Styled after the awesome theme build 'Mechanism (http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/57160-Mechanism?p=267829&viewfull=1#post267829)',
here is one more extra for a more theme Xtreme experience.
These modified .mui files will add pictures in selected resources alongside of your properties dialog windows such as Start Menu properties, Taskbar properties, Mouse & Keyboard properties, Sounds properties, Run properties, Folder Options properties, and a few more.
The default properties window is still there, this mod just adds pictures on the side of the box which is how you get the name "Side images". These ready made files are written for English language only. Not unless you add a language pack. Sorry.

This was a very special group project .
The concept and art work is by icebabee and this started out as gsw953 putting her ideas into a theme build,
and with the help of many others it soon grew into a massive project with a ton of extras!
I had a lot of fun working on this, honored that I was invited to join, and hope you enjoy what you see!!
-----
2 ways to install these.
1) They are packed in an easy to use installer made by gsw953. Also comes with a restore.exe to revert changes.Instructions included.
2) Also included are the ready made files by themselves if you want to install these manually. Instructions included.

**REMINDER** If you experience some of the images not appearing, you need to clear your icon cache again. There is a ".bat" file you can run and it is included in the "Helpful Links" folder in a folder named "How-To_Rebuild_Icon_Cache".

Thanks for your comments and hope we can come up with the answer here soon.
So far I don't know about the installer, never been tried as far as I know. I checked the opening post for Mechanism for 8, and he does not show any side pics in his screens or notes.
But, instead of using the installer, are you comfortable enough to try a manual installation?
There are only 4 files to change out. I don't have 8 installed but you can check your self if these files exist in the following locations;
1- explorer.exe.mui (Located in Windows>en-US folder)
2- main.cpl.mui (Located in Windows>System32>en-US folder)
3- mmsys.cpl.mui (Located in Windows>System32>en-US folder)
4- shell32.dll.mui (Located in Windows>System32>en-US folder)

Let me know if they are there, and if your willing to do this type of testing or not and I will help in any way I can.
Thanks again..
