Open-Save dialog box icons have reverted back to XP Style

Flyaite changes the icons circled in red below to an aqua style. My seem to have reverted back though, somewhere along the way. I tried the system files restorer for Flyakite but it didn't seem to work. Or i didn't do it properly. Does anyone know how to get those icons back to their aqua style? Thanks.

Those icons are in comctl32.dll. I HATE those icons with a passion. God I hate them so much. I hate microsoft for the way they have implemented them. They are in the comctl32.dll files that are NOT in system32. Do not touch the ones in system32.dll. And the comctl32.dll file not in system32.dll appears multiple times, in odd folders (really odd) and the folders vary depending on the service pack etc. God I hate it so much.

It was a pain implementing into FlyakiteOSX, and I keep wanting to just remove it from the installer, but I hate removing stuff after it's been implemented because it upsets people, even they don't understand the problems associated with it.

If the system files updater doesn't work, try the Force System File Updater. I'm not sure if that file is in the force updater, but give it a try. Other than that, you can try hacking comctl32.dll, the one not in system32 folder. But.. ugh.. I hate it, I can't even say it enough.

Thanks Flyakite. But if comctl32.dll isn't in the system32 folder, which folder is it in?

You know you could do a search on the system easily .

Anyway though it's in WINDOWSWinSxSx86.... folders.

Glad I search the board... A forced update doesn't work (at least on my machine) and I thought I was going insane because it works all the time. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction... Greatly appreciated.

#428629

What exactly do you mean when you say "can't get it to work?" What problem did you encounter?
