Windows 10 RS6 1903 : important INFO for iconpack makers

[innuendo]

Hi all

Wanted to share something I played with since I update to 1903 build .

MS changed most of resources/ assets location ( usually system 32/ syswow64 ) to put them now in

C:\windows\systemresources with new extension to work with files ".mun" instead of .mui (which still exist in system 32 & syswow64 sub folders )

So we can now edit icons from this sub folder and after testing it seems very easier to edit "shell32.dll.mun " for example and as safe than for .mui files.Another example is you have now WMPLOC.dll named wmploc.dll.mun to edit windows media player skin

Though I don't figure out what does mun means ( multinational user n ?? )

Maybe Mr Grim vould you pin this ?

Best regards

Yes I am already aware of this, I did make a post about it a while back https://virtualcustoms.net/showthread...l=1#post340222, I have been doing it this way and I agree it seems a far better way, no digital signatures to worry about or syswow64 and system32 files to edit, there are still some files in system32 that contain icons but most have been relocated, I suspect in future Windows 10 builds this will contain all the UI and icon resources.

it still works under 7tsp , just change path resources and add res as usual according to new extension MUN so res files become for example : shell32.dll.mun.res

If you update the installer though I'm with you , I worked without compiler but manually with
