Hi!
Your actual ROS-Notepad Icons is absolutly the same like that on Windows-Vista.
On March 2006 there was already something like that, there you used a WinXP-notepad-icon, what I sayd at http://www.reactos.org/pipermail/ros-dev/2006-March/007932.html
The new icon, what you then choosed looks very like MS-Windows, but it wasn't a icon from Windows until WinXP.
But now I have looked at Windows Vista (in a Virtual machine and on real hardware in an Internetcafé which I know) and there I see, that the ROS-notepad icon and the Windows-Vista Notepad icon are completely the same!
But, existing at first the Vista icon or at first the ROS-icon??? What me wonder is, that the icon was in ROS before the first betas of Vista where out...
And btw: For all the people who have still not seen Vista: It is the biggest crap I have ever seen. I hope ROS 1.0 looks more like WinXP then like Vista.
- In Vista you can not run DOS-programs. But in C:\windows\system32 there are files like edit.com and edlin.exe. But if you want to run it, there comes a window: That there eixting a problem with this programs. If you want to continue or abort. If I choose contine, then Vista hangs up.
- The german version of Windows have also the English-Filenames: C:\Program Files\ C:\User\ .. which you can easily see in the command-window (dos-box). but the Explorer shows for the user translated names like C:\Programme\ C:\Benutzer\ and there is a a possibility, if you are in such a directory to see in the address-field of the explorer the real directory name. But at first you see the wrong one.
- The games like minesweeper wants D3D hardware-driver, to run fast enough.
- the happy colors of XP don´t existing there. All is in black. Black here, black there. The only other look and feel is the look of Win2000.
- The icons on the desktop are all very big, for me too big. In the explorer on the other side the icons are per default small, that you can´t see what a symbol it is ... 16x16 or so icons.
- If you have a 64bit Windows you can not see, which programs are 32bit and whgich 64 bit. In the name it stand there if you run it. There stands in the "about"-window something like "I am a 64 bit window program". But you can also develop a 32bit window program, which says, that it is 64bit. You can not see, if it is right or not. With Linux - on the other side -, the command "file" do not show only information about the Linux-format files, if you have a 32bit or 64bit program, it shows also, if you have a 32bit or 64bit Windows *.exe file. Additional it says if the *.exe-file is completly of native-code (so, that WINE could run it for example), if it is completly .net-code (so that Mono could run it on Linux for example) or if it include native and .net code mixed like some developer do it with Visual C++.net / managed C++. There you can mix native and .net code and neither WINE nor Mono can run this files. The games of Vista are such files with mixed code.
Windows XP is _much_ better then Windows Vista!!

This icon was taken from catch22.org sometime around the beginning of Jan'05. It was certainly not taken from Vista.
I will make a close comparison of our icon and the vista icon and if they are indeed the same, I can only assume there was some sharing going on unbeknown to us.
If this is the case, I'll change the icon we use.

Have a look at the taskmanager process list - you can easily see which programs running in 32 bit mode - they are marked with *32.

I've been lurking for a while, but I'm running Vista right now so I figured I might as well pipe up and clear up a few things here.

They run fine for me on 32-bit Vista Business...

You can change the colors of Aero Glass (although in the case of the taskbar it only gives a colored tint to the black...) and if you turn off Aero Glass, the default fallback is "Vista Basic", which is light blue and more similar to the XP style.
- The icons on the desktop are all very big, for me too big.
Right-click, View -> Classic Icons.
In the explorer on the other side the icons are per default small, that you can´t see what a symbol it is ... 16x16 or so icons.
Use the "Views" slider to resize these icons.
