btw, is it possible to have XP style taskbar in win2000? And to talk more in general, some kind of skin support?
I saw something similar in Win98 Revolution pack so I hope it can be the same for Win2000 too biggrin.gif


1. No
2. No

This project had a short life and i'm afraid it's dead now. sad.gif

Provolino, try the TClock3 project. It should work much better for Win 2000 than for Win98.

Is this project dead?

Well, it is kinda stagnated.

Tihiy, perhaps a note in the first post about the status of your work on this project would be helpful? Or, if you prefer, we could do something with this thread (un-sticky, lock, etc).

Onos!!! It's dead?

I can help starting skinning support and maybe have a look at patching TextOutA and TextOutW with Freetype for ClearType font render feel... Any chance of opening the project to the community Tihiy?

never going to happen, Xenomorph

c'mon folks, read this thread as to why Cleartype won't ever be implemented in Win2k:

sorry to bring bad news about that but life is sometimes cruel

at least it's nice of Tihiy to make a Win2k Revo Pack now that I've migrated my relative's computers from Win98se/WinME to Win2000 and have installed Gurgelmeyer's Unofficial Win2k SP 5.1.2195.24 refresh pack on their machines

I beg to differ...

Unfortunately I have just about zero time to perfect it, but it's a start in case anyone wants to play with it. The source should be included.

EDIT: This wasn't the newest version I had. If you visit the link above you can get version 0.1.5, which has some text positioning improvements.

I have a question. my system tray icons are still not 256-bit colored no.gif . How do I get them? BTW, the toolbar icons installed OK.
Dilusion
did you try creating a new text file in winnt or whatever your systemroot is and naming it "explorer.exe.32bitimgl"
this should make the tray icons better if you have rpl2k installed. yes.gif
Dblake1
Is there any possibility in the next release for there to be lameskin like in 98SE RP7?

I think that this project is really stagnated...

So, it Requires:
- Windows 2000, SP4 & IE6 preffered (not tested with IE5)
- 32-bit video mode. If your videocard does not support it, you're out of luck.

Installing RP 2.01 [attached to this post]:
- Extract/Run setuprp.exe [safe mode recommended]
- Reboot
=====================
hello ! anyone ,
Can you help me ? My PC restart to Blue Screen [ERROR!]after i installed the RP202.
1.My PC: P4 3.0G + Memory 1G + FX5200 +80G
Windows2000sp4+Chinese[language] + IE6
2.Without net.framework2.0
3.Without Vista icon pack3.0
4.What are the Requires for before RP202 Installer?
5.How to install the RP202 ? step by step ?

Thank you for this great tool. It applies 32bit with alpha to tray icons too, using explorer.exe.32bitimgl. But animated tray icons are buggy, sometimes they don't animate at all, sometimes they do, but at random fps, so all tray icon anims broken sad.gif Any ideas why?

I just installed Windows 200 Revolutions Pack. This is what part of my desktop looks like:



Perhaps the paragraph below gives a solution to this, but I can't understand it. Is there a solution to my problem posted anywhere that I may actually be able to understand?

How to force application to display 32-bit image lists:
This workaround cures black shadows or discolored images in programs which were written unaware of 32-bit icons with Windows 2000.
Create "your program.exe.32bitimgl" file for your program.exe in the folder this exe resides. Viola!
You can also use this trick instead of "256-color tray patch" for explorer.exe, however, this isn't the right way. I think.

Disable Active Desktop (use normal background picture)

I converted my background image from a JPEG to a 32-bit bitmap. I then disabled Active Desktop. Except for the "1-Click Maintenance" icon, everything looks a lot better. Thank you.

Hallo guys,
It seem that if you face a problem it is only partial one with specific windows or programs.

For me RP does not work at all!!!

- Windows 2000, SP4, IE6, .... + all the available patches from Windows update
- GChip ATI Radeon™ 9250 (VGA HIS Excalibur 9250, 128MB DDR/64b)
- installed on PCI bus (NOT PCI Express!)
- support 32-bit color depth and properly set in ATI Catalyst controll center
- Tried many times installation in normal, safe mode, manual dll reg/unreg

Symptomes:
- Windows startup splash screen is puzzled in unnatural colors
- some changes to icons: 32 bit icons seen only as a black shape (before installation seen in colors with cubbed shape)
- Explorer toolbar not updated
- Tray icons in 256 colors (before in 32-bit thanks to installed tray icon patch)

Any ideas or suggestions? If needed i can post some screen shots or logs.

Thanks
David

Hello,

I was just wondering about one thing regarding this pack and that is:

I as a user of a Window 2000 OS that has been stripped with FDV windows reducer fileset and I was wondering if the two things are compatible.

Thank you and best regards,

knofix
damian666
to be honest, i dont know if tney are compatible man, try and let me know.
it should work though...

I know this topic is old, but I need help ...

When I install W2K RP and reboot computer, there are only "grey", "non-nice" ( biggrin.gif ) icons in system tray and in "My Computer" there are icons with black background. And Explorer XP Icons? There are default, "non-nice" ( biggrin.gif ) icons from W2K.

Do you understand me?

Thanks for answer.

Hi. You may need to rebuild you icon cache for some changes to take effect (and I guess you already know how to do that, since you're using this software).

About "non-nice" icons: RP doesn't change any icon. You must do it manually or install some customization pack like Vistapack 2K.

My PC has same problem, although I tried install it in safe mode.
and setuprp.exe doesn't recover the comdlg32.dll backed up, when failure to patch.
And we must rename from comdlg32.bak. blink.gif
damian666
well, to be honest with you guys... this program is kinda dead nowadays...
i dont think tihiy will even support it anymore.

we have to wait patiently for deadalus to hit the world in her face.

Windows2000 Revolutions Pack's Bug

The SetupRP.exe sometimes creates two 230MB files (it isn't right PE image.)
If you don't have enough disk space. it may be come blue screen.
We must take care about existance normal comdlg32.dll in system32 before reboot Windows.

I desire to solve this problem.

Tihiy, if you're not developing this any more, would you mind opening the source so someone else could pick it up? Pretty please?

I'm afraid he lost the source code long ago and that's why this project is dead. sad.gif
damian666
well... maybe we can reverse enginere it, with the ok from tihiy ofcourse

that would be ok right?
