Battery icon not replaced

[fauzzo]

Hi,

I have just installed this last version of XPize (4.2 MCE) on my notebook running XP SP2.

I had installed previous versions in the past and I remember that battery icon was replaced too. This time it doesn't ...still the uggly original one.

I have tried to force reload of such component (DLL - Batt) but it doesn't change the situation.

Is there any way I can try to fix this?

Thanks

It's not replaced anymore. Read the changelog. There are also some forum topics on it. 1 2 3

You can get my custom batmeter bitmap here

Thanks a lot for the help!

May I ask you how to use the 301.bmp to add it again to my xpized os?

I have tried to copy it to C:\WINDOWS\XPize\Resources\batt.dll, edit script and force reload for batt but it does not make the job

thanks

To replace the icons you copy WINDOWS\XPize\Tools\ResHacker.exe, WINDOWS\System32\batmeter.dll, 300.bmp and 301.bmp into a folder of your choice. Open batmeter with reshacker, look for the bitmaps, click replace and choose the custom bitmaps, save the changes, replace the original in system32 with the new one. Restart explorer.exe to view the changes.

It is not batt.dll but batmeter.dll, even then it won't work I think. I've tried it that way to replace the timezone bitmap but the relaoder does not check for changed resources.
