[QUOTE=Teh_Cheese;18133862]you tell that to safari. wee brushed metal is so not outdated! [editline]12:02PM[/editline] Also: Going to take a assumption that it's safe to delete a old windows 7 RC windows folder off a old HDD, right? It's not like I'm gonna use it, I have Windows 7 retail now.[/QUOTE] The last time safari used brushed metal was in about 2007 tbh.
[QUOTE=Teh_Cheese;18134396]Okay, thanks. [editline]12:39PM[/editline] Apparently I can't delete it because... [img]http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/99594/SADFACE1.png[/img][/QUOTE] Move steam out of the Windows.old folder and shutdown SVN.
[QUOTE=Roast Beast;18135040][B]Move steam out of the Windows.old[/B] folder and shutdown SVN.[/QUOTE] Balls that's gonna take long. Thanks though.
[QUOTE=Teh_Cheese;18135463]Balls that's gonna take long. Thanks though.[/QUOTE] If you move it somewhere on the same drive then cut/paste should only take seconds.
[QUOTE=Roast Beast;18136343]If you move it somewhere on the same drive then cut/paste should only take seconds.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I reinstalled my OS yesterday and didn't format so I would have all my stuff still here. anyway it only took about 5 seconds to move my 130GB steamapps folder from windows.old to the new location.
[QUOTE=Factory;18071491]How Do I change the steam Pinned logos?[/QUOTE] Make a new shortcut to steam on the desktop. Change the icon like normal. Pin to taskbar.
[QUOTE=gparent;18134227]Already done in 3.5![/QUOTE] In both Windows and OS X Firefox 3.5 looks awful. they are both so close to looking nice, but they go and ruin it by doing something stupid, like the awful blue grey on vista/7, and breaking the gradient from the head of the window to the bookmark bar in os x

Windows 7 totally copies the Mac's style
[QUOTE=gerard;18139478]Windows 7 totally copies the Mac's style[/QUOTE] they copied it so much there's a folder called panther in system32!!!!111 The taskbar was like this before, in Windows 1.0. Everything else is just vista, which Mac actually sorta copied (By making their main bar at the top and other things semi-transparent after vista's release).
Well, I'm on windows 7 now, and loving it. One thing though, I put panda's smooth theme in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and double click on it and then it just disables aero and puts me in classic mode >:( How do I fix that?

Ahhg, why didn't I think of that. Thanks a bunch.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;18129465]greasemonkey scripts suck anyway[/QUOTE] haha funny.
[QUOTE=Teh_Cheese;18141403]Ahhg, why didn't I think of that. Thanks a bunch.[/QUOTE] You're welcome. I found an auto patcher by googling, btw.
[QUOTE=Hmn30;18141421]You're welcome. I found an auto patcher by googling, btw.[/QUOTE] UxStyle, right? Used it before, loved it. Thanks for reminding me. [editline]06:45PM[/editline] annnd it works.
[QUOTE=Teh_Cheese;18141445]UxStyle, right? Used it before, loved it. Thanks for reminding me.[/QUOTE] No, I think I just downloaded the first result that was UniversalThemePatcher, but I'm gonna check UxStyle out, thanks.
[QUOTE=Hmn30;18141476]No, I think I just downloaded the first result that was UniversalThemePatcher, but I'm gonna check UxStyle out, thanks.[/QUOTE] UXStyle is made by the guy who makes the patches, so it should be good.
loving this so much
XP mode is so fucking slow. I have an old celeron PC from 2002 and it can run XP and 5 applications at once 1000x faster than my main rig can with one program on XP mode. I hope the RTM version of XPM is faster, downloading it now.
I have to agree with you there, XP mode is [I]horrendously[/I] slow. Also Jimmy I hate to bug ya about it, but have you made any progress on the device stage program?
[QUOTE=Teh_Cheese;18142827] Also Jimmy I hate to bug ya about it, but have you made any progress on the device stage app?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Jimmy422;18112079]It's having issues with saving stuff correctly right now, so i'm still working on it.[/QUOTE] .
Well then, it appears I cannot read.
Would Windows 7 be compatible with a Windows XP network? I.E. will I still have my internet if I switch my OS to Windows 7?
[QUOTE=STREWTH_99;18152128]Would Windows 7 be compatible with a Windows XP network? I.E. will I still have my internet if I switch my OS to Windows 7?[/QUOTE] What kind of question is that? Of course you will still have internet.
[QUOTE=Veers;18152586]What kind of question is that? Of course you will still have internet.[/QUOTE] What I meant was would the whole home network have to be reconfigured if I switch to Windows 7, because my folks are worried that if I switch to windows 7 my internet connection will stop working until they reconfigure the network settings and whatnot.

Long answer: if it's ethernet then it will automatically connect like every other OS, if it's wireless then you just have to enter the wireless password like normal. And technically your internet connection can't be called an "XP network", since the connection itself is OS-independent.
I just recieved Windows 7 Home Premium with the rest of my PC! [IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/2430ms6.jpg[/IMG]
Cool, I just got Dell's Windows 7 Upgrade disc for my laptop in the mail today. Seeing as how it comes with its own product key, could I use this on my desktop running Windows Vista Home Premium, or is it only going to work on my laptop?
