Big 'X' Button cab/app - Page 2

JohnBecker · #11 (**permalink**) 03-09-2009, 08:16 PM

I just tried the DLL. It does give you the big X (or OK), but you have to turn off the Quick Menu in the Task Manager (Settings / System). It seems to take the same space, so it's just more visible, but doesn't seem to be any easier to hit (at least with my big thumbs)

It does change the WM Logo in the upper right to the white 6.5 icon as well and the wait icon to Vista's circle (with a black background)

if you want your start icon back, goto the custom taskbar thread and look on first page to pick what you want. the dll you need for start icon is shellres 192dll i think. ill look to make sure. edit, thats it. also first page tells you how to make your own. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=54514

I just assigned double click Enter to close active application.

How do I do that?

Use AEbutton plus

I installed AEButton and this looks like it will do the trick! I assigned double press to the "hang up" button to close applications.
I would still like to see an enlarged close button if anyone comes across one. Thanks!

Only certain roms have it named that [shellres.192.dll.0409.mui] in most its called shellres.192.dll rename it to that and try again in your windows folder.

You should also go into your windows folder first with totalcommander or something and find the original shellres.192.dll and rename it to shellres.192.dll.old first just in case you want to restore it later.

It is rather easy to make the "x" button bigger, however the problem is mapping out the pixel area in which you have to touch for it to exit programs. Replacing the the .dll will only make the image itself bigger it will not make it any easier to close programs. I personally have no problems touching the "x" button but I could see how some of the larger fingered people could have a problem

honestly, functionality wise the large x button is great, but fcuk the design is bad, so pixelated and nasty looking. Wish the design was better though
