freak_tj Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Hi :) First I want to say "sorry" for my bad english :) As you can see this is my first posting here in the neowin forum ... I have a question about customizing the windows classic theme. I just want to change the icon on the startbutton and the icons for "Loging Off" and "Shuting Down". How do I make that? I would be very grateful, if someone helps me :) I want that it looks like on this screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tran Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 You can change them within the shell32.dll. Use resource hacker or Microangelo Librarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzla Veteran Posted October 3, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 3, 2003 You can change them within the shell32.dll. Use resource hacker or Microangelo Librarian. Wrong, they're in explorer.exe. Here's the bitmaps for the logoff and shutdown as well as the custom flag. They're numbered and easy enough to replace: Download If you're unfamiliar with replacing system files: http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/ Replacer is your god.

freak_tj Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 Hi :) Can somebody tell me Step-By-Step how to to change the icon in the startbutton? It so difficult ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted October 3, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 3, 2003 Did you manage to change the logoff and turn off buttons? Instructions: * First of all copy explorer.exe to your desktop (It's in your windows folder) * Download Reshacker and open explorer.exe in it * In Reshacker go to action - replace bitmap and then browse for bitmap 176 which I uploaded and replace * Do the same for the other bitmaps * Save explorer.exe * Use Replacer to replace explorer.exe and remember to make a backup * Logoff and log back on (or restart) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett C Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Would it be that hard to make a MSStyle out of GANT Classic? It's quite pretty, and I think a lot more people would use it if it was easier to install. Make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
