[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9841

or type refresh into search

 

It may have been already asked elsewhere, but is it possible to set your metro-color separately from the window color.
On Windows 8.x I had the window borders + taskbar to auto and the startscreen to grey with orange accents (also for charms bar, volume slider etc).
Now with Win10 it seems that there are no separate settings for the metro part anymore. So when I set the borders to auto my start menu is annoying yellow, and I only seem to get it to grey by changing the overal theming color, making my windows look boring.
So is there any way I can get my start meny/metro part gray with orange while still having my windows borders to auto?

 

Has anyone else noticed a slow down in Windows 10 when it comes out of sleep mode.
Never notice it before, it just started the last few days.
I did not notice any new updates of late.

 

have you tried sfc

I noticed on some torrent site that there are russian/english version of WTP Enterprise

Code:

Russian language pack installed Windows 10 by PainteR v.0.8

how/where did he got russian lang pack?

 

guess it is kind of home brew if I understood some discussion on this matter at ru-site correctly

 

yep, that's they way I understood it for new lps for W10TP

 

But maybe small part of W10TP doesn't translated. And the same about another windows.

 

any lp which is not among current official TP versions has to be considered as unfinished or simply not available yet. They certainly work on that stuff but considder quite some time to be consumed doing propper translations into all languages

FeedbackApp.Windows is not responding What is?

 

Closest I got with AutoHotkey was this:

Code:

#NoTrayIcon
#Persistent
#SingleInstance force
#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

SetupWatch(byRef hEvent, byRef hKey) {
ret := DllCall("Advapi32.dll\RegOpenKeyExW", "uint", 0x80000001, "str", "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent", "uint", 0, "uint", 0x0010 + 0x0001 + 0x0100 + 0x20006, "uint*", hKey)
if (ret != 0)
ExitApp
hEvent := DllCall("CreateEvent", "uint", 0, "int", true, "int", false, "uint", 0)
if (!hEvent)
ExitApp
}

main()
{
OnExit, cleanup

SetupWatch(hEvent, hKey)
Loop {
ret := DllCall("Advapi32.dll\RegNotifyChangeKeyValue", "uint", hKey, "uint", true, "int", 0x00000004, "uint", hEvent, "int", true)
if (ret != 0)
ExitApp
ret := DllCall("WaitForSingleObject", "uint", hEvent, "uint", 0xFFFFFFFF)
if (ret = -1)
ExitApp
IfWinExist Color and Appearance
WinWaitClose
sValue := 0xff520018
DllCall("Advapi32.dll\RegSetValueExW", "uint", hKey, "str", "StartColorMenu", "uint", 0, "uint", 4, "uint*", sValue, "uint", 4)
PostMessage, 0x031A, 42,,, ahk_id 0xFFFF ;ahk_class ExploreWClass
}
ExitApp

cleanup:
if (hEvent) {
DllCall("CloseHandle", "uint", hEvent)
hEvent = 0
}
if (hKey) {
DllCall("Advapi32.dll\RegCloseKey", "uint", hKey)
hKey = 0
}
ExitApp
return
}

main()

This would retain the border and taskbar colour but would set the Start Menu colour to sValue. A lot needs fixing, though, and that's assuming that there's not a simpler way of doing it.

I haven't checked out the Windows 10 TP ISO, nor do I plan to . First version I'd go to is the RC most likely, or at least a proper CP.

If the installation is anything like Windows 8/8.1, setting it up on a modern computer with UEFI is pretty easy. You just format a flash drive with FAT32, open the ISO in Explorer, copy the files over, and reboot! Then, enter the drive boot selection, and choose the UEFI USB entry, not the legacy one. No need for special tools or USB makers etc. The boot drive needs to be in GPT style. I'd actually recommend this for modern computers since it does actually boot differently ..

Ideally you use a good (good doesn't mean overly expensive) fast USB 3.0 USB device, and use a USB 3.0 port. Installation of Windows will then be super quick. Of course, that assumes the use of a SSD.

So this is setting some registry values, right?
Can you tell which ones exactly? I don't have experience with autohotkey so I guess Win10 will have RTM-ed by the time I find it out by myself
