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.

Downloads DLL Mods:

>> 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)

Shell32nExplorerResources.jpg

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

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.

    • Really? Use a better search engine https://www.google.com/search?...ourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
    • Seems like Neowin has transitioned into being simps for the white house. I can't find a review for the last UFC games that came out.
