New features and changes[edit | edit source]

Sample Pictures[edit | edit source]

The previously used set of sample pictures (with the exception of the Winter forest wallpaper) was replaced with the finalized set which includes the Blue hills, Sunset and Water lillies wallpapers. The previously mentioned Winter forest wallpaper has also had its resolution upscaled to 800x600, with it itself being renamed to just Winter.

Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]

The classic Windows flag used in the about dialog for Internet Explorer and Outlook Express was updated to use the XP flag.

Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

The "chess" user account picture is replaced by the CHESS.BMP wallpaper from Windows 3.0 in its original resolution. This is also present in build 2481 (main) and build 2481 (idx01).
