  1. Or add TWO hyphens instead... http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/0--/?do=findComment&comment=1131594 What? And deprive users of the emotion of having to continuosly adapt to randomly changing rules? Never!

  2. remember when they started making it so you had to hit the function key (fn) before you could use the normal functions that used to drive me nuts. I prefer real normal keys if I still had my old ibm keyboard I would use it. I like the nose it made when you pressed and released the keys also it could take a beating lol.

  3. According to the pictures I just saw on the web, that band where the function keys used to be appears to actually be some kind of touch display, whose functions can be changed (sequentially by touch or through software - dunno). So it may be able to display smileys, media functions, progressbars and even… the good ol' function keys and act accordingly on touch. MacBook Pro 2016 touch bar

  4. A Macbook Pro it's not a good choice of buying a new, shiny computer. Some days ago Apple presented the new laptop with the touch bar which replaced (and physically removed!) the ESC button and the function keys (F1, F2, etc.). And the new laptop also don't have any USB-A port, throwing 20 years of compatibility out of the window because they say so! That's even worse than removing the Start button in Windows 8, because that was a modification at software level and this is a modification at hardware level, and yet, there are many people still appraising Apple. So they will be ok when Apple will remove the physical keyboard from their computers? That's why IT is going downhill these days!

  6. @Jumper: which gcc you use? it reject def the way you use and you can delete the attachment you made like dencorso said. I *missed* the bin icon previously, since I always turned off the JS and images (only turn JS on to upload) @svyatPro: I already answer that in PM. You do it your way, you have to find your way then (it silly when you report the issue to me when you don't use it the way XomPie are made), no need to re-explain here... msi installer for xompie: I know most of you know how to hackaround msi file, but it shouldn't hurt to have a little helper I patched wine msi.dll so it will report versionNT as 601 (Win7) instead of 501. I'm aware that this is not the only way to check OS version e.g. CustomAction (CA dll). Also it may useless against bootstrapped msi. But hey its better than nothing. To install copy dll and exe into somewhere within %PATH% lookup, optionally install the cmd helper to your SendTo (just in case.. xomuninstall is included) as always NO system files modified NO registry modified, keep it PNP (PatchNPray) EDIT: Additionaly msi.dll's DllRegister entry is removed to prevent unintentional self-registering, this way Wine's msi kept out from system. FYI the patch is at dlls\msi\package.c: verval = OSVersion.dwMinorVersion + OSVersion.dwMajorVersion * 100; into verval = OSVersion.dwMinorVersion + 6.0 * 100; winemsi.7z

  7. I can't manage how to fix Menu bar in Photoshop CC 2015. Here is my binaries, but they are only for Windows Server 2003 SP2. http://rgho.st/6hzbJ96pH You can directly put all these files into your System32 but I don't give any warranty it will work on your configuration!! So backup your original kernel32.dll;advapi32.dll;shell32.dll;user32.dll;psapi.dll;version.dll;ws2_32.dll;msvcrt.dll I get this when I click on menu bar:

  9. I read volumes into that comment. And I agree. Fad development, dumbing systems down to thunderous applause by the masses, who have no business guiding the direction of technical progress. Whether that bar could possibly ever be useful in a Windows installation on the device is the question. I suspect not, at least not for quite a while until someone does some serious driver work. Might it light up with Esc and function keys courtesy the BIOS? Who knows, but I doubt it. I wonder how many people understand the night and day difference between a set of physical keys that could be programmed and a touch panel that has no tactile feedback whatsoever. Now, a keyboard where the keycaps could be programmed (or not) with alternate graphics... THAT would be pretty cool (not to mention visible in the dark). -Noel Is it just me, or does the portrayed maturity level of the girl pictured in Drugwash's quoted image above seem right in line with that row of smileys?

  11. Feedback on UxTSB being loaded by DWMGlass.dll on my Win 10 VM: The system boots normally, Aero Glass displays debug window and watermark, as expected, to indicate 1.5.1.738 DEBUG is being loaded. The Aero7 theme I have chosen is working. Everything looks good and controls have the appropriate visual styles (e.g. rounded button corners). As expected, the "loading DLLs for all applications through AppInit_DLLs) warning is no longer logged at bootup. Both 32 bit and 64 bit applications all have the expected theme-based visual styles. Aero Glass for Win 8+ seems to work as expected. Translucency is good, colors are as expected. I tried both with and without ModernFrame-x64-Debug.dll registered. Functionality seems equivalent in both cases. Ribbon-enabled Explorer titles are colored (white in my case) and with expected backing. The backing/glow seems a little taller than on other windows. Ribbon-enabled WordPad window titles and ModernFrame windows NO LONGER have colored titles or backing. From the sound of things, this is intentional. For me this only really matters when the window is not current, as the title text is white normally anyway when they are current. I could live with it. It all seems to work - nice job Big Muscle! Something's apparently different between my test setup and UCyborg's regarding the Explorer crashes... I'm just not seeing them. Should I be doing anything in particular? Just logging-off or rebooting via the ClassicShell start menu isn't yielding any failures. -Noel

  12. Here are the most important things Microsoft announced at today’s Windows 10 Creators Update event So, dear Microsoft, can I design a 3D convex Taskbar to replace the flat boring one that you put in Windows 10? --JorgeA

  13. And from my testing, just restarting explorer.exe is enough for caption color change to take effect for ribbon windows. Rebooting whole PC for such thing is so 1996.

  14. I think it's a very good theory. I mean lets face it, despite looking almost the same and acting the same, 9x and NT are two completely different beasts from each other with different inter-workings. It's surprising that Windows 2000 can even game these days unlike when it was originally released even though it had the capability for DirectX unlike it's NT4 predecessor, it seems around SP3 and especially SP4 things changed where it would allow more games and whatnot to work on it. In the case of High Stakes, despite a patch being available for it, straight out of the box it HATES NTFS drives and therefor a warning would pop up each time you started the game saying there was 1MB or less drive space and even though it didn't specifically say so, that would mean your game progress would not be saved even if it appears to in the game itself. When you'd go to start it back up, the progress from last time would be lost.

  15. Thanks, jaclaz, I think I found the culprit in Pale Moon's case: the Encrypted Web add-on (fork of HTTPS Everywhere). I've noticed that one of the images not showing up in the topic you linked to above had an address like i85.photobucket.com but in my browser's statusbar there was an s85.photobucket.com stalling the page. This sparked the idea that a HTTP address was being forced to a HTTPS that cannot be served/doesn't exist on that server. So I pulled down the Encrypted Web's menu and disabled it for the Photobucket domain. Upon reload, page loaded succesfully, including the image. Most likely Firefox users would have to do the same in HTTPS Everywhere or whatever similar add-on/extension they might have. Sorry, Tripredacus, for wasting your time - all this extra security that we're being scared into adopting sometimes leads to such issues.
