Modding explorer back,forward,up,etc.. buttons - suggestion?

SunMoonStar says:

When I change VS, everything changes great, but my filemanager (explorer.exe) back, forward, up, folders, view icons.. they stay the same.
2 Questions:

1-- How can I change them?

2-- I also use Firefox.. will there be a way I can use the bmps used in my Firefox skin, for example, to replace the ones I have in my filemanager window?

I'm open to any methods, reshacker or third party skinning program (whichever you think is best in terms of freedom and ease)

thanks a lot to anyone who took the time to read and or reply!

I like Y'z Toolbar, as it's pretty simple to use, compared to other methods.

Each toolbar is made up of two strips of the 40 or so icons (hover and not hover), ie, just an image. I guess it's easier just to try it than to explain.

There's also Styler, and good ol' reshacking as well. You can visit WinT's site and see how hack them.

For Firefox you'll need to modify the skin to make them match whatever ones you choose for Explorer.

I downloaded and used y'z toolbar since you mentioned it and it worked great at first but the icons keep resetting themselves on new instances of explorer windows.

btw, does anyone know how to get rid of the topleft icon in the titlebar of all windows?

you can't if you aren't using windowblinds. you'll have to reshack / replace each icon with one that has a transparent 16x16 slot.

You could use styler, but it is a bit difficult to configure

speaking of this, does anyone have a hacked .dll for the menu/button bar?

Tazio.

It's not hard to do. If you're up to reshacking and stuff, you should be able to make a StylerTB Skin easy.

I haven't made a styler skin before, but it looks like a config referring to images, so yeah, if you know that stuff you could make one easily.

If what mailmerge is saying is true, and the "strips" of images he's talking about are what I think they are, then you can easily reshack the explorer.exe bitmaps.
They're actually in shell32.dll, bitmaps
214 - Large, mouseover
215 - Large, normal
216 - Small, mouseover
217 - Small, normal
I don't think theres any reshack way to change the pressed button configuration though.
