OK. I just installed the package. It works great. Afterwards, I still had all my icons from vipv3, except the my my computer icon. I reinstalled the vipv3 and it restored the my computer icon.

So now I got everything without having to make my own custom files :-).

Thanks.

hi people! as he works with SP3 ?

[kti^]

I would guess that an update that is compatible with sp3 will come some time after the original xpize is updated to support sp3, although xpero seems to be rewriting that quite a bit so it could take some time...

Guys, i'll take a look today. Been a loooooong time since a new release.

[Kiki Burgh]

GREAT! looking forward to it zedox!

[ronalds]

Fantastic to hear! Thanks!
I can't wait to install it on my freshly-formatted XP

[zedox]

I'm trying to finish my unattneded sp3 cd. Once thats done i can begin hunting down problems.

[janrockt]

how is the progress? or are you waiting for the new xpize before you continue?

[zedox]

Progress is slow, I really struggle for time now.

I will not be basing any future releases on any of the new XPize releases.
I will maintain using the NSIS installer. If I was to move from this, it would be made from scratch by myself.

I'll try and make some time to look into the issues, but other than correcting problems and changing the visual style again nothing else will be changed.

waiting for the complete compatible Darkside for SP3

Any idea of when we can hope to have a SP3 compatable Darkside? As of right now with version 2.1, the logon screen doesn't work with widescreen. I am running at 1440x900. Do you have any current fix for this in the meantime while we wait for the SP3 compatable version?

Thanks for all of your hard work!

My desktop resolution is 1680x1050 and it works fine. I do it manually though so I can switch to different logons if I want using a reg file. I use this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"UIHost"="C:\\Windows\\system32\\XPize_Logon.exe"

You can use this to reset it to default:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"UIHost"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\logonui.exe"

I don't remember where I found XP_Logon.exe, as it's not in the %WINDOWS%\XPize Darkside folder. If you want, I'll put it up on some file host as it's just slightly too big to attach to this post.

As to the project, I assume 2.1 is the last release? It was said it will not be based on any future releases, so I'm assuming it's dead. I know Xpize 2.7 was a major overhaul, so it would be a lot of work. Someone else could take over the project if they wanted, right? I don't have the know how, otherwise I would. I really need to go back to school.

Hi,

I still didn´t find a real answer on this so i´ll ask here.

I have allready had darkside installed before. but an older version.
Back then the startbutton was only the small flag, but now its a big orange bar.

Is there any easy way, like a setting to make it the flag again??

I hope u can help,

Nozem

xpize darkside changed the default desktop theme onboard, you can install your favorite.
the old one was luna royale and i prefered it, too. luna element black is another alternative.
