This means we may be able to finally get a fully accurate OS X or Linux login screen without a third party utility. Woot woot!

Also, there is an ini folder in the Resource Hacker directory. This means that we should be able to copy and paste the entire Resource Hacker folder anywhere we want and it should work. Therefore it's portable. If you can confirm this VG, please add directions to this article for those who want to use it as a portable tool. Thanks!

Hey VG, I confirmed that the Resource Hacker folder can be copied and pasted where ever. It is fully portable once installed. I tried it from a flash drive and I also copied it over to my 64 bit Vista partition. Both worked.

Resource Hacker FX: the improved Resource Hacker
rammichael.com/resource-hacker-fx

First of all, download and install the original Resource Hacker v3.6.0.92

Then, download the patcher and copy to the path of original Resource Hacker's installation.
Note: The default path is "%ProgramFiles%\Resource Hacker" (without quotes). For 64-bit editions of Windows, it is "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Resource Hacker" (without quotes).

After that, simply run the patcher and it'll create "ResHackerFX.exe". Done!
