CustomizerGod by Kishan-Bagaria
NOTESome of you may know about this release already, but I thought it might be useful to post the info and link here, in the 'Customization Tools' section, regarding this cool tool for 7 and 8.1.
I actually can't believe no one has posted this news here at VC yet!
CustomizerGod is the ultimate tool for customizing Windows. It will completely change your customization experience forever.
Now, even total noobs can edit Windows system-files with ease!
Changing Resources:
First click and navigate the tabs in the left-hand pane and find what you want to change.
To change a single resource:
Click the resource in the right-hand pane.
Click Change.
Browse for the new resource and click Open. You can open any .png, .jpg, .ico, .gif or .bmp file and the file will be automatically converted to the required format.
To change multiple resources at once:
Select multiple resources by holding the Ctrl or Shift key. To select all resources, click anywhere in the right-hand pane and press Ctrl + A.
Click Change.
Browse for a directory containing the new resources in .png, .jpg, .ico, .gif or .bmp format. The filenames of the new resources should be the IDs of the resources (optionally starting with the # character, like #123.bmp). Move your mouse cursor (hover) over any resource in the right-hand pane to find its ID (if a resource has multiple IDs, use the first one).
Restoring Resources:
Just select the resources you want to restore in the right-hand pane and click Restore.
Customizing Other System & 3rd-Party Files:
Press Ctrl + O, browse for the new file and click Open.
CustomizerGod will list all the bitmaps and icons embedded in the file. When you open any file, a .backup file will be saved in the directory of the original file. Don't delete it until the app is closed.
Shortcuts & Advanced Options:
Click the little arrow in the bottom right corner to expand the window with more options. Hover over any option to find out what it does.
Resource Preview:
Double-click any resource in the right-hand pane to preview all versions of itself. Hover over any image to find out its dimensions.
Converting 3rd Party Resources:
CustomizerGod comes with a Resource Converter which can extract/rename existing 3rd party resources for use with CustomizerGod.
Rename ResHack RC File Resources: Open a .rc file saved by Resource Hacker and the resources saved along with it will be renamed to CustomizerGod-supported names.
Extract Resources from RES File: Open a .res file and all embedded resources will be extracted with proper names to the directory of the .res file.
Extract Resources from iPack: Open an iPack .exe and all embedded resources will be extracted with proper names to the directory of the iPack. This is not just limited to iPacks, you can also use this option to extract resources from .exe files that have .res files embedded in them.

I took a quick look the last time you mentioned this. It really looks like a handy easy-to-use tool.
It's great if you just want to change some system icons.
Thanks for the share again, almost forgot about this tool

You can do a LOT more with it than changing some system-icons, bro. You can open almost anything with it (including .exe), and edit practically every image. It does have limitations, though, like errors for certain files and no way to edit code, but it's great for most files that you just want to edit the images.

Thanks for recommending this tool. I was able to change some system icons I wasn't sure how to before now. However, I was getting the message that I did not have ownership for changing the icons for some system32 .dll files. So, as a workaround, the Winaero TakeOwnershipEx tool worked really well. It can be found at https://winaero.com/download.php?view.16. I think this will be useful for changing .cpl files easily as well.

TakeOwnershipEx is a great tool, I've been using it for quite a while. I recommended it a week ago to a fellow (Terrapin2190, who was having issues with timedate.cpl) in this thread (post #5): https://virtualcustoms.net/showthread...date-cpl-Tools
The only system-files CustomizerGod will throw any flags at you about, in 8.1, is shell32.dll. Because editing that file breaks the digital signature in 8+ and will render your computer un-bootable.
