Overview

Many of the graphics and the look of the sliding panels are located in the bronzeres.dll. Below are instructions to edit the dll. A way around editing the dll is to follow the directions found in this thread

Instructions: Editing the .dll

• To do the following you will need a program like PE Explorer

• Find the bronzeres.dll located in the /windows folder of you phone and copy it to your computer.

• Make a back-up that will be untouched

• Download these MSigner files

• The general idea is that you need to 1) unsign the file, 2) edit it and the graphics with a program like pe explorer and finally 3) resign it.

To unsign the file

• On your PC, go to the start menu and go up to run. Type "cmd".

• Type the command "cd c:\xxxx" (where xxx is the name of the folder you want to go to)

• Add the bronzeres.dll and unsigner.exe tool to the same folder.

• Note: It might be easier to move it to a simple folder name on the c drive and then just type "cd c:\folder name"

• After that, just type "unsigner bronzeres.dll" and it will give you a message saying it removed the certificate.

• Open bronzeres.dll(the one you just unsigned) with PE Explorer, and at the top of the window click View>Recources to see all the images. They will be in the "RC Data" folder in numbered png files that should begin with 2000 and go up from there.

• To edit a graphic, just right-click it with your mouse and select "Edit Resource."

• You will then see an icon to open files at the top of the window.

• From there you select the image you would like to replace the original with.

• Be sure your replacement images are the same file type and size as the original!

To resign the file

• Open signer.exe, hit select file and look for the bronzeres.dll you edited and hit start

• The signing process will begin and a message will say process finished

• Note: make sure you have a COPY of the bronzeres file as back-up

To put it back on the phone

• set the phone's theme on a non-slide theme

• Copy the .dll to the /windows folder on your phone (or you can make a cab)
