What is Restorator

What is Restorator ?

Restorator allows you to modify the user interface of any Windows 32-bit program and thus create you own custom applications. You can view, extract, and change images, icons, text, dialogs, sounds, videos, menus, and many more.

Technically speaking, it lets you edit the resources in many file types, for example exe, dll, res, rc, ocx (Active X), scr (Screen Saver) and others.

A powerful find dialog lets you find any resource in files on your disk.
You can distribute your modifications in a small, self-executing file - the ResPatcher.
The Grab Resources dialog allows for extracting many resources (images, sounds, etc.) at once.

Furthermore, you can create small self-executing patch-programs, that redo the modifications to a program. You can distribute these ResPatchers freely.

Translating and customization in or outside development are major applications

What are Custom Applications ?

User-styled Custom Applications are applications that are changed by you to fit your special needs. This may just be for fun (changing images like in tutorial 2 or for serious reasons like translating the user interface of a program (see tutorial).
