Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks! Same old BoS, but now with a FULL start menu, including ALL of your programs from Explorer! Also, there are now constants for the path to your desktop and start menu folders! With all the features of the previous bos' - translucent windows, alpha shadows, desktop icons, skins, integrated popup messaging, an integrated skin downloader and more!

It's BoS - New and inproved with a new integrated skin downloader, Planet Source Code "Newest Code" ticker, built in popup messaging (send a message across the internet or a lan to any computer and it appears instantlly!), and more bugfixes! Plus, you can download a bonus skin for BoS using the integrated skin downloader: Go to Start > Settings > Bos Settings, click "Install..." next to the skin box. If you make any skins for BoS (see the skin creation readme), I'll upload them so they appear in the "Skin Installer" box.
It's here! B2 is BoS 2.0. A shell is a program that replaces your taskbar, desktop icons, and start menu with better looking, more functional versions. B2 is no exception. Features include: Skinnable taskbar and menus (3 skins included), animated, scrolling, translucent menus with alpha shadows (even on Windows 98), QuickLaunch tray for frequent functions, shutdown, find, programs, favorites, documents, help, and settings menus, desktop menu, tear off menus (drag the menu titlebar to make it into a window), resizable, movable, docking taskbar, and lots more! NOTES: Be sure to copy Alphablending.dll and ccrpTmr6.dll to your \windows\system folder. B2 is released under the GPL. Please read Copying.txt if you wish to distribute B2 or use code from it. Also, B2 ONLY RUNS on Windows 98, ME, or 2000.People must love my code! Three awards for the same code, it's rediculous! However, thanks anyway to everyone who voted. (My not-so-secret plan is to win the award again in December :-)
*** Note: The B2 preview release will only run on Windows 98 / Windows ME (not tested) / Windows 2000. Many features have not yet been implemented. Be sure to copy Alphablending.dll to your C:\windows\system directory. Move the taskbar to the top of the screen before running for maximum usability.*** BoS is back... As B2. The BSoft Team (Florian and I) decided to COMPLETELY REPROGRAM the entire shell from the ground up - and this is the result. For starters, now all the images are external, dropping the size of the EXE to only 64K (that's 250K smaller than explorer), and allowing the shell to load up in under 3 seconds. The desktop icons have been moved to a new desktop icon menu, and a new QuickLaunch tray allows for quick launching of frequentlly used programs. Translucent tool tips are now implemented. B2 now automaticlly detects your desktop directory, so you don't have to edit a variable. Being that this is a preview release, some features are missing. For one, no BApps or extra skins have been included. Also, the start menu is missing functionality. Look for the full version in October.

This is a class module that allows a "Rebar", or an Internet Explorer style toolbar to be made. It subclasses the Rebar and can trigger events when the rebar is moved, resized, clicked, mouse moved, and a lot more. The rebar can hold any VB control, even UserControls. THIS IS NOT MY CODE! I am simply passing Ramon's code, which can be found at www.zonecorp.com His code made this sample possible! You can e-mail Ramon at Ramon@Zonecorp.com
Laser 3D 2 includes all the features of the popular Laser 3D Effect, as well as three new transitions: Wierd draw, Weird Draw Slow, and Printer Scan. The code was translated, and FULLY COMMENTED (every line!). You must see this to believe it!
BoS is a complete desktop replacement. It replaces your desktop icons, taskbar, system tray, and start menu with customizable, translucent versions. BoS also has AOL Instant Messaging built in, and a lot more. BoS inculdes four skins: BoS Standard, Green Shades, Red Shades, and BMac. Additional skins can be downloaded with the integrated skin downloader! *** Note: BoS is for Windows 98 and Windows 2000 only. Be sure to put Alphablending.dll in your \windows\system directory. Alphablending.dll will not register with rcreg32 ***
