Looking great, and more compliments of that kind..

dude! it's really sweet :)

I have a request though, something I read in a previous post,

an icon set for widly used program's (or every program j00 like ^_^) and maybe some file-types (I'm hating the "word file-type")

I'm impressed and overwhelmed by your creations -respect-

MarcoAntonio, where did you get that wall? Anychance of a link as it seems to match pretty well :) ... Currently I'm stuck using an wall from themexp called Chaninja Dragon but the colour scheme is wrong, unless anyone whos good at photoshop can convert it to more of a 'SubZero' colour gradient.

BeLGaRaTh:

Cheers for the link Marco ... Hmm just noticed I dont have the Nunchaks either in my explorer window, but I do in Control Panel ... strange.

did you maybe change the default color wor window backgrounds?? That will keep them from showing up. If not what color sheme are you using and can you post a screen shot if so I can probably tell you the problem.

:)

I am using chaninja style with the SubZero colour scheme. Not too sure what you meant by changing default window backgrounds colour, so I assume I havent changed since I dont know what it is or how to do it :)

I have attached a pic of what Explorer shows and there is no nunchaks in the bottom right like there is in Control Panel etc.

Thanks for any help/advice.

Belgarth you should only get nunchucks in special folders like the search folder & picture/sound/movie folders. There is no way to make one appear in the standard folders. This is why you are not seeing one. Try going to you're My Pictures folder if you see one in it then all is working just fine.

Is ther a way of moving all the icons from an older version shell32 to a newer one? I just downloadedd some windows updates and all of my icons are back to default. I want to move all the icons into this shell32. Is there a quick way of doing it? I don't want to do it all by hand with reshacker

How do i replace the shdocvw.dll and shell32.dll file? if I try to delete or over-write the file, even in safe mode, it is saying that the file is in use.

Have a look at the third page in this thread, you can do it the hard way that I did it (safe mode/command prompt) or Chaninjas way which is much easier :)

i dont know which icons go with what in the shell, the only resources are the avi's i dont have numbered icons to replace in the shell :( as i dont know what goes where can sum1 maybe make a list of which icon goes with which number and in which dll/exe

Its quite easy if you use Chaninjas method as his changed avi's have a different kind of icon to the rest (Im talking about the restorator way of doing things) You need to have his pre-modded DLLs. His little tutorial video explains it all ...

Great set of icons. Lookig forward to the other color schemes too. A couple of things:

IconPackager is the best and easiest way to apply most of these icons. Use the IP set uploaded at wincustomize.

I can't see the AVIs no matter what I do. IE is using low-res animations for downloads, emptying the wastebasket shows the old AVI (can't remember if its low res). I checked the files and they are definitely the ones I hacked (they haven't been replaced by Windows). Is there something I'm missing like a reboot?

I would love to have explorer toolbar icons to go with the set - perhaps as a YzBar?

I would also like to have BMPs for the open/close dialog (comctrl32.dll).

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
