System Brand Changer v1.2.1

Hi, this does not touch the registry at all. Its direct image replacement..

 

shellbrd.dll, Bitmap image: 1050, 2050, 3050

An example of its usage:

Code:

        [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        public static extern IntPtr LoadResource(IntPtr hModule, IntPtr hResInfo);
        [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        public static extern IntPtr BeginUpdateResource(string pFileName,
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]bool bDeleteExistingResources);
        [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        public static extern bool UpdateResource(IntPtr hUpdate, uint lpType, uint lpName, uint wLanguage, byte[] lpData, uint cbData);
        [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        public static extern bool EndUpdateResource(IntPtr hUpdate, bool fDiscard);
        [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        public static extern uint SizeofResource(IntPtr hModule, IntPtr hResInfo);
        private string NewImage = Path.GetTempPath() + "\\";
        private string IDS = CultureInfo.InstalledUICulture.Name;
        private string windir = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("WINDIR");
        private const uint BitMap = 0x2;
        private int id = 0;
        private int[,] imageID = new int[,] { 
            { 1050 },
            { 2050 },
            { 3050 }          
        };

        private string SourceFile(string IMAGES)
        {
            string TempDir = NewImage;
            string IMAGE = "";
            {
                IMAGE = "My image";
            }
            return TempDir + IMAGE;
        }

USAGE:

foreach (uint IMAGE in imageID)
                {
                    byte[] IMG = File.ReadAllBytes(SourceFile(IMAGE.ToString()));
                    byte[] RES = new byte[IMG.Length - 14];
                    id = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfoByIetfLanguageTag(IDS).LCID;
                    Buffer.BlockCopy(IMG, 14, RES, 0, RES.Length);
                    IntPtr ipTarget = BeginUpdateResource(windir + "\\Branding\\ShellBrd\\shellbrd.dll", false);
                    if (UpdateResource(ipTarget, BitMap, IMAGE, Convert.ToUInt32(id), RES, (uint)RES.Length))
                    {
                        EndUpdateResource(ipTarget, false);
                    }
                }
