this is ntlite forum. not DLL hacking or manupilating showcase. not the place to ask. not the place to be angry when not getting answer. go away.

It's not that easy. You need to exzract them one by one then insert into Win10's dll.

Replacing resources inside an existing system DLL is wrong. You can break things, and it fails SFC integrity.

Shell icon re-theming works by borrowing a DLL from somewhere, and redirecting all the regkeys there. It's very time consuming because you have to track down each resource. They don't map 1:1, otherwise people would release icon packs in a flash.

Is there a reference for the full list of Windows 10 'Shell Icon' numbers?

Don't worry, someone will create a W11 icon theme for W10. They always do...
 
a lot of work for very little reward. find a decent wallpaper(i use Prairie Wind.bmp) and set colour to match, job done, move onto more important matters, like getting stuff done.

Need to rename this topic or merge it with the main Windows 11 thread.

Some people can't have shiny icons due to TPM ;)

if you run SFC or do any Windows Updates your files will be overwritten/replaced then you gotta rebuild your files again if you havnt backed them up.

For the record, I tried your suggestion to swap resource files. Desktop is partially broken (missing icons, Explorer doesn't run), and worst of all SFC tagged all the replaced files. It's not a ready workaround if other users wanted to try.

just use theme.

Right now, the resource files are compatible. This trick appears to work from W11 sharing the SystemResource code base rolled out in Build 1903. With this design validated (moving from DLL to MUN), there's no guarantee the code stays in sync.

Consider it a lucky break, for now.
 
Good that I do not need that on my system with me runs only Windows 11.
