Freiends, the only thing I could do with my knowledge and tools is: - extract all images (icons) from owlres.dll, fmres.dll and fmcustom.dll to get their names. - use some of these icons (by name) in tool bar xml-files. The icons are there in a png-notation. fmcustom.dll now also contains png images, no more bmp bit maps. I have pdfs with all the images and names, see http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker60.html You may look into http://www.daube.ch/docu/files/etb-customising-fm.pdf and Dialogs from owlres.dll can be seen in a resource editor, the items can be changed - but i have not tested whether they can be 'saved/compiled' again ... Dialogs are split into two resources in the Adam and Eve container (yes that's the names of them). The items look (for me) like c-programs. If you open owlres.dll in a hex editor you see this text starting about in the middle of the file. This OWL stuff is Adobe special - i have not found any explanation of the term owl. Googling leads to quite old documents about Borland ObjectWindows containing this abbreviation in number - but is it this? To sum up: I have no idea how to modify the owl-dialogs.
