"Resource Hacker" is one of our favorite software which is used to edit various system files like dll, exe, cpl, etc. Most of the times its used to modify Windows look, for example you can change look of dialog boxes, menus, etc.
We have posted a detailed tutorial about resource Hacker at following link:
Now the good news is, our friend "Angus Johnson" has released an updated version of Resource Hacker which now supports 64-bit files as well as PNG files.
That's a major update and every Resource Hacker user should download the new version 3.5.2
Changes List:
- Now decompiles/compiles 64-bit executables
- Added PNG image support
As you can see in above screenshot, the older version can't show PNG files but the new version can show PNGs without any problem.
You can download the new version using following link:

YES! Now I can edit my own themes for free.

Great job. Unfortunately, Vista and Windows 7 binaries store their resources in MUI files and although Resource hacker appears to open and save resources in MUI files correctly, it doesn't work. I can't update any resources, for example, in timedate.cpl/timedate.cpl.mui and have the modified CPL work.
