Is there a program out there that could automatically change my system's icons to windows 95 ones? Or would I have to figure out how to use customizer god.

Even so I can't use customizer god, it always has different errors depending on what I want to change and I want to change everything. |

The same idea popped up on ClassicServ a few days ago. It's definitely possible, but someone would have to provide clean dlls, resources, and customized dlls for reference. Unfortunately I haven't seen anyone actually upload this. (There is huge zips with tons of icons, but that's not useful as most people don't want to manually map)

I think the first thing to do is to classify the icons by keywords (for example, all notebook icons), and alongside that, classify them by style. Used a database for this could work well, and this will find the missing icons, in order to create them then. I could take care of it (maybe in SQL) when I have time, that is to say in a few months. |

If its possible then that would be awesome, if you do it in the future it will be one of the most helpful things on here to me by far (and there are alot of things I find super helpful) |

I don't think classifying icons like that would work.
You actually need to look at it from a programs perspective if you want this idea to work:
Custom resources will be classified
MUI Dialogs
MUN Icons
MUN Bitmaps
DLL Bitmaps
After that you'll subclassify them into each dll:
shell32, imageres, basebrd, ShutdownUX etc.
Finally the icon should be named to it's resource identifier in the dll
For the This PC icon you would get:
MUN ICO -> shell32.dll -> #16
For the winver banner you would get:
DLL BMP -> basebrd.dll -> #123 / #1123 / #2123 depending on size
For the shutdown dialog you would get:
MUI DLG -> ShutdownUX.dll -> #2000
You can keep going on like this for a while
Basically it needs to conform to this:
As many types of resources as possible
As much resources as possible
Sorted by destination, not what they are

What I said more was mainly with a view to an encyclopedic classification of icons, without consideration for locations in the MUN. For replacements in the MUN, I suspect that it does not work the same. |
