those icons are awesome!

i really would like to use them, but the set is just too incomplete for me at the moment! i think they will rule when the set is more complete, so that we have an (almost) complete shell32.dll (and other system files)! that would be so cool, because i love you work Cha!

Okay RayVN I need you to give me a list of the icons you would like done, I mean icons that you would actually see often when using your PC. There are tons of icons in the shell32 and other DLLs that I just don't see so I won't bother doing them. I think I'll definately do the Control Panel icons (category view) but what else?

I'm not sure if I should post this here, but I d/led the Icons, which are great I might add, but there's a few icons I can't seem to change, like My Music and My Pictures. Some others are the "My Hard Drive" icon and CD Drive icons. Can I please get some help w/ this? Thanks.

i tried oin the dll thing it didnt work

heres what i did

>extacted the modded dlls u made to a folder

>backed up my originals

>restarted in safe mode with command prompt

>logged in as admin

>tried to copy the files to system32

>got an overwrite dialog,chose yes

>it said that the files were in use in another process and hence cant be overwritten

any other way to go about it

I still use the Restorator method which is the fastest for me.

- Get "Restorator" resource hacker from http://www.bome.com/Restorator/.

- Make sure you either rename or delete the shell32.dll and shdocvw.dll files from your "%windir%\system32\dllcache" folder AND your (i think) "%windir%\ServicePackFiles\i386\" folder and make sure you don't have a Windows XP Install CD in any drive.

- Open my modded DLLs using Restorator

- Then replace one icon from each DLL file using an identical icon from the set I included. (Right-click on icon resources for the "assign to" options). So effectively you are not really changing anything in my modded DLL files, this just lets you save the updated DLL files.

- Click on the floppy disk icon in Restorator to save the DLLs and overwrite the original shell32.dll and shdocvw.dll files in your %windir%\system32\ folder. It will automatically make backups.

- You should then see the file protection warnings after a short pause. This means it worked.

- Reboot.

Sorry, you lost me totally on that ...

I extracted your modded DLL files to C:\Temp

I opened Restorator

Chose FILE/OPEN and browsed to Temp dir and chose shell32.dll from the shell32 folder

After that I am lost :(

Then replace one icon from each DLL file using an identical icon from the set I included. (Right-click on icon resources for the "assign to" options). So effectively you are not really changing anything in my modded DLL files, this just lets you save the updated DLL files.

I have attached a grab of Restorator window opened, what do I do from here? Sorry to ne a pain :(

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
