    Hi all,
    I recently took a look at a L502X and i noticed that the OSD is better than the one on the L501X so i tried take a look to where the icons are from. With "Resource Hacker" i opened the application "quickset.exe" and noticed that both the icons are stored there. Now replacing the bitmaps works only half way, because there isn't a replacement for every icon (the XPS L502X has more icons than L501X but some are completely different from the "defaults"). So i think there is a check on the application to see which system is installed on.
    Anyone has suggestions to how proceed? I hate the ugly graphics of the "original L501X" quickset :(

    Thanks in advance!
