Gant 2 GUI Replacer

[Wildies]

Man I found some another Icons thats didnt change , like when clicking on file , in the file and folder tasks the Rename and move and delete file icons are the same windows default ones .

Hope u fix this too in ur upcoming release . :)

[fukachu]

ok i'll add that to a list of things to do, i noticed the delete one a few days back. but not the others. thanx for helping out there. umm im not sure what would make a good icon for the rename section tho?? i can make the folder with arow one but rename??

keep up the bug reports, want this to be as complete as this program will let me do.

btw does any1 know how to stop windows putting another picture over the top of a file. eg if you look in say your windows directory or sumtin there will be a file and a big white box with a picture of notepad icon inside. how do you stop windows putting that over the top? it happens whenever i've replaced icons through this program or replacer.

Man, too bad this didn't work for me. For some reason teh shell32 didn't change at all. And possibly some other files didn't change either. I have no clue why...

XP Home SP1.

Windows File Protection is off.

But uh, choose white(peace) for the open folder action. Looks real nice. :)

No idea dude sorry :no:

TwiztedCam Same with me, i downloaded the last update and only 3 o 4 icons change in the start menu and no one in the desktop. So i back to firts version

[Wildies]

Man U can use this Icons for the Rename option .

This is the JPG Image , i can send u the Png one. its from miniGANT package.

[fukachu]

thanx for the suggestion man, will use that for sure. im sureprised you guys had troubles with the second version very strange. if you do have problems when i update next let me know if there are any errors in the install info in the program.

but i do want to persist with this and the color variations. there will be all the color versions also.

as im waiting on gant 2 blue avis i cant start work on similar colored versions. jerome thinks he'll have them out next week so expect the blue pack to be updated next week with the avi files and the little fixes for the icons. if jerome doesnt release these avi files until wednesday australian time then im not going to be able to get a weekend up until that weekend because i will be away for the remainder of the working week. sorry guys.

im quite confused why it doesnt work so some and not others with no apparent reason. hopefully shacal will appear and release a new version of his program soon and it will work for everyone. i'll probably try and get in contact with him soon to see if i can get any information out of him.

im working on umicons atm also and waiting for permission also but im slowly getting less and less time for these so updates will be less frequent in a weeks time or so.

keep the feedback and suggestions comming.

i had a problem, when i changed the files the folder icons and other stuff didnt change i already rebuild the icon cache a couple of times but nothing :/

[syphern]

Nothing happens for me, i installed it twice, rebuild the icon cache like 10 times but still nothing please can someone help me.

system:

Clean formatted Win XP Home SP1 using the latest Autopatcher

Using Tweak UI 2.10 Powertoy to rebuild the cache...

Please any help would be great?

[fukachu]

guys to be honest i cant understand why it isnt working for you, i dont seem to see any pattern as to why it works so some and not others. but i do know when i release they are tested by me first and if they are working i upload. all i can suggest is maybe uninstall the program, restart install again and see if it works that time and make sure u have version 1.4 if that doesnt help then you will just have to wait until shacal releases version 2 of the program. i will probably send him an email tomorrow asking what has happened to him and when he is going to release that already overdue version 2. im very sorry guys i wish there was something i could do to help you out but its not my program.

all i can say is wait until the next version of it, which will come in the next week, probably next weekend as im away half the time this comming week. i will go VERY well through the module and make sure there are no errors on my system and everything works. then i will upload and hopefully for those of you that dont have it working it will be working then. im very sorry for this.

PLEASE those of you having trouble after the install of the module, dont restart. go through the installer info (that display box that shows tyhe process) and post anything where it says error, if u find anything put it into a text document and send to [email protected] that way i can look at it and see where the problem is. ofcourse if there are no errors then we got a problem.

[Tempest]

First: Thanks Fizical! I don't know which of your modules to use! Amazing!

Second: I haven't had a problem with any of this...the whole process was smooth as glass.

[fukachu]

thanx tempest, appreciate the comments really.

i know what i do isnt very technical and doesnt require much graphical skills but i know putting the time into these things and releasing them its really good to see people appreciate it, means a lot.

on your second point, this is what im talking about, works for some not others and i have no idea why. but hopefully i can find the problem, i hope!

[Maverick]

Yeah mine worked flawlessly too, I just haven't posted a comment yet. :p

It was my first time using GUI Replacer so I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I watched the display box going through all the necessary steps and no errors for me! :D

[machorro]

here are the errors i get... :/

ERROR! - file "msie.exe" not found

ERROR! - file "sshelper.dll" not found

except for that everything is fine...

[AcdShdw]

how do i refresh my icons, after reboot only like half of the icons show properly, when i use explorer they work but start menu and when i go to my computer and stuff only half the icons are displaying the right module

use Tweak UI, under the repair menu repair the icons and that should do it... :p

[fukachu]

hey machorro thanx for your reply, much appreciated.

i knew about the sshelper.dll problem but i was too lazy to fix it on last release as it had no real effect, that file has little impact on the changes. im guessing the msie.exe was a typo on my part that im going to have to hunt down and fix up cause i cant even find that file on my computer, lol. that will be fixed on next release.

both of these problem however should have no effect whatsoever on your shell32.dll so all i can conclude at this stage is it is a problem with the program. eg on DT a guy there couldnt get it working on german SP1 and another guy said he had no problems on german SP1 so i really cant see why this is happening. but as i stated i will write shacal today and hope for a reply soon on where he has disapeared to.

cheers

[machorro]

sure no problem, well i hope that with the next version it gets fixed :happy:

i'll wait... ;) :p

[Max[pt]HaVoX]

Fizical, 1 question please:

Ive been trying to use one of your themes from GUI replacer and ive notice that it doesn't change the taskbar only the icons and that after using Tweak UI (previous post: ty) ...

How do i do to change the taskbar? do i have to use other program? other than GUI Replacer that is...

Thank you in advance ...

(i'm such a nOob :rolleyes: )

[Wildies]

Man changing the Taskbar need Themes u got it from here on neowin , we have great artist here.

whats Fizical do is just changing the Icons Only Not the Taskbar.

[joao]

Even after tweakui's repair cache i can't get the removable drive GANT icon , is it conception flaw (it's ok to say that the author just forgot it) or is i my computer's problem?

(using XP with SP1 and SU1)

Thanks in advance.

[AOXOMOXOA]

hey Fizical..

this program rocks... very cool thanks

[fukachu]

first of all thanx for comments :D

second taskbar icons?? which ones are you talking about that you want changed? cause if they are icons then i can prolly change them but i need to know where the resource is located.

from memory joao the removable drive icon is the one i used for gant melancholy because i couldnt find a replacement for it, which is a drive with a usb symbol on it. however im not 100% sure if it is replacing it correctly as i dont ahve a removable drive :s so if you say it isnt working then its my bad and i may need to find the correct file where this is stored on the system. its probably my bad because i think the script for it i left out but the icon is there, lol. sorry. but i would worry too much because it just wouldnt fit in anyway. if you like take a screenshot of what exactly your talking about and let me know so i can try and hunt it down. if some1 knows where the icon is stored in system files then let me know :)

[devilman2590]

Hmm... doesn't seem to work for me I disabled Windows File Protection, but olny some of the icons change :|

Thanks for being interested in helping me out :)

I've opened shell32.dll with reshacker and i found the icon with the folowing numbers in the replace icon windows: 8, 233, 305.

Thanks in advance.
