Well, if you keep your original shell32 (always a good idea) then just switch back to it ...

can someone here make a gui replacer module for this please ??

im sure i already said this in another post but i will do this and have already nearly completed it. just that i was in need of some icons from mavis and he was sick and i asked him but didnt want to push him. if he can come good with the icons that i needed (hope he still has the list cause i have lost it) then in 4 weeks i can release it given i still have permission to do so, last time i checked i did. it has to be 4 weeks because that is when i get back from china to australia. sorry i cant do things any quicker. maybe if i run out of things to do later on in my trip and have the time to work on it then i will do it for sure.

cheers

Of course you still have permission! And I'm sorry I haven't been able to get those new icons to you - I will work on it over the next few weeks, and have everything ready for you by the time you return to Australia. I was sick, then really busy with the holidays/etc, and to be honest, a bit "icon'd out" ... lol. But I will get the icons finished for you!

:D

absolutely no problem at all mavis, please dont rush on my account just hope others understand thats all. im looking forward to making this complete because i not use this method to change my icons and would be great o have this set included in my collection. thanx heaps for everything man. if there are any extra icons you have then feel free to send em my way :) i will do the best i can to make this as complete as possible. also im waiting for version 2 of gui replacer to be released. so everything is up to date.

take care man glad your not sick now :)

cheers

    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
