There was the same kind of start up button in a royale theme somewhere.

Can we get multiple themes for taskbar? I don't really like the childish Windows XP default blue theme. Nevertheless you did a great job. This was just missing from Revolutions Pack 6. I guess when you reach 10th release you will rename the project to 1.0?

P.S. You really need to add some Donate button on your site.

Of course, there is Vista skin to come. If you want some other skin, i'll try to get it ported.

How do I get just the task manager?

Is it a worthy supplement to, or even a viable replacement for, that built into 98SE? In particular, I am looking for an XP style one that might head off a few BSOD and that would let me restart explorer after it crashes and fails to restart on its own.

Thanx,

I need to arrange my stuff together.

Just installed 98SE2ME and RP 6. I have two problems.

1. My icons are not displaying properly (and I can't seem to fix it). I don't think they're using "all possible colors".

2. When I go to save a file in IE, the usual dialog box opens but the Save and Opem buttons do nothing.

Any advice?

Thank you for cooperation!
Tihiy
RPLite6++ has reached beta quality.
There are still issues which i want to fix, plus Vista theme which i haven't touch.
Expect [or don't expect...] a release on weekend.
Then i'll unleash my thoughts about RPLite7. newwink.gif

You can use one from http://tihiy.ahanix.org/ (however, there is no LameSkin there).
Tihiy
RPLite6++ is almost here.
There is only 1 showstopper bug left and some polish waiting for Vista theme.
I hope you're waiting? wub.gif

Yea I'm really waiting!!! mad.gif
And can't wait anymore. newwink.gif
Please post RPlite6++ as soon possible Tihiy. thumbup.gif

Please...
Tihiy
Revolutions Pack 6++ is released!
http://tihiy.ahanix.org/RPLite6PP.exe


Taskbar skinning has made a long way to you!
Now, i officially present a FIRST EVER MADE absolutely native taskbar skinning.

It was VERY hard challenge, but all major bugs were wiped out!
I can't say it is 100% perfect, but it is SEXY!

This release also brings a lot of small bugfixes and improvements.

Possible OLD bugs:
1) icons are old
use "rundll32 shldll.dll,REBUILDICONS" command.
2) icons are trashed and 4-bit color
use "rpconfig.exe" command to turn off and on 32-bit icons.
3) "System Properties" are "SysProps.ShellFolder" instead.
use "regedit.exe %windir%\system\install.reg" command.

I'll share my thoughts about LameSkin and RPLite7 soon.
jimmsta
That's about as close to Vista as I want to get. laugh.gif biggrin.gif

Great job, amazing work. This is quite the achievment... you've introduced something that no one else has ever attempted- NATIVE skinning. Now to test in my VM.... newwink.gif

edit:
dirtwarrior
This is amazing.
HTS-500
what else can i say.... NICE.
Tihiy
Do not forget that RPLite 6++ also includes Royale theme: (however, you can forget about Square)


I'm currently planning features for RPLite 7, which i can hope can be considerable as "final" version.
I have some beginnings on those items, however, time will tell:
- New, completely rewritten taskmanager
- Ultimate tweak tool
- Some anti-malware
- ClearType ohmy.gif
- Something about stability and compatibility
- WebView replacement
- Logon screen
- And, of course, improved LameSkin (Vista aero-like skin, common controls, etc). There are still noticeable bugs.
nicke85
Uhh Uff it's too HOT!!! cool.gif
It's really sexy! shifty.gif
I'll never change Win98SE now! laugh.gif

Hello Tihiy,

I would immediately throw away my xp installation and install my good old Win 98 or Me system. Is it possible to add German language support to your terrific RP Lite if I would provide you with the necessary files from my W98 and/ or Me cd?

Thanks and you are doing a great job!

German will be already included into RPLite 7.
However, RPLite 7 won't arrive soon.

Tested. Your taskbar IS perfect !
For RPLite 7, just keep going. But it'd be cool if elements were more optional thought (like optional elements from shell updates...)
Anyway, nice work man! Keep going.

TIHIY, CAN U MAKE RPLite WITH WIN 2000 SUPPORT.. smile.gif

hasnt that question been asked lots of times before?

anyway i have a problem if i try to install my sound card driver after installing rplite 6++ it come up with
Run DLL /N streamci: the system cannot open the file

but if i revert to the older one it installs the sound card properly.
then i put the rplite file back on.

but good work on it

what sort of logon screen?
Tihiy

Well, it can be bug in rundll32 itself. It is completely rewritten and can be thus incompatible with some undocumented features. rolleyes.gif
Can you point me to these drivers?

