In place resource icon editor?

Anyone know of a tool that would let me open a DLL file and directly edit the ICON's inside the DLL? I have found apps that would let me save the icon, edit it with another app and then replace the icon with the edited one. But I have a situation where I want to edit 158 icons! The thought of saving them all, then editing them in Paint.NET (or something similar) and then replacing all 158 puts me off the whole enterprise.

(The goal here is to fix the pnidui.dll that displays the wireless bars in the system tray so they are not white on grey and you can actually SEE the signal strength at a glance.)

Axialis Icon workshop is what you need:

Yes I was able to READ the file you are looking for.. but did not try to write on it. Probably will need to save As on the desktop, and manually override it, as such MAY task requires to play with permissions.

However, it's a paying software :/

 

I looked at their web page and see no indication that I can directly edit the icons in the DLL. But to be honest, I realize now the task is not quite so daunting. The way ResHacker exports the icons it does ALL of the various resolutions as a single file not one for each resolution as I thought. That makes the task a lot simpler for me.

I am working on a saved copy of the DLL and once I have it updated I'll play with manually overwriting it back to SYSTEM32. And I asumme I will need to write it back to the dll cache as well. Hmmm, I just looked and there doesn't seem to be a dll cache in Win7. Anyone know WHERE Win7 stores the "master copies" of DLL's, that it uses for protecting the system files?

I used the tool I mentioned to you. I purchased it. And I can confirm your can view and save icons on most DLL and EXE files.

 

I understand that. My question was can you EDIT them inplace within the DLL itself?
