imageres.dll osx icons for Windows 8.1 32bit

32BIT system file of  Windows 8.1 


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 32bit 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 32bit, so go to :

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System

and check the : System type
