My New System Mods

MODEM KILLER TOPIC! If u have no time go. :smartass:

Hi!

Here are some new mods I am working on.

It contains seven windowblinds themes / all for the def. gui/,

wfx shadows /look the shadows forme a tiny frame alround the rounded windows and the menu panels like in the real one,

samurize stuff for the finderbar weather, and system mods. All for one reason, to emulate the default Panther gui.

I hope I will finish the whole system mod at mid january.

See the five screenshots. Suggestions are wellcome.

I need help to finish my explorer mod. If someone knows how to modifie the system task pane, notifie me.

It is wery important, because I can only make skins not making new programs.

IF WE CAN MODIFIE THE SYSTEM TASK PANE, we can make a totally functional finder mod.

BY!

1).

The best DVD Player mods. Status: READY!

2).

System menus, right click etc. Status: 95% ready.

3).

System menus, advanced objectbar, kkmenu. Status: 90% ready.

4).

Finder mod, OB destop menu. Status: 50% ready. HELP NEEDED HERE!!!!

5).

New concept tabs. Status: 75% ready.

It looks superb, i love it (Y) But I think you should edit the post, remove these biiig images and place thumbs instead. Dial-uppers will kill you

Keep on working, your devotion is quite impressive :woot:

#90984

Yes, Thank you! My dreams are coming true. (Y)

I LOVE PANTHER!!!!

#90985

ya very nice wow :woot:

#90986

Holy Bajebus !!!

I was just threw with the OSX look and switched to a KDE3 look. But now as soon as this is done im switchin right back. finally someone has tried to get the perfect panther without tryin to put their own spin on it, and eventually makin it totally different.

man but with almost everything 90% done y until mid january? if yah need any help with anything u can always ask me. I specialize in hard to find sreenshots, and makin graphic stuff n such.

im hopin ur sharin this with the world wen ur done cause this is great, one of the reasons i gave up the look was cause i couldnt get it perfectly emulated, but i might switch back if this is good. from the screenshots it seems so.

also i dont kno if these are possible but:

in the finder window wen things are highlighted the dont have a flat colored highlight rectangle around it, it has more of a gradient tube with different colors associated with the filetype that u can change. if that could be possible in this that would be the greatest,

and also its gotta have drag n drop capabilities, but this would be dealing with the programming side if ur using felix or sumthin, but if ur usin explorer then thats not an issue.

and for the dock,

ive seen yzdock with a docklet that shows ur runnin tasks, but in the real osx it just puts an icon in the dock for each runnin app, with a lil icon in the bottom right corner of the icon, that represents wat it is, wether its a browser window, folder, or watever.

objectdock does this i think but it doesnt let u have the runnin apps icons next to the trash icon in the right end of the dock.

im sorry im a bit of a perfectionist. but i figure thats a good thing at times.

i hope i helped yah in some way

#90988

Wow

how did you make finder like that?! is it really explorer?

#90989

IT is ObjectDock. But I switched off this feature.

Labels:

It is a long story at apple. yrs. So I think there must be a file labeling program for windows too. Am I wrong???

#90991

Wow, your modded explorer looks simply amazing! Almost looks like the real thing!

#90992

how did you make finder like that?! is it really explorer?

Yes! But it is ugly now, because I was unable to modifie the task pane.

Some one here, made an explorer mod wich has a good looking left side.

So help me......

If u know wich file /exe, dll, html, htt, contains information on the left task pane,

tell me I would be wery greatful.

Unfortunately I got to go....So.....Iwill check the replies tomorow....BY AQUA LOVERS!

#90994

They're called Shellstyles, Aquarius; There's basically a file "shellstyle.dll" which is generally shipped with most visual styles - by modifying it, you can adjust the task pane's look and feel.

#91003

interesting. and looks promising. its an amazing job for what u have done to the ob and the wfx shadows.

#91016

Looks amazing!

How did you modify the right-click menu??

#91042

I think it can be achieved with Window Blinds...

#91045

Yeah, I think you're right, just noticed it!

I can't believe that's explorer!

#91048

Ummm, am I missing something? I see no screenshots....

#91106

Yes, where is the Screenshots?

#91115

Gosh, they're dead But I assure you, they were beautiful

#91178

'He's dead!!'

:pokey:

'He's definatly dead!!'

:pokey:

// Meanwhile, back in "On Topic Land" //

Somebody happen to save the screenshots?

#91191

OK! Some of the ss, have been restored....

So once again, I need help to make a totally perfect finder mod.

I can do the skinner job, but I have limitations.

The idea:

It is quite possible to emulate the left panel of panters finder.

In XP it is a bit more complicated to modifie these settings.

BUT!

In windows the left panel is called common task pane.

Ussually information on the task pane stored in .dll files, the system32.dll

-layout-icons-etc, the shellstyle.dll - skin, pictures.

But the main code is almost untouchable.....

There are programs that can modifie these settings. e.g. -vebview 2.1-

In that case the informations are stored in .css and .htt files.

The .css file causes the skin. The .htt file : info on the layout.

So, IF SOMEONE IS FAMILIAR WRITING .HTT FILES.....That man can help me.

Once we have the proper .css and .htt file .........i will add it to my explorer mods.....and: WE WILL HAVE THE ONE!!!!!!!!

Please help!

#91631

#91901

Dude! simply amazing! :woot:

I have tried to get my Win box to look as much like panther as poss to.

Have got nowhere near explorer yet! :bow:

Your mods are simply stunning youll have to tell us all how to do it once your finished. I mean what can finder can be more productive for Win than explorer (Y)

Im stunned by the screenshots I had to look twice to see explorer, Fantastic brushed textures aswell you got panther spot on!

Keep up the good work!

i tried working with webview a while back, but i didn't like the way it turned out so i trashed the idea.

however, i think that you can make the htt file in any html editor (i.e. frontpage, dreamweaver) and then just save it as an htt file.

I'm no web guru so I could be %100 wrong!
