Add/Remove Programs works fine in my Win98, without RevPack.... Let you do me the autorization to translate this to Portuguese???

When I used the RevPack, my system resources let down to 89%; This is the normal level Tihiy????

Ps - This level is without anti-virus, or traysound.... Without the RevPack, this is at 94%-97%....

At global, the pack runs fine, you do a great work...

will 6+ be compatible with 982MEse? And exactly what cab files from the ME cd do you need?
chuckbourdeau
Do there is a system backup like the Makbakup in the older version?
Cause the last time I installed it and Windows Crashed down...

-- I have a another question, why do you not include the ME .cab files into your project?
Tihiy
Revolutions Pack 6+ is released
http://tihiy.ahanix.org/RPLite6P.exe
Really, this is a minor update.
Sorry for bothering you with 4,3MB download.

Add/Remove applet updated silently last time i swear (this version is included into RPLite6+)
- Fixed Bulgarian charset

Do you mind bothering with another update ? whistling.gif
I just tested the applet, and had to do some modifications to the translation in order to fit the provided space (sorry for being that late ). Modified strings are in the attached file (look for OLD >>> and NEW >>> line prefixes).

While testing i also found some issues in with the applet:
After installing and uninstalling ArchMark and SpeedFan the applet says that the applications list hasn't changed, which is not true. Some delay and flushing the cache might help on this.

Rollback restores the whole registry, which might have unpleasant effects. Try restoring only the changed/added/deleted registry keys.


I dropped a shortcut instead of an exe (i'm lazy, i know smile.gif) and the applet failed to start it. After dropping the actual executable, the applet recorded some changes to the system and enabled the rollback function. Restoring the whole registry just to undo a simple launch of Notepad, WTF? no.gif


(???????) - huh ??????? tongue.gif




Could you expand the selected entry some more, please ?


The red text section could use som expanding too. Or better, make the scroll bar moveable, so that the whole right panel could be resized.

That's all for now.

No, although some bugs you've pointed must be fixed/reimplemented.
There are more interesting things waiting for next RPLite. woot.gif
Ambassador
How do you turn on the thing that puts the compatibility tab into the Properties window of applications?

Also, how do you turn on Window shadows?

EDIT: Found a bug: when you are waiting to download something, and then the window pops up asking you what to do with the download (ala open, save, cancel, etc.), neither the save or the open buttons work. You click them, and nothing happens.

On actual RPLITE, isn't there Extended Application Compatibility?

My experiences with latest RPLite 6+ on VMWare:

- LameSKIN engine not automaticly configured. I hope you can fix this. I have to switch theme manually to Vista to make changes happen.
- Unicows.dll is reported as installed. I only added a copy of it to the RPLite folder. However installing RPLite gives problem copying some ME-files. I had to install unicows.dll to the Windows\System directory.
- Locking the taskbar / Unlocking is very buggy. It doesn't work most of the times.
- Not everything is localized in my language. Stuff missing is text for Lock / Unlock taskbar, Explorer descriptions for Network Locations, Trash bin.
- System information panel is displayed as "SysProps.Shellfolder"
- Software Install panel is great, except for the Restore functionality. It might be better to remove it now, and add it back in when you can actually revert application changes, rather then restoring the whole registry.
- Moving the new CTRL-ALT-DEL window does not update the display, so many windows are displayed. Please fix this, or make Window Unmovable.
- Bootlogo is ugly with the new bold Windows 98 letters. Could you please change it back to the Revolutions Pack 6 one?

Conclusion, great software, but not RELEASE worthy yet. You should put the BETA flag back to it smile.gif

You mean, you have to save it everytime under 'Vista' name?
Or what it does not applies itself automatically?

Hm, i'll check.

These are not constant issues and appear on some systems; although i need to fix it anyway.

Well, YOU should localize it. Except webvw.dll, which i can fix mostly by myself.

Please provide me an example so i can understand why.

Ahha! I'm sure that everyone hates new logo.

Excuse me.... I like the new one (LOGO) so you should make 2 options - for the new one and for the old one....

During taskbar skinning, i've discovered new minor LameSkin bug:
Taskbar buttons may not switch to newly created window.
You can reproduce this issue by pressing Ctrl-E many times.

Edit: fixed internally; that's weird 9x user bug.
Fixed LameSkin is going to be available in next RPLite version.
chuckbourdeau
I don't know if your interested about it but I personnalized a folder to make it look like the windows Xp luna one just take a look :

When i'll be in same shape as Windows 98 is today.

Edit:
There is one critical LameSkin bug was found by Ambassador:
You can't download files with Internet Explorer.
http://bridgecommander.3dactionplanet.game...ntitled_789.jpg

I hope no RPLite6 users are using Internet Explorer (especially without download manager) so this bug is not that critical.
Anyway, it requires additional attention and should be fixed soon, even if i'll have to delay next RPLite version.
Tihiy
Here is a quick fix to IE lameskin issue.
[note: it fixes only that bug]

Great work Tihiy.

Have you seen Vista orb?

There are many problems arise if i'm to implement Vista orb:
- it must be bigger than taskbar - how?
- it must be translucent - how?
- it is different for top, bottom and side taskbar positions.
However, i hope i can solve this problems.

Huh, I'm a little confuse about this technical terminologies, I'm talking about the two "lines" in taskbar, one at side of startbutton and other at side of systray, right???

Still a hell lot work to do. yes.gif

Ok. They are the addresses what I encountered in your explorer:

Address 274A - 6A 03 - Modify to 6A 10 - Refer to organization of bandborders - Do from BF_TOPLEFT to BF_DIAGONAL.
Address 274F - 6A 06 - Modify to 6A 01 - Refer to design of same - Do from EDGE_ETCHED to BDR_RAISEDOUTER.

Trying a solution to do the background of clock transparent. Have just a way to modify the colors of that.... confused.gif

Be happy if can help.... biggrin.gif

At time: Man, your taskbar is f*&*¨¨&ng perfect.....

Slightly better version of taskbar skinning which'll be available in RPLite 6++.
