[agoNITE]

dangit, i could only find some files, avi's for shell32.dll and some bitmaps for msgina.dll

[agoNITE]

anyone has any mirrors?

[mavgink]

i'm using his finesse vs now, along with the shell32 avi (copy etc...) and the toolbar (explorer) bitmaps.

but I'm still using iconpackager for the icon's.. anyone has a shell32 yet?

-- or maybe I should give it a try....

hmm, better if someone else makes it :p

[MarianiTo]

all the links are dead.. :(

[ChaNinja]

Got fresh links for the icons and DLL mods!!!

I've updated the links on the first post of this thread and I'll duplicate it below for ya....

This is the progress so far with ChaNinja Style RC5 Icons and DLL Mods for SubZero color scheme.

ICONS

All icons come in sizes 16x16 to 128x128. They look better the bigger you display them.

DLL MODS

NOTE - the following previews are in GIF format and may look sluggish. (They look fine in ACDSEE). The actual AVIs included will be much smoother and faster.

>> Sample DLL files

The above download contains the following system files from Windows XP Professional with SP1 (English)

They are the latest WIP for my ChaNinja Style RC5 (SubZero) project.

i.e. INCOMPLETE

shdocvw.dll - for download animation

msgina.dll - for TurnOff screen

netshell.dll - for a few icons (internet related stuff)

logonui.exe - o_O

sysdm.cpl - for "System Properties" dialogue. (My Computer > Properties)

explorer.exe - for "Taskbar and Startmenu" images + few icons.

shell32.exe - for the rest of the animations and icons (ControlPanel "Performance and Maintainance" icon not done yet)

(includes toolbar icons and new "About Screen"...see screenshot below)

You can use a Resource hacker like "Restorator" , "ResHacker" etc to extract

and re-allocate these resources to your system files if you have other Windows or SP versions.

Please DO NOT distribute these resources AT ALL!

NOTE

- Remember to make backups of all your original files before installing the DLL mods.

- If you still see the default folder icons when in "Thumbnails View" then run a search for all the "thumbs.db" (hidden files) and delete them. You should then see the new icons after you refresh.

- Please comply with the license agreement and I'd appreciate a headsup if you find anyone breaking the agreement.

COMMENTS

During the next few phases of this project I'll ...

- Finish of the other icons that got mentioned throughout this thread

- Do all the above for the other 10 color schemes from RC5.

- Finally do the boot screens.

As you can see I am sticking to the core Windows XP icons. So if you have any icon requests apart from other 3rd party application icons, then please post them.

Hope you likes!!!!

BIG thanks to "Linked" for hosting these files!!!!!!

[Ritalin]

i just hope it's gonna be as simple as installing the gant shell32.dll and iconpack...

[aadhu]

cha.. has anything new been added in this download.. or is it the same as the old one?

an the link to GUIReplacer

[ChaNinja]

Well most of the Control Panel icons (except one) has been added and a new "About" screen for explorer.

Also updated the shell32.dll with more icons (not new) and toolbar icons. Apart from that everything else is the same.

Oh and the sysdm.cpl file has been added.

Can you write the GUI Replacer link differently...neowin doesn't like it :( Maybe without www and http).

[+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹]

Dont know if its the one mentioned, but there is an app called GUI Replacer Here

BTW, Welcome back ChaNinja, hope your move went well :)

[BlackAciDevil]

[aadhu]

Okay I got GUI Replacer and will start playing with it now.

In the meantime I recommend using the "Restorator" method. Download THIS HOWTO file which includes a movie, required TSCC video codec and a readme.txt with instructions.

Oh and I forgot to mention, I recently became the proud owner of a real ninja sword (I'm SO in love). It looks almost like the one on the RC5 Startmenu but better! So I decided to make a slight update to the VS so that it'd look more like the real thing.

If you like it, I'll update the other color schemes too and post them here along with their icons.

The links are broken :(

Mind posting them again?

He has hosting through me but there was a problem if he goes along with the PM i sent with the account info. it'll be up in no time.

Beautiful work Chaninja. I have what should be a simple request :-)

When you create the cursorxp packages - could you also release just the plain windowsXP cursors? I do not care for the 'all animated' cursor effect with cursosxp - and probably am not alone in this. Many thanks for your incredible GUI modification work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
