Go for it :D

#70513

Nice! I hope you won't go insane while replacing those zillions of icons :D

Dimensions: i'd like to have 16x16, 64x64 and eventually 128x128 (for dock)

Thanks in advance (Y)

#70514

Pleez can u do a 96x96, i find it the most appropriate size, where u can see the icons, and more than 1 icon at a time :D.

thanx, sounds realy cool, cant wait :canadian:

#70519

:woot:

Words cannot discribe the way I feel

Oh yeah, 48x48 please. Lets see what we do not have 24x24 and 32x32. Hehe.

#70521

Very good. I would be very happy to test this out for you, as im getting ready to reformat everything anyway. my system xpHE sp1 512ram 2.53 ghz. I presently have packs sysmod installed via crokas installer. Not sure how much of an issue this would be if any. This is NOT an installer is it, am I correct in assuming that these are the individual files?

If you would like me to go ahead and test this out please pm me and I will give you my email addy.

#70524

Well I'm just going to include every size for XP and then only the normal sizes for other color formats. Some icons are never displayed in certain sizes so those of course will just be their normal sizes.

If anyone has ever downloaded the AquaXP MSN Messenger skin from JabInc you'd notice it is like a 4mb file. However, if you actually open the files in ResHacker half of the graphics replaced in the files are just toolbar icons that will only be displayed in one size ever. JabInc was lazy and just replaced them with every size possible, thus making a huge download.

I don't mind doing the icon replacement because I've done it 3 times before when I last did this. The only thing I hate is when ResHacker sometimes corrupts my files when I save them too much. Although I've switched to Resource Tuner so now that should hopefully be fixed.

If you want to test the files before I release them please send me a message. Also, if you want non-SP1 files and can send them to me, message me and I will let you know where you can FTP them to. Otherwise don't complain if there are no files for non-SP1 systems, lol.

EDIT: I will include an installer, but it will not be a complete package. It will just be a single file like "setup.exe" in XP that will just access the individual files from a folder and copy them to their respective folders.

Something you all might be interested in as well is I have a hacked sfc_os file which controls Windows File Protection. If you replace the file on your system with the hacked file Windows will never display Windows File Protection dialogues asking you to insert the cd to replace the hacked file with the original.

Just put a link to the beta version here in the forum and I'm sure almost everyone will try and download it ;)

(make sure that you put BETA though to avoid flaming :D)

#70529

Unfortunately the BETA idea doesn't quite work well for stuff like this.

For one I'm only alloted so much bandwidth per month. I'd hate to kill bandwidth with the BETA and then no one would be able to download the final release.

If everyone downloads it, and there is a major flaw that just doesn't work right (toolbars gave me major problems last time I did this, but I fixed it) or a file is corrupt and causes the system not to boot (msgina.dll can do that), then that happens to everyone. Also, if I fix things everyone would have to download the zip files again.

Basically I just want to make sure everything is okay before everyone downloads the files. I wish I still had screenshots of when my files were installed before but they are long gone, and I haven't installed the files on my system in a long time.

#70615

My icons are 72x72. I realize you said you'll include every size, but since no one else requested this size, I didn't want them to get left out.

Thanks buddy

#70852

Well Panther is installing on my iBook as I write this so hopefully I'll be able to start working on the files tonight or tomorrow.

#70878

Flyakite,

Welcome back man...I'm not sure if you will even remember this, but back in May 03, when I was first getting 'hooked' and completely fascinated by the wonderful world of Mac emulations, you were kind enough to assist me with some of your AVI files (Candycane) progress bars, ect...

You instructed/educated me in using ResHacker, and lol making sure that I did not attempt to hack shell32.dll while still in use...Always putting a copy of the shell32 on my desktop and proceeding from there...

Being completely new/n00b at the time, you were a refreshing source of valuable info that I will never forget...:)

Will be following this thread closely, and for those new members, this man's work is very good!

Regards...

#71056

It'd be great to see 128x128 be included.

#71057

I may be able to help u on the files for xp sp1.

#71511

Alright. I FINALLY finished the guide I was working on for another site. If you care to see what has been consuming my time for the last 3 days straight take a look:

Creating a Multi-Boot DVD

I've now started working on the files. Expect a release hopefully tomorrow. The guides and installer and all that extra stuff will be completed afterward.

#71953

:bow:

#71977

This is a project worth keeping an eye on! Looking forward to developments! (Y)

#71978

For those interested, I am on the verge of being done. I only have shell32.dll left to hack which is what I'm working on now. After I'm finished and I do a test, hopefully a release will be out later today.

#72608

ALRIGHT. Finally, I am done with my files. Well, basically. Together, ALL of the files zipped are 30MB, so if anyone has can mirror the files that would be great. I want a couple of people to test them before I release a link, so if you want to contact me through here and I'll send you a link and tell you how to install them.

So far they're working great on my machine, but I want to make sure they work on other peoples as well.
