edit, here is my PendingFileRenameOperations reg entry :
CODE
\??\C:\DOCUME~1\OuT\LOCALS~1\TEMPOR~1\Content.IE5\index.dat
\??\C:\DOCUME~1\OuT\LOCALS~1\History\History.IE5\index.dat
if you wish, my IE version is 7

edit 2, after the same cleanup/reboot procedure one more time, it now works... do not know exactly what changed


Files listed in PendingFileRenameOperations are renamed during a reboot, so after a reboot they won't be there anymore. A single reboot is all you need in most cases.

Hi. welcome.gif

First, thanks for XPize developers for such great software,
I have been using it since version 4.

I haven't tried R6 yet but with R5 there is no image in


Thanks for the feedback. 5R6 does not correct the issues you've described, but I'll put them on a list for future consideration if I ever get round to a Release 7 (unlikely).

W3bbo, the funny thing is that I'd already rebooted one time and the problem was still present newwink.gif

Thank you so much, W3bbo! smile.gif Just installed it, it feels so nice and complete! thumbup.gif

Okay, now let's get down to problems blushing.gif

1. A lot of elements in Advanced tree aren't properly labeled and contain no description.



I want to skip *.rar file type icon install, but can't find it... (not WinRar theme, that's what I can find and uncheck)

2. It still changes power off and log off screen buttons even I unselect all themes. I think I can work around this problem by deleting some temporary file, but it's quite annoying to do that every time.



3. Advanced options dialog's font is different from wizard font. For some languages it's quite annoying (also it's taskbar icon is default Visual Studio form icon).



4. MMC still has a lot of old icons...



Also every time I install XPize I select and unselect a lot of elements in the tree manually and it's quite hard to not make a mistake and forget something... Is it possible to implement some kind of selection remembering functionality, e.g. save selection as template or something to load it when installing XPize next time?

Thanks,
Vladimir

Actually it was planned, that R6 will include a reloader feature...
Maybe this will come in a future version. smile.gif

This is where the custom icon packs come into play, somebody can fix/add to the default theme and improove it later...the most important part is the program

That's right. I've updated the downloadable tools, so let's see what the users make of them.

Hi, some suggests :

1) 7-Zip theme doesn't have transparency: some icons have black background, others have white (or grey don't remember) background. Might be due to my visual style, I don't use those of xpize... no screenshot, could provide if needed

2) because there is alot of options to (un)check in the installer, it would be very convenient if, when a child box is unchecked, the parent box became checked, but on a greyed box, instead of remaining unchanged

Otherwise, this xpize resurrection is really impressive

Cheers

This is caused by outdated nVidia drivers. It's a known issue and a problem shared by the author of the 7-Zip Theme Manager ( http://www.7ztm.de.vu/ )

Most users won't need to touch the Advanced installation tree view, what settings were you after?

To expand on W3bbo's 7zFM problem::

From: http://killercookie-server.media-xshell.co...amp;page=01_FAQ
QUOTE
Why do my Toolbar-Icons have a black background instead of a transparent one?

* This bug mostly occurs in conjunction with the nVidia GeForce drivers.
Unfortunately we are not aware of a solution be we can offer a workaroung - reduce the hardware acceleration:

Right click on desktop -> Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> Troubleshoot -> Hardware acceleration -> choose penultimate slider setting (Decrease cursor acceleration and bitmap acceleration)

@W3bbo, I really fine-tune my xpize install : no WinRAR theme because I use mine, no bootscreen because I don't like it, no visualstyle because I'd rather use my current one, idem concerning the wallpaper, etc... In a nutshell, I am only using the sysfiles patches and the logon/logoff screens. And so, each user customize its desktop as he wishes, hey, here is the interest of a powerful and flexible software as anobis newwink.gif

@ Happy-Dude, this bug is quite interesting, but whatever I certainly won't harm hardware acceleration because of this newwink.gif FYI my ForceWare version is 182.50, it isn't that old...

Well, I could try to improve the package itself (not installer) to remove some artifacts (e.g. changes in unwanted elements, incorrect file type names etc). Could you please point me to how to get this package (xpize 5 release 6) separately to be able to change it (and the tools needed for that)?

Have you already installed R6 yet? (Is it really difficult to change the file association icon post-install? If it is a hassle, I guess you'll have to make due by unselecting all the extra icons and stuff so you can keep your own icon associations.)

The descriptions are from the .anop packages (I believe), in this case the default xpize ones. W3bbo has been working on compiling translations together, adding various tweaks to the program, making some new resources, and tuning the program... Basically, I don't think he had the time or effort to add the descriptions for advance settings tongue.gif .

(Since W3bbo is taking some time off from the project, feedback and suggestions will be noted, but put aside for the moment. This, of course, would be the prime time for package developers to take initiative and make packages that cover what xpize missed... Or, something different entirely, like a Vistapack or something. newwink.gif)

Thanks for reply!

Yes, I've installed R6 already, but that's really not a big deal for me to revert back (since I always have OS backup which takes about 1.5-2 mins to rollback to, since I have a fast SSD drive smile.gif). The problem with *.rar file type icon is that there is about 40 more associations for archive tomes, e.g. *.r01-*.r40. Again that's really not a big deal just to skip custom file type icons during install, I just pointing for caveats which W3bbo (or someone else) may want to fix later.

If the descritions are from *.anop, where can I get latest (xpise 5 release 6) to try to fix myself?

That is by design. The author of Luna Element didn't like seeing those pictures.

I don't use the large start panel, I always use the Classic start menu with Small Icons enabled.
