itried it and its getting better than it was

Keep a copy of the original 32bit icons because I know that someone will figure out the fix for 2000

A few more icon locations to play with:
%SysDir%\shell32.dll, 20, 20.ico ;Programs in menu
%SysDir%\shell32.dll, 37, 20.ico ;Programs in menu
%SysDir%\shell32.dll, 22, 22.ico ;Settings in menu
%SysDir%\shell32.dll, 23, 23.ico ;Search in menu
%SysDir%\shell32.dll, 134, 23.ico ;Search in menu

Once again, of course, substitute your.ico files for the ones that I am using.
So far, I have only used 16x16,32x32,48x48 multi-icons which are mostly 32bit. Win2k doesn't seem to care but will display them 8bit (256 colors), whatever.

I haven't been able to find the battery icons for laptops for the tray. Any idea?

[damian666]

yeah i think thats found in batt.dll just like in XP.
i have found all of those in xp, and maybe they are in 2ooo on the same place.
i will look in to it and then send you a list.
see you after the weekend.

bye bye damian666

Hey D.
Nope, my batt.dll only holds the icon shown.
BTW, don't know if you can tell but my screen is set to your V_sta pack.
I am actually running (right now) your pack but some of the icons aren't quite the same so I guess it is set up for XP?

My 3 year old wants a few happy faces. She wants the do-do-do and the red blah-blah-blah and the heart one:

hi squeeto, well i have had a look, and found a whole bunch of the icons in 2000.
i tried it on my 2000 installation by integrating them in my setup files.
and it works fine!
and that first v_sta pack is really made for 2000.
so maybe its a mistake or something thats not done yet.
i will send you what i got so far.
umm its 10mb so i dont know if i can send it by email.
ill try.

Got it .... Wow.
That is a lot of work. Is that every icon finished now?

You should post this for others.
If you do post, attach a small readme.txt to it so that people know to copy their I386 folder to D:\WIN2000 before running the 1-collect.cmd (etc.) files.

I just reinstalled Win2k (I mean like yesterday!) so I probably won't try your V_sta pack until I need to do that chore again.

Also, just thought, do you need a modified SFC.dll or SFCFILES.dll for this to work? If so, include this in an INCLUDE folder to be automatically copied as well.


Outstanding!

[Squeeto]

BTW, thanks to your pack, I see the battery icon is really a bmp.
Thanks

batmeter.dll bitmaps 300 and 301

[damian666]

well no problem man, i like to do that stuff so, and no its not done man.
i think there are still icons left to change.
i will keep searching...
and no you dont need to have a custum sfc file.
because you patch your install files, windows wont even know that its the wrong resource.
cool huh.
oh that cmd stuff, is not mine btw, i just customized it to my needs.

and you can post it if you like.
for our little project!

Damian has done a lot of work on his own icon set with an accompanying installer. We are still testing it but it should be finished soon.
Congratulations to Damian and watch for a download soon.

He has found most of the icons, bitmaps and avis that hide in Windows 2000. I adapted his source list to come up with a nearly complete iconset.txt file that can be used for IconSwap.



The iconset.txt file for Win2k has been updated - Jan. 9, 2007
(I have installed XP and probably won't update iconset.txt for Win2k as often)

The XP version (XP.txt) has been added and updated - Feb. 12, 2007

The iconset.txt file (post #28) has been updated.

From what I can see, Damian has most of the resources now.

[damian666]

Well i dont think so man, im still looking for any resource that needs changing.
maybe some requests, or hints from someone?
i will speak you soon man.

These are the only resources that I see missing from your set. I do have a lite Windows 2000 though.

hi there, consider the startbutton done and the rest is a work in progress.
i will let you know.
oh and squeeto, let me know what you think of the latest update so i know if i can release it.
and how did i do that again?
let me know!

damian666

[Squeeto]

Very good D.

But 2 requests:

1. Can you mod the menu to accept just 'L' instead of 'Live-Install', 'Q' instead of 'Quit', etc.?
A little picky, I know but ....

2. Could you attach a change_log file? You are making only minor adjustments now but they are hard to find for each release.
I like to be able to keep my iconset.txt up to date with each release.

Go to:

and hit 'New Topic'

The iconset.txt file (post #28) has been updated.

[damian666]

hi squeeto, i will try to do that changelog thingy you want, but its hard for me to because it are really small changes and i just go along..
but will try that for the next release.
and i will look in to the menu for you, dont know if its possible but we will see.
and when i fixed that i think we are on the first release!!!
and btw to bad for that msn thing, thought it would be cool

well speak you soon!!

New menu is working great.

How about making this an English edition? The designations for the new run boxes could have the English equivalent to "Annuleer" and "Bladeren".

The new Properties dialog doesn't work for me. I thought that it was a IconSwap thing but it might also be a problem with the new script. You should release anyway because I know this is working for you. See pic.

You need an option to prepare your files for the I386 folder. For those who want to install your pack with an unattended cd.

This might be strange request but ..... Ok, I like your new ntoskrnl boot screen. Removing the 2nd progress bar makes it look really clean but I can't tell when the main bar will finish. Could you put it in a box like XP does? People like to watch the progress and know when it will end (the reason for progress bars in the first place).

hi squeeto, well that dialog is a problem with me too.
when i check it it is there in the file, but it wont show???
i must look in to it more.
for the english version, i will translate it all to english.
try to make that progressbar bordered.
and that i386 option is already there man, thats option 2.
now i can even type in the path to the i386 folder so no more fixed place!!!
you know today is the day that im going to release the first official version huh?!
im now uploading it on rs and will then post in the xpize forum, because well, its basicly based on it so...
well wish me luck.

ps. i have made a little changelog for you, its in the prog's folder.

bye bye
