Updating the partition icons gradually. I think the icons look right at 16x16 size. The icons that are 25x25 size look oversized compared to the rest tbh.
I agree. Looking at it myself, I assume Refresh, New and Extend are the 25x25 icons and yes they do look noticeably oversized.
25x25 picture size doesn’t mean to fully fill that place @UsefulAGKHelper Don’t forget few dialog fixes that I added to upcoming version. MS created this setup engine design like 15 years before and for example Next button is always on first setup screen on different place. And more objects was resized in that case. So best to create icons that perfectly fit with text label instead following full size.
can we replace the windows 7 mouse cursor in winpe with the windows xp cursor/vista pe mouse cursor (aka "none")?
It looks better if icons are 16x16 sized. I still need to know if you can find me references of the rest of the smaller icons with XP's style. On partition selection tab, I can replace the icon with bigger XP-size disk drive icon.
You can always create your own RES patches. In XP2ESD I will never replace default cursor as is used for deploying all Windows version. It's enough to have whole setup design.
@George King I was wondering if the timeout bug after XP installation can be fixed. Once XP finishes, the boot timeout should be to XP's default value (at 30 seconds) just before the last restart happens. What happens instead is that the timeout still remains at 0 (or any value lower than 30) even after installation is finished (consistent with former versions of XP2ESD), I have to set re-edit the boot.ini file to re-adjust it manually every install. Code: [boot loader] timeout=0 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows="Windows XP" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect C:\cmdcons\bootsect.dat="Windows XP Recovery Console" /cmdcons
@George King This is what the Standard Setup with the resource files from your XP2ESD 1.6.3 pack looks like. Don't forget to update the image's location on Standard Setup too with the same location number.
@George King I don't know if the "/SupportedOSList:XP_X64,Server2003_X64" parameter is really broken, or if signatures work differently on 5.2 64-bit Windows OS.
Maybe the problem is related to how NT 5.2 makes signatures, the 5.2 windows kernel may not create signatures in the same way that NT 5.1 does.
These signatures works in all Windows version except 5.2. When you right click signed CAT or SYS file, you can see signture is OK. Only thing is driver installing where is still not recognized..
@George King XP-styled partition icons are almost done. Btw, the setup only uses the icons from the icon group. I just discovered that basically all you would have to do is put the respective XP icon's Icon Group from XP's shell32 to replace the vista icon's Icon Group by changing the number on the XP res to match the one from xpwizimg.dll. I thought it wouldn't work but it works because Icons rely on Icon Group to function, unlike bitmaps.
