Thanks for the good comments everyone. I appreciate it. :)

To convert the files:

1. Find each file on your system (windows key+f) for this purpose we'll just say we're doing Shell32 (but you need to redo every file included in the rar)

2. Open the Shell32 on your system in Reshacker

3. Goto the icon group tab, and find the first icon group. Right click > Replace Resource

4. Open file with new icon and choose the Shell32 included in my pack.

5. On the left hand side, select the icon number that corresponds with the icon number your replacing (1 to 1, 456 to 456, ect.)

6. Move onto the next Icon group and repeat.

7. Save the file to a seperate folder as the same name.

8. Repeat until you've done each file included in my pack.

9. Copy the readmes and install.bat to the new folder.

10. Take a screenie, show it to me and wait for my approval via PM. :D

Note: Shell32.dll and shdocvw.dll need AVIs replaced in addition to icons, but you go about it the same way you do icons.

If you think this is tedious, try finding each icon indivdiually in the GANT pack (and sometimes Umicons pack) and replacing them. :p

And DiGiTaL DrEaMeR is right, you get those using YzToolbar. You can download YzToolbar here and the theme I used here.

I just rebuilt GANT for WindowsXP Pro SP1, shell32.dll. I ran into one problem. In Shell32.dll for WindowsXP, some icon is specific for only 4/8 bits colour, unlike the original Windows 2003, which use all 32bits colour icon. Anyone know how to change it or any suggession?..... btw, it's just a few(around 20 icon) that use 4/8bits colour, the rest work very well.

I have 2 options, first force to use GANT icon at only 4/8bits colour or just leave the original icon that need 4/8bits colours..... any idea?

i'd made a gant shell32 a while ago but didn't want to say much about it since i never had any sweet avi's to go with it.

this shell32 was HUUUUUGE since it includes the 256px icons and has GANT replacements for some icons that xp doesn't even use anymore (or at least, that i never see used), but it's quite nice. good job with the avi's

I think he meant AVI files. :cool:

Anyway, I just try my XP SP1 built.... it look great. I have to choose to leave those 4/8bits icon as original. Forcing GANT icon into 4/8bits colour look not so good.

Haha, it is pretty big. :blush: But that's just how the icons are. I figured with hard drives being 80 gigs these days, 30 more megs wouldn't make much of a diffrence. ;)

And the SP1 release date is out of my hands, guys. Whoever does it properly and asks me for permission first is when it will happen (if anyone ever does it).

      yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration

    • Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a bunch of Dolby Atmos soundbar deals with several ones from Sony, as well as from JBL, Samsung, Polk Audio, and more. You can check them out in this dedicated piece. Those are not audiophile category speakers though as they are built with home theater use in mind. If you are searching for the former then Edifier has its S3000MKII at its lowest price at the moment (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is a two-way bookshelf monitor speaker designed to produce accurate sound. While it may not produce the best high-fidelity audio possible out there, it should still be significantly better than what you will get on soundbars of this price range. As such it will do justice to high-res audio played back through it. The only thing that may feel lacking is sub-bass as Edifier claims the unit can go down to 38 Hz, which should be enough for studio monitor purposes, but not for deep room-shaking rumbling bass. Where this does excel though is in its treble reproduction. With its super-tweeter, it claims to go as high as 40 kHz in the frequency spectrum, which should offer a sense of "air"yness. This is an active speaker which means it packs its own amplfication. It has a top-notch Class D amp that may be able to rival many Class AB designs too in terms of sound reproduction quality. The technical specs of the Edifier S3000MKII are given in the table below: Specification Value RMS Output Power 256W RMS (Treble: 8W × 2, Mid-Low: 120W × 2) Tweeter Driver 107mm × 107mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter Mid-Low Driver 6.5-inch (179mm) Long-Throw Aluminum Diaphragm Driver Frequency Response 38Hz – 40kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 85dB (A) Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth Codec Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Wireless Speaker Link Proprietary 5.8GHz wireless connection between speakers Supported Hi-Res Audio Hi-Res Audio Certified, up to 24-bit/192kHz Digital Processing XMOS XU216 Digital Signal Processor Audio Inputs Balanced XLR, Optical, Coaxial, USB Type-B, Line In, Bluetooth Input Sensitivity (USB) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Optical) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Coaxial) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Bluetooth) 450 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Balanced XLR) 1000 ± 50mV Input Sensitivity (Line In) 600 ± 50mV ADC Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DSP Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DIX Capability Up to 24-bit/216kHz DAC Capability Up to 32-bit/384kHz XMOS Processing Power Up to 2,000 MIPS Edifier S3000MKII Audiophile Active (Powered) Wireless Speakers: $799.99 (Sold by Edifier US, Shipped by Amazon US) If you do not have the kind of budget to spend on the S3000MKII, you can also check out the Edifier R1280Ts which is right now on sale at just $114 (its lowest price in a very long time).
