Hi to everyone.
I just came across TClock2, since I like TClock I gave it a try.
The only trouble is that in TClock I can modify my Start-Button as I please, but it lacks the function of making the tray and taskbar things flat.
In TClock2 I can make the tray look flat, but neither the Start-Button nor the task things.
(I think this is because I use Explorer.exe from Win95.)
And it since I don't want to run both at once...

So my questions are:
Which Registry Entries are used to do that?
Does anyone know?
Or is there a way to do make a Explorer.exe hack (would be even better)?

Thx a lot in advance.

you need to edit explorer.exe to do this

There are *many* interesting links on this 3ad (by me), check them out !

Have you tried TClock3? You'll probably have to run the Win98 Explorer, but it might be able to skin the whole taskbar with a WindowBlinds skin (download a skin, rename the .wba to .zip and extract it, run TClock3, enable "full skinning", and click the big button to import the WindowBlinds .uis file that was extracted).

@ awergh
Which parameters need to be changed?

@ patchworks
Are you sure this is the right link?
There is neither a Registry key nor parameters for explorer.exe.

@ WildBill
Don't want to run Win98 Explorer.

Tclock Light seems to be the solution. But I still want to make it "hardcore" ....

Thx anyway.

Just wanted to bring this thread to the front.

you have to edit the bitmaps in explorer with reshack or similar
to do this

Nope, that wouldn't do it. The bitmaps aren't the problem.

Maybe someone who understands C/C++ could help out. Since I don't understand the source of TClock light.
THX

i was sure that you could edit the bitmaps in explorer to look flat would work

@ awergh:
which bitmaps do you mean exactly? I'm using XN Resource Editor. Please mind that I'm talking of an Explorer.exe version that doesn't have Internet Explorer integrated. THX

I think you can hex-edit explorer to have flat buttons but I don't remember exactly where I read about that.
However, I suggest the use of Hook99. What do you think?
