Right now all the Server 2003 files total 162 MB. The Shell32 alone is 106 MB.

An SP1 port would be about the same size.

Why not use the lite packs instead?? There is no need really to use the icons that are 256x256 or whatever the size is. By using the lite pack u will greatly reduce the file sizes.

And it is the same icons in both packs, only difference is the max size.

i agree.. who *really* needs 256x256 icons??? if they DO, then im sure its for 10-15 icons max, which they can set on their own anyway using IP or whatever..

128x128 is MORE than enough for everyone who wants true quality, and even then, i'd think is way too big..

for myself, 48x48 is really the largest ill ever see them.. but at 128, the size would be twice as less, and thats always a plus.. (Y)

just something for the person porting them to SP1 to think about..

while we on that, who IS porting them right now? cuz if everyones waiting for someone else to do it, then i doubt we'll get them soon.. :whistle:

I never knew the 256x256 icons ported into the Shell32. Are you sure they do?

I'm not pleased with the file size myself, and it's very messy for my tastes (I'm a perfectionist). Eventually I'll get around to redoing everything and cleaning up icons that don't really need to be there. Until then, this is all I have to offer.

Yes, they do have 256x256 32bits icon in those Shell32.dll (Windows 2003). The one I rebuilt for XP-SP1(Shell32.dll) is only 12.1MB.

Hi jlund, if it OK if I post Shell32.dll for WindowsXP Pro SP1 rebuilt from your Shell32.dll? Let me know, if it's ok, I will post it.

Thanks,

Hi jlund,

I saw the picture you post, it look like you replaced the the original Tools bar icon(204.bmp-217.bmp) in Shell32.dll with GANT icons. But when I open your Shell32.dll, I didn't find any change in the Bitmap session. I'm wondering how can you make the GANT tools bar without replace those Bitmap?

I'm looking to make a perfect one for WindowsXP SP1 with all GANT icons in both Icons and Bitmap session. I try to make one myself, but the problem is the background on those icon(204.bmp-217.bmp) is not transparent. I'm not sure how to make it transparent. I already try to make the background in black color(0,0,0) like the original one, but it's still not working. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks,

As mentioned before, the icons you're talking about were replaced using Y'z Toolbar. I didn't worry about them.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
