81199 2002-09-20 06:20:00 OK, I have put the files up. I hope too many of you don't try to download them as my orcon account doesn't allow mass downloading of files.

The theme is here (knightguider.orcon.net.nz) (zip file 310kb)

Bootxp is here (knightguider.orcon.net.nz) (exe file 1.09mb)

Logonloader is here (knightguider.orcon.net.nz) (zip file 912kb)

uxthemepatcher is here (knightguider.orcon.net.nz) (zip file 17kb)

The theme is just the colour scheme, etc - the big taskbar etc is mine (you will have to do it too, it is not automatically created by the theme). You can do it for your current desktop aswell.

I don't charge anyone, Susan is teasing. (by the way it's who charges whom?)

81200 2002-09-20 06:26:00 Oh, mike here (knightguider.orcon.net.nz) is resource hacker. To modify the boot logo using resource hacker, you also need paintshop pro or photoshop, and the appropriate colour palette as the boot logo is limited to 16 specific colours (unless you REALLY hack the kernel and move some hex around.)

81201 2002-09-20 07:14:00 The site for StyleXP uxthemepatcher and other tools is http://www.tgtsoft.com currently they do not have an updated uxthemepatcher to to handle SP1 and I'm not sure if they will be releasing one.

uxthemepatcher is just the .dll file that gets replaced when you install styleXP. Without all the baggage though. I have seen a couple of other ones which supposedly will handle SP1 but I haven't given them a go yet.

81202 2002-09-20 07:33:00 I have SP1 and I am using the old uxthemepatch. Works just fine.

81205 2002-09-20 10:14:00 Unable to patch UXTHEME.DLL.
This version supports build versions 2600, 3541, 3590.

There is no support for this program.

Please check the http://www.tgtsoft.com web site for an update.

Is what it tells me. I'll get round to grabbing one from somewhere else or downloading the styleXP update.

81208 2002-09-20 12:24:00 Graham - your the best, that LogonLoader is excellent. I am having trouble downloading what i want cause the server was down @ the site i am finding the logons i REALLY like! But i will persist :D, One question - at the moment i am using the standard windows xp logon but have just personalised the account pics, will it be necessary to back that up? Can i just put it in the directory of logonLoader in case i stuff up and need it back? Basically how do i back up this one if i have to? As i think i better before i change it!!! J ZEP (336)
