well sence alot of people have asked about this i thought i would make a tutorial.

use a resource hacker to open "shellbrd.dll" inside "C:\windows\branding\shellbrd" now go to "bitmap" and locate 1050 then save it as .bmp, open it in photoshop (or any other photo editing program) and put anything you want that fits inside that box.

go back into your resource hacker and locate 1050 again, now right click it and "replace resource" then save it as shellbrd.dll put it in "C:\windows\branding\shellbrd" and you're done.

I'm guessing that script uses VB coding or something? Looks nice! If it is coded in VB I'm in the process of learning that myself.






VB = Visual Basic. It's included in Visual studio

Just wondering, how would you make an installer, that checks if you ahve restorator, opens it up with shellbrd.dll, and then imports the image as a 32 bit bmp, and then closes it and then kills explorer.exe, and then opens it again?

You should talk to the 12 year old that made the Start Orb changer, I'm sure it would be very simple for him to make that for you.

Nice job, mate!

Would be nice if there were a way to change the background for the System Properties window.
That way users can install their own custom backgrounds.

I'd like to use a dark background so that I can make my own System Property orbs and logos
with glow effects and lens flares.

Here's my current System Properties "orb"...

70812


...now imagine having the orb as a logo, or your favorite cartoon character, or
stuff such as the head of the Terminator T-800, or even an animated gif image of
something like the ED209 mech walking and shooting its guns off...
...the creativity would be endless!

Well, here's ED209 if anyone wants to play with it as a base idea for an animated orb...

70813

I found this ED209 from a search online for an animated ED209.
I'll try to whip up a bigger and better ED209 rendition from a multi-jointed 3D model render
and I'll post it here for users to play with.

I know any of you folks can pull this off! :D
