</gallery> | </gallery>Build [[Windows Vista build 5099|5099]] or later is required to upgrade to this build, but it is possible to upgrade from [[Windows Vista build 5098|5098]] by replacing the sources folder (excluding <code>install.wim</code>) from 5098 itself. | ||
==New features and changes== | |||
===Aero | ===Aero=== | ||
The [[Windows Aero|Aero]] theme gained a slight update from build 5098, featuring more distinct borders and fixed text color on some windows. Using a [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/566258736994451456/806127666583044106/uxss_patched.exe patched uxss.exe file created by LucasB for the x86 compile] or [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/566258736994451456/993053574944800849/uxss_5112_x64_patched.exe one by SeregaWin555 for the AMD64 compile], it is possible to initiate [[Desktop Window Manager|DWM]] with XPDM drivers. Otherwise, DWM could only be initialized with LDDM drivers, requiring the use of physical hardware with a LDDM-compatible graphics card (or a LDDM-compatible graphics card passed through to a VM using hypervisors such as [[QEMU]]). After replacing uxss.exe, navigate to <code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft</code>, create a new key called DWM, then create the following 4 DWORDs inside the key: | |||

After making these changes, log out then log back on to initialize DWM. If DWM still doesn't start automatically, kill <code>uxss.exe</code> process. | After making these changes, log out then log back on to initialize DWM.

=== | ===32-bit EFI support=== | ||
<code>winldfw.efi</code> and <code>winnvram.efi</code> were added in the x86 compile for EFI booting. To use it, partition the hard drive as MBR, with a FAT32 C: partition for EFI boot, and a NTFS D: partition for Windows, both primary partitions, and install the build in BIOS mode to D: as normal. After that, switch to EFI mode, and execute <code>fs0:\boot\winnvram.efi fs0:\boot\winldfw.efi blk2:\WINDOWS\ "Windows Longhorn" "/NOEXECUTE=OPTIN"</code> in an EFI shell to create a boot entry in the EFI boot manager, then try to boot into it.<ref>https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=443999</ref> If it fails, you may need to change the <code>blk2:</code> identifier to point to your Windows install. | |||
===Miscellaneous=== | |||
*Two new icons have been added to the desktop, one leading to a supplemental driver installer that simply installs drivers made for [[Windows XP]] that aren't ready to work on this build yet, while the other is a document talking about Avalon and Indigo. | *Two new icons have been added to the desktop, one leading to a supplemental driver installer that simply installs drivers made for [[Windows XP]] that aren't ready to work on this build yet, while the other is a document talking about Avalon and Indigo. | ||

==Bugs== | |||
===Installation=== | |||
Although this build can partition as intended during setup, the partitioning page doesn't refresh properly, requiring you to reboot your system in order to see the new partition. | |||

=== DWM | ===DWM=== | ||
On some configurations with patched <code>uxss.exe</code>, when <code>ForceSoftwareD3D</code> value is set to 0, the screen freezes (except for the cursor), until DWM is disabled, even if hardware acceleration is set to full. Along with that, if glass effects are enabled, there would be artifacts on non-[[File Explorer|Explorer]] window borders. | |||
