Possible to Change WM6 system icon to Vista Style

[15812220]

Hey Everybody,

I tried to edit shellres.dll from dump, please refer to the attahced picture.
but after finshed the rom, the icons of the system stay no change, is there anyone had this kind of bad experience?
Any suggestion?
I wonder if after hard reset, system copy back a new shellres.dll default file to overwrite the edited one, but not so sure?

go to www.lakeridgesoftware.com and try the wisbar advanced 3 application for PPC... you can download themes for wisbar for everything from "Apple to Vista" style themes.

i can give you a small hint maybe will make your work easier, flash your rom without shellres.dll, then add it manually, if you want to replace just hard reset and try the second one, and so on, so no need for cooking or flashing (i'm not sure if that can be worth for shellres.dll, but i used this method for some other system dll files)


i don't know if you are good in making cab files, if you are not that good, did you try Wince Cab Manager and make a cab file containing shellres.dll with removing all properties for this file (in Wince Cab Manager).


i hope i gave you some of useful information :o

good luck for you work, don't stop till you got what you are looking for ;)
