Resource Editor.
BOME Restorator 2007 v.3.70 Build 1709 (February 1st, 2007) - is a versatile skin editor for any Win32 programs: change images, icons, text, sounds, videos, dialogs, menus, and other parts of the user interface. Like that you can create your own User styled Custom Applications (UCA).
But this is only one point of view:
Another aspect is that you can completely translate programs to other languages!
An example is the Russian version of Restorator which has been made with Restorator itself.
And that's not all:
Its ability to create and edit .res files makes it an easy to use resource editor for developers.
The interface with extended support of drag and drop and powerful pop up menus gives developers a new dimension of creating and maintaining their resource files.
Still more:
Restorator has many built in tools.
Powerful find and grab functions let you retrieve resources from all files on your disks.
Moreover, a so called ResPatcher can be created:
It is a stand alone program which redoes the modifications you made to a program.
So it is made easy to distribute your UCA's to your friends!
The core features are:
* Easy accessible browsing of resource files.
* Manipulation of text elements and dialogs in the application.

* Adding multi language support to applications.

* Locating resources on your hard drive.

Restorator Features:
Here is a selection of Restorator's most important features.
* View and edit Resources
Browse through your resources and edit them either in Restorator itself, or using applications you can integrate into Restorator's tool menu.
* Edit dialogs WYSIWYG
You can edit dialogs with your mouse on the screen.

* Add multi-language support to your applications
You can add several languages to one single application.
Your application will automatically start with the correct language, i.e. the default Windows language.
Multi language support can be added just using Restorator.
You can not only translate applications, but also add languages!
* Release automated modifications - ResPatche
Using ResPatcher you can create a small executable that will re do your changes.
That enables you to customize any application and share it with others. You can customize applications like Internet Explorer and AOL Instant Messenger and share the modifications with your friends.
* Grab resources in PE files anywhere on your hard drive
Grab for resources on your hard drive.
This tool will find resources wherever they hide, e.g. look for all cursors on your drive and you save a lot of manual work.
* Locating elements in resources
You are looking for a specific resource in a program?
Not a problem -- the resource finder will do it!
* Edit and update resource files that are in use.
Restorator can cause files to be replaced at system boot time, allowing you to modify resources within files used by Windows.
* Link Resource editing tools
Define your own tools to edit sounds images and other resources.

* Resource View Modes
View the resources in different modes.
In the Default Mode, you can listen to audio, look at images and find all resources that need translation.
In Hexdump Mode, you get access to the raw data. In the RC Resource Mode, you see the resource entry in standard RC format.
* Adding Resources
Insert resources in exe or res files.
Added resources are particularly useful for your created .res or .dcr files, or if you want to add custom resources to your own projects.
This feature also allows adding formats/resolutions to icons and cursors.
* Deleting Resources
Your compiler creates useless resources?
Want to strip debug information from the resources?
Want to shrink the size of the executable file?
Then you got the solution: remove resources with Restorator!
* UPX support
Open upx-compressed files seamlessly in Restorator: upon loading, the file is automatically uncompressed.
* Command line Support
With the command line parameters, you can execute Restorator conveniently from a batch program, for automated execution.
It is also possible to incorporate Restorator or a ResPatch into installation programs (like InstallShield) to automate resource patching during installation.
* Extract all Resources
You can extract all resources of an application to your hard drive and work on them. Later you place all resources back in a single step.
This can make translation easy with your favorite tools.
