Description

I have made as an optional to my themes , if users want my mac os X style icons who most, based to the original os x ones, to download to this separate pack.

Using blue style mac osx style folders, instead of the default yellow microsoft ones, needed changing the imageres.dll

so for this : Change the imageres.dll system files with those from this pack which contains blue style mac osx style folders

This pack contains a 64bit mageres.dll system file, in which contained the mac os X style icons. 

So if you want those blue style icons, you need to take ownership of the original system file that exist at :

C:/Windows/System32

(provided C is your Windows drive).


please check your system if it is 64bit, so go to :

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System

and check the : System type

================================================================



Instructions for Windows 8.1   64bit system.

====================

Make a restore point, before doing anything else (if you don't know see how>  www.eightforums.com/tutorials/…  )

UNZIP the file using 7zip  www.7-zip.org/download.html

go to :

Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts  

select 'Change User Acount Control settings' and set the slider down to 'never notify' position.

restart.


then take ownership of the original system file that exist at :

C:/Windows/System32

(provided C is your Windows drive).

please see how to take ownership of a system file and do this to imagers.dll  at  www.addictivetips.com/windows-…

After taken ownership and permitions, rename your system file from imageres.dll to imageres.old

Copy paste the imageres.dll of this download, to your  C:/Windows/System32

Take ownership and permitions, to the new imageres.dll

restart your system.

That's it.

==============



Now to Windows 8.1   64 bit system,  exist at c:/windows/syswow64 another imageres.dll BUT is 32bit so please pay attention.

You will do the same procedure, taken ownership of the original imageres.dll at c:/windows/syswow64 

Then download the 32bit imageres from my  zeusosx.deviantart.com/art/ima…

Rename the original imageres.dll at c:/windows/syswow64  to imageres.old, and copy/paste the new 


32bit imageres downloaded from my  zeusosx.deviantart.com/art/ima…
