You want more? Wait its alpha!

And when you say : BETTER DIALOG ICONS, BETTER START MENU ICONS, BETTER SYSTEM FILES ICONS, BETTEr SHUT DOWN ICONS !! ...

Say better for you.

Well, they're extemely awesome to my taste!
If happens to be icon packs support for RP8, it will be the my first choice!

I think i need you (in addition to marxo) for RP8 design.
But if you could release those icons as icon set (for existing program like IconPackager, or standalone as ResPatcher), it would be extremely nice!

Hmmm .....

Impressive ..... Most impressive .....

Any chance for us to apply it to our system ?

Hmmm .....

Thank you for the archive. Could you kindly place 'em on multiple sites please in the future ? The ones on rshare is taking me nearly 10 mins just to get 2.4mb ...

Rgds

Sorry fot that...I place the archive on rshare because I thought it works just fine....but i'll take your advice and i'll put it on different sites.

Although I don't mind the spartan look of Win98, I'm really impressed by your project.
Does your modification work with the localized (in my case Polish) versions of Win98SE?

My project it's not finished yet....and onest i don't know! Some files have the dialog in Polish language.

Here is a screenshot of what i've managed to build(rebuild)...i'll post the files soon.

Hmmm....can someone give me a hint. What i'm doing wrong??

Those icons are in the ICO format, right? If they are, they need to be transparent, not the pink color that LameSkin treats as transparency. If you don't have an ICO maker, I use IconEdit32 (google it, it's free). If those are Bitmaps, then Windows probably uses a different color for transparency, but which I do not know.

It is a bitmap, you should save the bitmap to it's exact color depth and you should be sure that the background color is ok.

But I had the same problem with the Skins groupbox files and I never knew whats going on.

Thanx....

Think about the alpha channel, guys (LukeSkillz and chuckbourdeau).

Check this out guys!!! I belive it's awseome. I've made more modificatons, more icons are changed, more to come. I'll post everything when i'll finish. I have to test more stuff....and it takes time.

I don't have anything against you using Windows Lupus Project files in Renovatio but wouldn't recommend it because RP7.11 has that "anti-Lupus" code and renames the windows version to "IT'S NOT LUPUS" which is really dumb IMHO. Nice pack btw...

Thanx marxo! I'm using Lupus files and RP files and other resources...and you're righ, how do i get ride of that "IT'S NOT LUPUS" text from the desktop.

Just change the Windows Version in the registry/

Wow. I must say, all this is amazingly awesome. Poor XP users who can't install this stuff!

Actually they can have a dialog like that but not by installing Renovatio, ofc.

...an open source Renovatio release !

IMHO I think that this project and Windows Lupus could be unified (in the future).
After a certain period of development, between two projects could born a great group.

Let's take it step by step... I want to finish the patching and doing some new icons for Renovatio and after that i'll look onto your sugestion.

--I'm rebuilding the project

I did kind of a similar project with mostly XP icons. Here's what I have achieved:

So, if you need any help with patching 16bits control pannel files or anything, just ask.

By the way, your project looks great. Especially the modified bitmaps
Keep up the good work.

Thanx... if u want to give me your work it will be great! It will be a lot easyer for me.

Not good. Modifying shell32.dll leads to crashes with RP7 (and maybe without RP7 too) very often (Lupus suffers from this crash, for example). That's why imageres.dll was born.

Dream on... Dream on...

Heh!Heh!

Trust me, it works just fine! I have to test it a lttle bit more....but until now i didn't encounter any prblem with RP7...

--I'm rebuildin the project.

OMG
I've never seen so much reshack in my life.
But remember that quality and quantity are different things.

I know the difference between quantity and quality, and i trully respect your opinion. I'm proud of my work, I thing it's great, and of course it's not finished, I must do some work to it.

Dunno if could help, but i just added this link to "my" GNUWin project idea (aka Open Sourcing Windows 9x) @ WPC:

Thanx! It's very useful!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN THE NEXT YEAR!

Hy! I've started the project from scratch, i have a new ideea, a cleaner look. I will give more time to the graphics and to the icons.

I like that you're using Lupus Classic Theme... The bitmap is very nice... but i dislike the 3rd party icons...
Even so, it looks very nice, if you are consistent with the icon pack.

Here is the icon design for my Renovatio project (i've finished creating some icons).
I will try to make the best in 16 bit mode and of course in 32 bit mode.

Cool, but check this out:



Tango Icons for Windows (XP/2003)... why not 98 ?

I think he prefers Vista-ish icons....

Argh.. Why the f*** is there no icon patches for 9x?
Everyone would be happy

Dooood need a mydol ???

Well, why not BricoPack Vista Inspirat Ultimate 2 then ?

Anyway, i still believe that both Tango and Crystal icons would be great on 98:

Bricopacks

Thanx for the suggestions guys, but like marxo said, i like vistaish icons. I'm workng to the files icons, and i have something like this:

And here it's a snap of the icons in large style.

This has probably been answered elsewhere, but have you considered using something like XIS (XPize Installer System) for this? I mean in the sense it can do a reshack on the already existing executables and DLLs in the system to be Renovatio'd instead of requiring the extraction and replacement of (possibly) incompatible versions of the files you customize. Have you given this any thought?

EDIT - removed quoted text

I can't find a decent and complete icon pack so i'll use vista inspirat icons.

I've finished the icon pack...and i must say now it's complete for almost every icon in win98se.
