AOL to that! Just look at the DOS (command shell) colors in my attachment. Is it possible to keep the black background with white/grey text when using XPize?

I might look further into this when i get back home. Nice post.

Open up the dos command shell (cmd.exe) and right click on its system icon (top left icon), then choose: "Properties". There you can change the whole look.

eg: "Colors-tab" and change the colors to:
Foreground: 192 192 192
Background: 0 0 0
Popup Foreground: 128 0 128
Popup Background: 255 255 255

All that stuff is simply saved in the registry btw:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console


btw, FYI, the colors used in the XPize for this are based upon the old and very popular color scheme of programming languages like Borland's Turbo Pascal. So the colors used in XPize for this aren't a 'randomly' choosen set from the author; they come from somewhere and have a big history behind it

I like it more FlyaKite... I think that folders and icon's are more mmm nice ^^...

i had to do a system restore on it cus my pc wasnt startin and had to get rid of it

It lost me 4 days ..... i had to sit and format my pc and my pc was not accepting windows
When i put in the xp cd and tried to install xp on a formatted c drive the 1st step (copying of /windows) was ok then it reboots. Then it should start the second part but it used to start at step 1 again It took 4 days to install windows .... that too i had to call my pc tech to do it
I aint gonna install it again

I am just gonna stick to the basic win xp sp2 with the awesome foton vs
