Shell32.dll's only change the basic icons of XP but many are left out - documents and zip files and program icons and just a lot of things shell32's miss. Basically, the more files in a system pack, the better as the conversion will be more complete.

and the exe's?

all in system32?

I'm almost positive that cpl icons are in the shell32.dll. Most the the time system packs modify the .exe file themselves and are not stored in such a central location.

.cpl's are in your System32 folder.

it looks like the shell32.dll in the pack is older than the one on windows update.

gant pack - 6.0.2600.115

newest sp1 - 6.0.2600.1223

i don't know about the rest of the .dll's, but that one looks old.

please correct me if i'm wrong.

lol, my ver is 6.0.2800.1233 (the orig shell32.dll)

[Nathanael]

I have installed it and only thing that bothers me is that G.A.N.T. 2 text in log off and shutdown, anyone knows where I could get a BG without it?

sorry, you're right on the original shell32... but the version on the one in the pack is still old.

There is are some bugs with the icon size because of that :( :-\ .

[Bellerophon]

I have some majour bugs

My IE toolbar hasn't changed

My icons ( My Computer, Network and Trash Bin haven't changed

Some program icons haven't changed ( like word )

In my explorer the icons also didn't change

How to solve all these problems?

Replace shell32.dll, it seems you haven't.

Ive just checked n yea ive have a old version of the shell32 (I dont know why though Ive got a older version of the shell32) even though im fully updated, except for one update which is installed, but keeps prompting to be downloaded again n installed. Maybe its gotta do something with that.

Well I'll update it with the newer verison shell32 soon.

Bellerophon - try rebuilding ur cache

[Bellerophon]

I've replaced my shell32.dll , two times, and still it doesn't work

I've replaced every dll manualy and it still doesn't work :(

[aggrophobik]

Everything seems to be working fine on my end. I'll be on the lookout for the updated shell32 tho. Thanks for the hard work, Devil.

[meamog]

Bellerophon - to replace the toolbars and avi's and such, i had to reboot. Tried that?

[349857345]

How are you guys replacing these files btw ?

Ive used 2 different progs so far:

Restorer and Copylock , they both told me the files had been replaced, but havent ;) , oh and WFP is off btw

[Nathanael]

I have now changed the log off and restart images to remove the text :D .

EDIT:

And yes that is the jpg image, you will have to save it as bitmap before replacing.

EDIT2:

Seems pour quality will up in a different format soon.

EDIT3:

Replaced with a .jpg from PS CS with quality 12. Seems ok now.

Hi, anyone made Gant version of Office/Acrobat filetype icons ?

[Bellerophon]

Whell that's the strange thing, the avi's work, when I search a file, I see the gant style folders, but when I'm in explorer he shows them incorrect?

[349857345]

gawd dangit, its not working for me...Ive tried 3rd party progs, DOS! but ive still got the same old ****, oh but the AVIS work :woot:

[.weir]

Have any of u guys who can't get ur icons to change rebuilt ur icon chache with tweakUI?? Ur all asking noob questions, but I guess judging by ur post counts, it makes sense lol, anyway, download teakUi if you haven't already and rebuild ur icon cache and u should be fine.

[didamangi]

Great job ЀṾ ?? ???g?燎, than:)u very much :)

1 thing tho...

Am I doing something wrong here cause all other icons and avis are working great.

[damien316666]

ahh i get the same problem as didamangi....

[ЀṾ]

No, you havent done anyting wrong, Ive just checked n ive got that smudgy icon too. thats happened coz ive been using restorator to change the icons in some places so that i cud keep the size of the shell32 down as well as keep performance high.

Will look into it, thanx :)