QUOTE

I'm researching this subject now.
Do you have a suggestion?
awergh
http://members.driverguide.com/driver/deta...;driverid=35683

i didnt have an idea for the logon screen (except i do dislike the xp logon screen but thats just me)
my main interest was because i sort of have a domain and prefer if i could logon to it even with you NEW logon screen

This looks fantastic.

I was so excited that I set up a test installation to try it: 98SE with USP2.1a, all updates from the updates thread (including the most recent shell32 update), 98SE2ME (most recent or, at least the one before the most recent...) with Option 2 (no option 3), plus an extensive range of addons from MDGx's page.

The hardware is (admittedly) old: P2 266Mhz with an 8MB AGP card (32-bit colour-capable).

Installation failed with these errors:

CODE
A fatal exception OE has occurred at 0167:bff9e0b7


followed by:

CODE
Explorer caused a segment not present fault in module Kernel32.dll 0167:bff72843


and then:

CODE
A fatal exception O6 has occurred at 0000:00000017


Now I have a black screen with a movable cursor.

That looks like... some shell file wasn't updated or failed to register itself..
I'll try RPl6++ on system with all updates.

Can you at least uninstall it? Ctrl-Alt-Del-> Run -> rpuni -> OK [if that'll fail, you'll have to restore files manually from %windir%\revbckup, be aware that it also contains hidden system.dat and user.dat]

Before I tried RPLite6PP I made a backup partition and stored my whole C:\ partition there, using XCLONE. Instead of trying the uninstall exe, I just copied the backup partition back to C:\ (from DOS, using XCLONE/SMARTDRV/DOSLFNM). So I can't give any feeback on RPUNI just yet.

By the way, I used my ME CD when trying to install RPLite6PP. I'll try installing it again without the ME CD option (is this wise?).

Looks promising, but there is a problem: THE DOWNLOAD FILES ARE CORRUPT.

I tried installing 6++ over 6+, but it said at the end of installation "Extraction failed!". Then I restarted my computer and when it was starting up, explorer.exe repeatedly crashes. I reinstalled 6+, and 6+ worked fine, so it is not the WinME cab files.

I then checked the 6++ files, and found that many of the files were 0 kb.

P.S. There IS a conflict with SCANDISK.EXE. When I unistalled RevPak, Dos Scandisk worked properly again.

Well, there may be problem with file somehow damaged and thus corrupted installations now.
Why the heck i don't post md5 sums?!
So, i do not recommend downloading and installing RPLite6++ upon i'll fix possible problems.
I'll think what i can do with scandisk... Maybe i'll just move it to the GUI mode like ME does.
nicke85
In old versions excluding RPlite6,+ and ++ I haved in Display Properties new monitor in background.
In RPlite6 there is not now and I don't know why.Are u removed that pic maybe!?
Can you make some good monitor for all cards in Display Properties.

And can u make some good Wizz for Wireless and Lan connections like for Dial-Up? wub.gif

that would probably work, considering I have 98SE2Me, with the Me Scandisk

I'm not sure about this. RPLite includes non-DBCS version of many important system files, and thus can break japanese system. I'll try to prepare an japanese version, however, i have a lot of doubts about this.

TM0d wants too. There is much more work because there is no localized Serbian Windows version.
And, honestly, i think localized Windows versions are perverts.

Thanks for consideration

I don't quite understand what you mean by DBCS something, but
I'm going to try installing RRLite on Japanese Windows 98 SE sometime next week.

I have some exams comming... wacko.gif

edit: well, I installed windows 98 se English version on virtial pc and testing.
I'm getting IE5 or 6 in order to fullfill the requirement for RRLite.
It takes time because I'm with slow connection...
nakaiy
I tried it on my virtual pc installation.

I do had windows 98 english version, but
I did not have english Windows ME disk,
so I used my japanese Windows ME disk.

It went ok til boot screen. ( It's beautiful )

and I got the error which is shown in attached image.

the textbox saying following:

Maybe it's caused by Japanese Windows ME files?
Anyway, thanks to the wonderful Ctrl-Alt-Del dialog, I still can launch application
so I'm going to test some japanese text on notepad by installing japanese fonts.

Regards,
nakaiy
I post test display of japanese on RPLite6++ without Windows ME files.
It seems some programs with unicode support(?) can display japanese texts.
I guess I'm ready. How can I translate RP to Japanese, tihy?

Thanks,

PS: I'm installing Global IME japanese pack ;-)
