Guest whybkuul Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 how easy would it be to convert this icon into a 16x16 *.bmp file? i want it as the pic for the start button. can anyone give a little help? the icon is the woman by Genesis. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation.php?id=109046 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted January 26, 2002 Veteran Share Posted January 26, 2002 generally, it should be really easy. the only thing is 16x16 is small, and some icons are just too complicated for that size. ciao! joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correllium Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 I saved it as a bmp, 24 bit w/ alpha using Gif Movie Gear. Is it what you wanted? http://members.fortunecity.com/correllium/...p/00_genny1.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napes22 Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 On the same topic. How do you change the text in the start button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whybkuul Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 to corellium: thanks! it's exactly what i wanted. thank you for the quick reply also. the background will be transparent correct? to napes22: -using reshack, open explorer.exe. -navigate to "string table" open up string 37, and click on 1033. -on the right side you'll see some text. -delete the start, and replace it with whatever you want. -now save this as explorer.exe to a different directory than windows. -time to reboot -start tapping F8 as soon as windows starts rebooting. -choose to restart using command prompt -login as admin -chage dir to windows, and rename explorer.exe explorer.bak -change dir to the one you saved your hacked copy to. -copy explorer.exe c:windowsexplorer.exe -this file already exists, do you want to overwrite? Y!!! -exit -reboot -Congratulations, you've now taken your first step to customizing windows. p.s. if you need a copy of reshack, go here: http://www.programmersheaven.com/zone16/ca...at287/16956.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correllium Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 I'm not 100% sure if it will but it is a 32 bit bmp so it should, no promises though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted January 26, 2002 Veteran Share Posted January 26, 2002 you don't need to do the whole rebooting-safe mode thing. just end the explorer.exe process with reshack still open, then you can save explorer.exe because it's not in use. then you just start a new task and select explorer.exe. much simpler imho. ciao! joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
