Thanks for the cool mods, Cha! While ChaNinja is MIA I think there are updates we could make to enhance his existing work.

Installing the most recent mods is a real pain in the a$$. The visual styles are easy but updating the DLLs is more painful than it need be. You start by "blindly" accepting two core DLLs, which is a bit spooky (I trust Cha, but some folks are paranoid about stuff like that). Next, you update DLL resources using your favorite tool. Sometimes you update the same DLL multiple times. Finally, IconPackager somewhat mysteriously updates system files without reporting exactly what it doing.

I propose a different approach. Let's organize all of the resource updates in a simple manner instead of using all of these other methods. Simply create a directory for each DLL and put its resource updates there. Nothing difficult! Then folks can take their "fresh" system and apply changes using their favorite resource tool (ResHacker, Restorator, etc.). Very simply to update and maintain, IMHO. No pre-mod'ed DLLs, no one-off tools like IconPackager; just a single, simple method to organize the data.

Converting the existing processes is a bit painful but is worth it in the end. First, we'd need to identify the resource updates made to the "pre-modded" DLLs and re-create them in the new structure. I don't think this is hard, but it is necessary so that someone can start with a "fresh" install and make all the changes by hand. Then, someone would have to figure out which DLLs and resources IconPackager updates. Of course these updates would need to be put back into the standard structure we're using. Once this is done, people will have an easy, repeatable way to install the mods. And ChaNinja can easily incorporate updates, right Cha? :ninja:

What do people think? Would anyone be able to work on this?

While updating several of my DLLs with ChaNinja's (w00t!) icons, I looked at other resources. I found a bunch of other resources that seemed like they should have been updated, but they weren't on the "official" list. I went ahead and updated them (what the hell, you only live once :woot: ). I looked at some non-core DLLs and found potential updates as well.

First, are these just possible updates that were missed or were they ignored? Is there any risk of updating any of these alternate resources? Finally, does anyone know of a document which tells you where the "important" icons are? For example, in Internet Exploder I want to replace the little globe in the bottom right with ChaNinja's. But I'll be damned if I can figure out where it is? Similarly, there are like a million of icons representing open and closed folders. Should I update them all? Or are there a few which are really important, allowing me to ignore the rest?

I'd really appreciate any pointers you might have! Thanks!

I have a Problem with your Icons, look at the .mp3?s or my Dial Up Connection Icon. I use the latest Version from Stardock Icon Packager.

[munki]

The little black hand you are seeing with the icons represents the shortcut arrow, babaan. So that is not a problem. :)

[whack]

Hey Cha keep an eye open for the new releases of style XP 2.0 it's going to have resource replacement options. :D

[Dogstar]

Does anybody have the PNG version of the icons? The links given in the first post by chaninja are not working, can soembody tell me if there is an alternate source to get them , or perhaps somebody who has them could host it?
