. Please test it and let me know if you find anything that needs work! Thanks, everybody! Download Page

Hi, y'all! I've been working on the live patching code for this project. It's proving to be more difficult than I thought.... But I do have some limited success with patching a live system! YAY! After many attempts to get the thing working, I've noticed a lot of icon changes as well as some dialog box changes. However, the logon screen got changed correctly during the shutdown but went back to XP standard after the reboot, so obviously I've still got some work to do. Just thought y'all might be interested.... EDIT: I won't release the v1.1 of the GUI until I get the live patching code figured out. It may be awhile....

A problem was reported where the drive icons weren't being assigned correctly. I have fixed the code yesterday, but wasn't able to upload the corrected version. I was testing some new code and apparently removed the new code PLUS the code writing the registry values! DOH! I will upload later today. I'm sorry about this! What's Changed in v5.2.7.5: - Fixed above mentioned issue....

What's Changed in v5.2.7.4: - Updated Italian language file, courtsey of softinformatica! - Code fixed so that daily update checking doesn't trigger empty update box.

Updated Italian language file available via Updates menu thingy. Thanks, softinformatica!

I've released GUI Beta 21a. Drive Space Indicator has been updated to latest version (v5.2.7.3). New code has been added to change Task Manager's graphs to the blue color. According to Bober, this is something that is not possible to change via the resource files. Please try it out and let me know what you think of the CURRENT version! Also let me know of any bugs you come across! Thanks! Side-Note: For a list of everything that's changed in DSI, please look here for more information on the versions. EDIT: If you want to report bugs about DSI, please post about them at my RyanVM thread or my WinCert thread so I can properly address them.

What's Changed in v5.2.7.3: - Modified About box to address font size problem. Sorry, I meant v5.2.7.2, not .4! I've corrected the last post.

What's Changed in v5.2.7.2: - Fixed a "Variable not declared" bug in the code. mona: You're welcome.

What's Changed in v5.2.7.1: - Updated VistaBlack Icon Theme, courtsey of bjfrog @ WinCert. bjfrog: Spiffy! The updated version is now available via the Updates menu.

What's Changed in v5.2.7.0: - Added VistaBlack Icon Theme, courtsey of bjfrog! - Modified update code so that other updates aren't available when SFX update is available. - Modified GUI so that Icon Text is smaller if "Small_Text" in Language's Info section is set to Y. ========================================== Qwesta: Have you checked the menu options again to verify that they work? MrNxDmX: I quite agree.

I've got it. :thumbsup_anim: Wow! I just looked at it in the Preview tab and I like! Really, Really Like! I'll add it to the package. EDIT: One problem with the Icon Theme.... the Removable drive icons should look different from the regular hard drive icons. Is there any way you could fix that? ABOUT 12 HRS LATER: Found a bug in the update code, where it won't show or download available Icon Themes. I will try to fix it later today.... ANOTHER 12 HRS: Nope, no bug in code, website is case-sensintive.... error was in Version.txt....

What's Changed in v5.2.6.1: - Fixed code that apparently reloaded Icon Theme list before GUI is shown. - Modified installer so that files that don't exist get copied to their respective folders.

What's Changed in v5.2.6.0: - Installer checks language file versions to ensure latest version isn't overwritten with earlier version. - Updated Italian language file, courtsey of SoftInformatica. - Uncommented line responsible for opening GUI if another process is present.

What's Changed in v5.2.5.2: - "Install Complete" page modified so that all text is seen correctly. - Code for "Visit Support" & "On The Web" features rewritten to support different default browsers. - Added "Main_10" to language file for "No Internet Browser" message. What's Changed in v5.2.5.3: - Reversion of code modification for Preview tab.

What's Changed in v5.2.5.0: - Fixed blank "Uninstall Complete" message. - Fixed issue where selecting "Delete Icons on Program Exit" unchecks/checks "Start with Windows" in menu. - Fixed minor issue where complete link was stored in array for update function. - Fixed minor issue with edit controls on Install page 3 (Install Path) and 5 (Shortcut Path). - Added code to try to make icons appear on Icon Theme tab on x64 systems. Everybody: Oh, I forgot to tell y'all. I've updated my web site to make sure everything is correct, such as screenshots, FAQs, etc, etc. I have also modified the rebuilding script so that the updates file, the main page of my web site, and the first post in both the RyanVM and WinCert threads are all updated by the script. So, it should be easier not only to download the updates as they become available, but to use my web site as well. ============================================================ What's Changed in v5.2.5.1: - Fixed edit fields in Installer Page 3 and 5.

