Quick Question

[PROBLEMCHYLD]

I just replace the bitmaps in BROWSEUI.DLL

with the Winxp 1s and they are all broken up y is this.

If you want to change the toolbar icons in Windows Explorer as well as in Internet Explorer, and if you have also implemented the patch against freezing Explorer as I described here:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=452384

Then you need to patch both BROWSEUI.DLL.

For the one with version 5.50 in the %windir% you need to replace Bitmap 265 with the one from Bitmap 266, also Bitmap 276 with the one from Bitmap 277.

Whereas for the version 6.00 in the %windir%\System folder, you only need to replace Bitmap 265 (gray-scale) with the one from Bitmap 266 (color).

You certainly can replace those files under DOS, but I would prefer using SFC instead.

I want to replace the Win98SE bitmaps with the WinXP bitmaps

It is in browseui.dll

I want to replace the Win98SE bitmaps with the WinXP bitmaps

when i do that my icons in the toolbar and Windows Explorer are split in half.

The reason of the split is: Win98SE and WinXP are using different bitmap image sizes.

For example the toolbar icon of IE6 in Win98SE is Bitmap 265 and 266 in BROWSEUI.DLL, the size is 320x20 and it has 256 color depth.

Whereas the equivalent toolbar icon of IE6 in WinXP is Bitmap 204 and 205 in SHELL32.DLL, the size is 384x24, color depth 16M.

True you can resize the bitmap from 384x24 into 320x20 and change the color depth to 256, but the result will be very poor, like the Back and Forward buttons will not be so round anymore.

There must be a better way of doing it, i.e., to force IE6 in Win98SE to use 24x24 icon matrix instead of 20x20. Any clue to that sort of tweak?

Use Revolutions Pack Lite.

[Wijono]

Not trying to deny that Revolutions Pack Lite is a great work, but it has also very broad spectrum.

For those people that just want to see XP toolbar icons in their IE6 under Win98SE, i.e., using icon matrix of 24x24, can you recommend something to achieve it Tihiy? It could be a small tweak or patch in the IEXPLORE.EXE maybe?
