Thx for the reply

i found some nice links But the only thing i realy looking for is a tutorial to

to edit the shell32

to replace it is no problem

thx

ok sorry i misunderstood.

umm if u still need help with editing that file and ur not in any rush pm me and i can give u the information when i return sunday nite aust. time. otherwise just in quick response. from what i saw in another post where some1 was helping you i think he gave u a resource listing for shell32.dll that showed what icon was what number. that is quite useful for preparing to replace the shell, saves heaps of time. the programs i use are ResHacker and Restorator. ResHacker is Freeware as far as i know but lacks the drag n drop feature of Restorator. i use both of them for different needs. there are other resource hacking programs around, have a look i guess and see what meets ur needs. o yeah.. if using reshacker go to icon group to replace icons not icon.

Restorator

ResHacker (Resource Hacker)

cheers mate!

really no more replies from me for now, lol. gonna be late :(

hey dreamweaverN sorry about that. i didnt make that file so i had no control over what version was used but thanx for bringing that to my attention. looks like i'll have to make a replacement of that file for the latest version. will only take a couple seconds. but i think you'll have to wait for mavis to get to me about uploading and till mavis has got it ready for everyone else to download.anyway will do the latest version of that file now.

cheers

Fizical

*** update ***

file done! =)

Ta for that! I must say the whole thing is great. Can't wait till those other files! :woot:

ok guys, I've uploaded all of the hacked system files from Fizical, and updated the download page of my website ...

Download the system files here: http://www.mavisxp.com/crystal

I am going to stop direct linking to the files here on the boards, because for some reason I am unable to go back and edit my posts - which means that if the files are updated, etc, it is impossible to go back and change the links I've provided in earlier posts. So, I'll just update the crystalMX website and post here as changes/additions are made ...

Anyway, the files are uploaded and ready!! Thanks again, Fizical! :)

thnx for the extra link mate :D
np ... ;)

I just checked my site stats - lol ... I'm getting hammered pretty hard. 1.2GB transfered in the past 7 hours and 40 minutes ... :blink:

Anybody up for some mirrors? :D ... I don't think I'll need it (I'm allowed 3GBs transfer per day) but just in case - is anyone willing to mirror the icon set if my site gets temporarily suspended? Like I said, I don't need it yet - just trying to plan ahead in case the site does go down for a few hours, etc ...

What is the name of the whistler looking VS you're using with them in the sshot? They go very well together! And a download link if you have one!! :D
That is WatercolorLite, you can find links to dl it here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=65112

I've been using this theme for about nine months, I've yet to find another which even comes close - it's almost perfect. And it matches the Crystal icons, so what more could I ask for? ;)

Ok, I've got WaterColor lite, but the sidepanels of the windows (like the left side of my computer) don't look the same as in the screenshot. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Yeah, you've got a newer version ... ;) check your PM ...

Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know that I've made a crystalMX IP theme, but I'm going to wait a couple of days before releasing it - my site is about to be disabled for exceeding my daily bandwidth cap (3GBs) so I want to wait until the traffic slows down on the main set before posting more stuff ...

These are coming from my cable connection so don't hammer me to hard or I'll have to take them down.

Icon Pack

Shell32

Shell Pack

Edit: Looks like Mavis's links are working again. I'm sure his are faster, but I'll leave these up awhile as backup.

The shell32 is meant to change your icons in your Start Menu as well. Did those change? Also, the copy/move/delete/internet download animations are changed. For the visual style, you have to get StyleXP (or the uxtheme.dll patch .. do a search around these forums) and apply the msstyles file, which you can get from here.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
