I released a vista-like webview for my windows ME system.
I used FSRESULT.HTT (located in C:\windows\web\): this template is used by search results page on win ME.
I need help with HTML to locate the webview at the bottom of the windows: can someone help me (tihy or Max for Exemple).
This is my windows explorer (it's not a fake):

I also created a Vista-like Webview:

I got something like that in 1st post for my project but I wasn't lucky to get it all done... I might use help for Lupus project if you would like to join..

Very nice! Can this be done on win98se? It's great!

Thanks Marxo!
To test my webvien on Win98 (i don't know if it Works!!!):
1) Create a backup copy of c:\windows\web\folder.htt;
2) download the attached zip file
3) extract the archive in C:\windows\Web\ (replace folder.htt)
4) press F5
5) Enjoy!

NoNameneeded, cold you post your webview? I like it very much!

1: Make a copy of the file folder.htt (That's the original webview you get to see in almost every folder), you can find it in Windows/Web
2. Extract all these files to Windows/Web

(3. You can delete ac.exe and forget about the german "Lies Mich" Text, it's only needed for WinXP)

If you don't want this Vista-look Webview anymore just delete the folder.htt and rename the old one (that you made a copy of before) back to the original name (folder.htt).

Thanx!!!!!! Thanx!!!!!!!!! It's EXCELLENT!!! Oau!!! You are the best! Thanx again!
I have made my self a vista like webview...and i'm wondering how to rezolve the minimize issue...because the images are one on top other.

My problem:

Is this my (modified) Webview?

I know the problem but I don't know a solution.

If you don't mind I would continue modifying you've built...

I have the same problem...

My webview is less attractive, but is based on original microsoft html code ergo:
- stable (no graphicals artifacts)
- adaptive: the fsresult.htt show more information on file (for example "author" in microsoft office file)
- image/html preview: when you select an image, fsresult.htt show a thumbnail


Is it possible to merge the proprieties of fsresult.htt with nonameneed's webview?

Yes i modified your webview if u don't mind and i thing i've solved the problem.

Yes it's possible! Can you please share your fsresult.htt.

Can you guys please post downloads for the stuff... I need as much material I get....

That would be great and I'm actually quite sure that this is possible but I just don't know how.

My webview is based on a htt file I once found but unfortunately there are no details, no picture preview etc. displayed.

I also tried to modify an orignal folder.htt (from Win98) to make it look like Vista but I didn't get far.

Yes, you avoided the problem by putting the links section on top of the window but it doesn't look like Vista anymore (it still looks good, though).

Me too guys..... !!! Attention: it's importat the rezolution u are using this was made on 800x600. Until then here is my stuff

Well basically all of these need lot of work to completely work but I am willing to try...

About the sizing problem, it's all about sizing from folder.htt the main window and the other two images. Another way i can't thing about.

I've included links in this webview. Nice and quick! Look down:MSFN and the other links to some sites.

I was thinking that others will derivate from xelionxel's WebView since it is vistaish and there is not sizing problem....

In my opinion the "favorites link" pane introduced by Vista is a revisited clone of "favorites bar" introduced with win98/ME and XP: is not necessary to include this in a webview (for me).

Alternative solution (hard To implementing! tihiy were are you?):
- hacking the status bar in windows explorer; it coul be the best solution: the info panel in Vista is a status bar replacement.

Marxo, i find this, coul be useful:
http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/wv_fld.html

It's surely not necessary but it looks more vista-ish and it looks more integrated than two separate panes.

heh... I already read that... tnx anyway others will use it...

That will be nice......
Anyway....Xelionxel can you make your vista like webview for win98se? Thanx....

Another step.... The win98se edition of vista webview. In the future i will try to incorporate the thumbnail view and other stuff.

Can you upload that one? I wanna test...

Of course but it's in project state....so not many features available....And the language it's a little bit differnet than xelionxel's. Here it is:

Hi Xstyle
1) My webview is based on microsoft code for windows Me...win98 is not 100% compatible with that code...sorry;
2) i'm testing some stuff for Windows Me and 98 (i hope)...
3) request: could you move the info panel down to obtain a more vista-like apparence?

I found this http://jegview.free.fr : is fantastic but is not similar to vista. Marxo: can you obtain something from this (for example: the image preview windows?).

Well, i got inspiration and I finally made something worthy of posting...
Image is now repeated when you resize so there is no crop bug, i cleaned the code a bit to lose the parts that aren't necessary and I made a bitmap (looks nice but it is yet just a test one it will look way better).
I would like to find a font that isn't that ugly (since there is no ClearType in Win98) as Segoe UI. Tahoma looks so lame and others are not so OOB. I guess i should try Calibri or maybe Myriad Pro or something like that...
Have a look...

1) Now i know after severall tests
2) Let's see the stuff
3) Here it is (with improvements)

Hmmm.... I thinc i'm stuck for the moment.... i can't implement the thumnails in my webview (for now) and the multi file selection details...... I'm open to any ideeas.

Great xstyle! Use the background bitmap from my web view, the final result will be better!
This is the my Modded control panel webview based on Tihiy's revolutions pack 7 htt template (i think it works on win 98)... i'll post it soon...

What I've done... I have changed everything so all folders (even the special ones) are changed. It looks so ql but I don't know whick bitmap to put as a background.
It looks so cool even when the background is white...

Help me out ppl:

To me it looks like the normal Webview with a changed wvleft.bmp

But although it's nothing really special it looks cool.

K....give me your backround image..... I wait for the control panel

Xstyle:
Download my webview (look into the discussion) and extract the background bitmap from the zip file.
I'm creating a specific webviev for music folder...news in progress ;-)

I've included a bar in my webview.....let's make it special. Vista buttons on the bar!!

Well I want to integrate it in my project so I won't really make Vista stuff... It needs to be simple...

I'm waiting for new ideeas...until then......this is my webview...

How did you integrate the bar?

I used "vista buttons" and i implemented the buttons on top of the window and i used a backround for them, in the same style as the buttons. (it's not the windows taskbar.... if u thought so)
For the future i will implement the thumnails, the multi selection details, and other cool stuff. Until then.....have a nice day!

What is "Vista Buttons"?

It's a program that creates vista buttons for web pages. Google it, i use version 2.03.

Does anyone knows a good site that explain each Windows file, and each registry entry? Thanx! For win98....

The very first webview posted here by xelionxel,I want to download that.Please someone translate thanks.I can only speak English.

Well reactivating the thread... It shouldn't be so hard to translate it man just look at the icons and stuff...

But I think that the code must be optimized a bit since the WebView really slows the OS down...

No matter how you optimize it, it will slow things down. Win98 version seems to work faster, but anyway, you must know - it uses:
- MS HTML rendering engine, which is slow and buggy;
- MS HTML CSS engine, which is slow and buggy;
- MS HTML image engine, which is slow and buggy;
- MS HTML JScript/VBScript engine, which is slow and buggy.
But maybe some magical tricks possible...

I don't notice a visible speed penalty using webview or not really. Granted I use classic.htt instead of folder.htt as the default webview so there is no left pane stuff to load for most folders. (Trying to find a way to use a system wide background image for folders.)

And for the folders I have that have a custom (and heavy) htt, I almost don't see any difference in load speed to be honest.

AthlonXP 2600, 7200RPM drives and IE 5.5 (maybe it's faster than IE6).

Well in every way it must slow things down but still if it was optimized then it would slow down things a bit less.
The fact that win98 version is faster might come from the fact that it is using BMP and lighter code...
