Revolutions Pack 9
Version 9.1.0, released Apr-26'09.

Revolutions Pack (RP) is an unique program designed to improve Windows 98/Me user experience with:
* Stability and Control. It provides new Ctrl-Alt-Del dialog allowing precise control over system resources.
It includes technologies which are improving system reliability by protecting system resources and providing better resource utilization and cleanup.

* Appearance and Personalization. Revolutions Pack has UberSkin with it - the most powerful free skinning engine built around closed-source OS.
It is able to change almost any GUI element at no cost over usability. You want Windows XP skin looking better than real Windows XP? No problem.
Now, with RP9, you'll also have all-out power over icons. RP9 reintroduces 32-bit icons - with shadows, smoothed edges and rich colors.
Do you care? RP9 comes with fine set of icons which you can choose from - and restyle whole system icon set in one click.
Where to click? In RPConfig - new control tool for personalization. It's the storage for your wallpapers, skins and icons - your style.

* Usability and Effects. New RP version has neat little features like:
ClearType - Microsoft subpixel font smoothing technology which greatly improves reading on LCD screens;
Big buttons for taskbar - greatly improves task switching on big screens;
Menu fading - if your eyes are tired from pop-roll menus;
Hotkeys - for keyboard pundits. Now you can use WIN+UP/DOWN to maximize/minimize windows. And I've just started.

Over all mantras, Stability and Control is the most important for whole RP9.
That's why new Revolutions Pack is completely modular - you don't install what you don't want.
That's why new Revolutions Pack won't touch any system file or registry key - it plays nice.
It was created and polished to play nice with your applications and your system.

BTW, if I can suggest some features:

* I definitely agree with slhk [in Post #240] that getting an alarm (in the systray) about resources would be very useful, yes.gif
and that a unique board with KTM is more friendly.

* Now, that we can customize all our OS from inside RPConfig, the main skin-tweak missing is the change of Cursors. Why not a new tab for them?

* What else? RP9 is amazing! biggrin.gif

@ Dandee:

Hi Dandee, welcome.gif

RP9 Icon Pack is a nice work smile.gif ,

but Uninstall (and way back) is not clean at all with the SystemIcons.reg!
I had to delete manually the folder C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\IconSkan (and his content), besides the file C:\SystemIcons.reg
and to restore the whole folder C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Icons from the original RP9.exe.

Ah, yes, the .reg file only resets the registry. The .image files are not deleted.
They will be deleted by the RP9 uninstaller, though.
