This is the second release of my shell32.dll mod.

This time, though there are no new dialog mods, all the icons have been replaced by high quality icons for a complete vista touch. Also included are some pre-RTM icons (see preview for some of them). These pre-RTM icons are not the default ones, but you can apply them on any folder (or other files- if you use something like iColorFolder).

There are some other dll's included as well to give Vista icons on imaging devices and image formats.

Some of these icons have been taken from Bush1do's Vista Feeling Icon Pack, others have been converted by me from their png's while the pre-RTM ones from (probably, I don't remember clearly) winmatrix.com.

I am thankful to my bro for helping me with the avi's, to Vishal Gupta for his great tutorials on ResouceHacker and to Picassa243 for his help with ResourceHacker and his Tutorial on Vista Conversion.

Sorry, but toolbar bitmaps have not been updated, I would do that soon (use Styler and windowblinds till then ;))

And please guys, help me improve on this by sending in your comments. If you liked this, plz giv it a :+fav:- it really means a lot! :)

I too would like to request you to please provide a mod for XP SP3 users. I am providing you the latest shell32.dll and netshell.dll (for network connection icons) to make things easier for you. If it's not too much to ask, plz patch them and provide links to the same. Keep up the great work!

[link] (version 6.0.2900.5512)

Also can you please elaborate on what the other 3 dll's (shimgvw, mydocs and wiashext) are for, coz i basically just want the icons and not vista dialog boxes.

Thanks!

So is the My Computer Icon changed as well in this one? I installed the first version of this but didn't know this one was here... So I'm going to go replace it now.

Hope so.

As for the toolbar I hacked out a Vista Style from another mod and put it in yours for my own personal taste. Don't know yet if the toolbar is Vista style in this version but otherwise I'll find out soon enough.

Thanks for the work.
