You have to replace the original images with the new ones.

This works just as it would if there were an external skin folder, the only difference is that in this case the skin folder is integrated in the DLL.

To swap the images you can, for example, use Explorer Suite. I recommend this one because it is free and also supports 64bit PEs. (Many others do only 32bit.) You can obtain it here.

The HowTo is pretty straightforward too: You simply drag the DLL into Explorer Suite, go to the 'Resource Editor' option, open the PNG folder, rightclick the image-to-be-replaced, select 'Replace Resource', then navigate to the replacement image and thats it. Do this for all images that are to be replaced, then save the DLL.

Heres a little visual aid:

Yeah, just like I thought: the dll must be altered (changed) to make it work. Well, thanks for the info

Sounds like fun

In a sense thats true. But in effect it is no different from swapping an image in an external skin folder, i.e. you are not actually 'hacking' anything. (Which is what many people who dont understand the process tend to think.)

Yeah, I wasn't talking about hacking either, just that the whole process (as simple & straight forward as it may seem to some folks) is beyond my abilities

Having a step-by-step guide helps a lot though, I'll try it later

Thanks again for the help

UPDATE: ok, this kicks ass

It took about 1 min for the whole process (hey, I'm a slow reader) and the skin looks KILLER

I totally agree.

Thats exactly why i want to try something else there.

(The headers are more or less a 'leftover' from a quick&cheap design i did based on the MauSynth skin i made a few weeks ago. (See screenshot.) I didnt like the result though, so i tried something else.)

Patience mon ami.

I have to make a few adaptions to the backgrounds first, then pack it all up and upload it to the hosting service.

Check back in a couple of days.

Very good GUIs

Again, congratz for a really good job

Now if I only could find a way to pack all the available banks for it in just 1 giant bank... ummm

I just programmed a more or less authentic semi-acoustic guitar emulation, maybe appropriate for Jazz, Latin etc. In case anyone cares, the program file is here...

Play with pitch bender and velocity to be more expressive