What's Changed in v5.2.4.0: - Fixed situation where opened window can't be closed by program if another subwindow is opened. - Made sure Serbian language file v5.1.x.x and older is deleted at install. - Fixed program's formatting string function so that "%s2" actually works to swap the two parameters passed. - Timer interval between updates changed to 1.5 seconds instead of immediately upon device insert/removal. Qwesta: I'll look into these issues. EDIT: I can verify that "Start with Windows" menu option works. The "Delete icons on program exit" checks/unchecks the "Start with Windows" option in the menu. The "Show Program Icon" and "Use Icon in Icon Theme" options work as designed. Also the "Check for Updates Daily" checkbox works as designed. None of the above mentioned options prompt for confirmation when selected, though. I've fixed the problem functions and these fixes will be available in the next release.

:sweatingbullets: Y'all sure have had a lot of discussion since I left! :thumbsup_anim: I've read many of the posts since my last post and, I'm like, wow, y'all done a lot of work to this project! I'm impressed (and amazed!) I've posted GUI beta 21. I've updated resources to match batch beta 21, and I've added some code to dynamically build the list of files to patch based on the files in the source folder. This will allow us to add files to the main group of files to edit without having to edit the INI file every time. I've also updated the changelog for the GUI on my website, as well as fixed a bunch of other stuff. I'll include the latest Drive Space Indicator in the next release.

What's Changed in v5.2.3.1: - SFX "GUIMode" issue has been corrected. - Fixed update issue where language file wasn't listed for updating like it should of. - Serbian language has been removed from the addon INF. =============================================== bjfrog and qwesta: Thanks for the bug reports. I've fixed those issues. Sorry about that. bjfrog: I'm sorry. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "hope more skin thanks"....

What's Changed in v5.2.2.2: - Minor change in code to fix the update downloading/installing code. (Incomplete) - Updated Czech language file, courtsey of khagaroth. What's Changed in v5.2.3.0: - Update code fixed. Another function resized the updates array before the script could use the contents..... - String formatting code modified so that using "%s2" in the string specifies using second string first. This update cannot be downloaded using v5.2.0.0, v5.2.1.0, or v5.2.2.x because of the above mentioned problems with the update code.

What's Changed in v5.2.2.0: - Reverted back to previous version of AutoIt - Should take care of Exception problem. - Icons don't have box around them anymore. - Czech language file has been updated, courtsey of khagaroth. - Polish language file has been updated, courtsey of RedWine. - French language file has been updated, courtsey of Bober101. - New strings INST_4B and INST_4C resolve the issue RedWine found. - New Silent installer (basically SFX installer with /SILENT instead of /INSTALL switcH) What's Changed in v5.2.2.1: - Fixed language string issue found by RedWine. Note: All language updates available in v5.2.2.0 are available by way of the update functionality in the program. UPDATE 11/28: Update code in v5.2.2.x doesn't work.

Thanks a lot. I've been meaning to update this thread again.... Yep. Lots of changes in the language file, specifically lots of new strings. Info on the multiple-plural thingy is here, if you need it. (I sent you a PM about the language file on the RyanVM forums, if it helps....) Nope. The program opens whatever link is specified, so it will be fine.

Ok! I think version 5.2.0.0 is ready to go. So, without further ado, here it is: What's Changed with Version 5.2.0.0: - GUI has been reorganized. - Most non-drive options moved to menu bar. - Language file format completely reorganized with MANY NEW strings! - Ability to browse to both RyanVM and WinCert forum threads. - Ability to open browser to contact language translators. - Multiple-plural language situations now able to be dealt with. - About and Special Thanks now have their own dialog box and are localizable. - New "60 minutes" update interval available. - New "Never" update interval available (1,000,000 minutes = approx. every 2 years) - Update code changed so that new language releases won't interfere with older versions. - Serbian language translation was removed, as conversion script screwed it up BAD! - New Inno-like installer written from the ground up. - New uninstaller written from the ground up. Decision changes that I've made: - New versions will be labeled v5.2.n.0, not v5.2.0.n (where n is the next release number). - The last digit will be reserved for minor revisions, such as language or theme updates. - The last digit will also be used to beta test code changes before releasing to general public. - Old language versions (anything prior to v5.2.0.0) won't be supported anymore. - I will be working to remove 24x24 icons from each theme, as I can't find standard icons that also use that resolution. ====================================== What's Changed in v5.2.1.0: - Fixed out-of-bounds error issue when script is paused. - Fixed undefined variable error issue when user switches languages. - Added COM error handler to script to try to get exception thingy to go away... Side Note: Anyone notice that in v5.2.0.0, you can double-click on the tray icon and the GUI pops up....... (?)
