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

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.

>> 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!!!!!!

hey cha just wondering are u gonna make a module for GUI Replacer? if so that would be great cause would make it damn easy to replace everything there. if u dont have time thats fine maybe u can give permission for one of us to make it :D

Yeah sure...where can I get GUI Replacer?

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).

cha can u do an icon for firebird.. i think a lot of us here use firebird :)

an here's the link to GUIReplacer's main site <a href='http://madd.<< spam >>/' target='_blank'>here</a>

that link is considered spam hehehe thats the reason i wasn't able to post it hehehe

http://madd(DOT)no-ip(DOT)com/

lets see if that works

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.

[ChaNinja Style RC5 (SubZero) Sword update] [Mirror]

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?

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • 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.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • 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...
    • Gotta' buy that there Rufus guy a beer if I ever meet him. He makes good stuff.
