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).

    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.

    • Around 68% of developers are now using AI to generate code during development, and some experts are saying that a single developer using AI tools can now do the work of an entire team of 4 to 5 engineers.  According to Figma's State of the Designer 2026 report, 72% of designers now use generative AI in their workflows and 91% say it improves the quality of their work, not just their speed.  But does this mean web developers and designers are becoming less relevant, or are they simply evolving into a different kind of role? Would love to hear from developers and designers here has AI made your job easier, or do you feel threatened by how fast these tools are improving
