Resource Hacker FX: the improved Resource Hacker
Note: The most recent version of Resource Hacker incorporates most of the changes that this patch offers. Therefore, Resource Hacker FX is considered obsolete, and the post is here mostly for historical reasons.
Remember the good ol’ Resource Hacker?
It’s a popular Resource viewer/editor, I use it to quickly view and edit resources. I tried to find an alternative, but I did not find any that I liked, so I decided to just improve Resource Hacker.
Here is a patcher that needs to be used on the original Resource Hacker v3.6.0.92:
Resource Hacker FXer.zip (117.97 kB, changelog)
Here is how it looks:
What does the patcher change:
- Partial Unicode support.
More details. - A new interface with modern icons and a manifest.
Icons by Yusuke Kamiyamane. - Resource Hacker FX does not create tree nodes for every language. Usually only one language is used anyway, so it makes it much faster to navigate through resources.
- Resource Hacker FX uses the new open and save common dialogs instead of the old outdated ones. Also, some saving as parameters got improved: the directory of the current file is initially shown, the file name gets filled, the extension is automatically added if not specified.
- If you have a modified file open and you close Resource Hacker FX, you have a Cancel option when asked whether you would like to save the file. Also, if you choose to save it, it just gets saved instead of saving as.
- The Hex viewer shows only the first 10 KB of the binary resource by default to prevent hanging Resource Hacker FX. I could not really fix it, as it’s the Rich Edit control’s fault, it’s quite slow with large texts. Well, it’s not too smart to use Rich Edit to view a Hex dump, but that’s how it works. 10 KB should be usually enough to understand what the resource is about. If it isn’t, you can hold shift to load the whole resource.
- Other minor additions, like e.g. double click to replace resource, minimizing/maximizing effects.
- Lots of bug fixes.

thank’s. is amazing software..
v1.4.5:
* Fix: dialog editor text was treated as UTF-8 instead of ASCII, which prevented from correctly translating Resource Hacker FX.
It’s really useful and saves a lot of time (eg shell32.dll), no more tree, or “out of system resources” ! really, thank you !
v1.4.6:
* Fixed a crash when viewing specific bitmap images.
v1.4.7:
* Fixed AVI preview loop abortion (stop failed if you triggered it on the last frame).
Resource Hacker FXer.exe doesn’t seem to work for me. I put it in the install directory for Resource Hacker and ran it. When the little box opened, I browsed to ResHacker.exe and opened it. The message “Ready to fix” appeared, so I clicked on “Fix it!” and the message ” Could not copy file” appeared.
Did I go wrong somewhere ?
Is Resource Hacker installed in Program Files? Try to run the patcher as administrator.
Thank you.
That was it; I needed to right click “Run as Administrator”. I’ve had to do this before with other things (opening an elevated cmd prompt for instance), but I forget because I’m always loged on as administrator. Not sure why that’s not enough, but sometimes it’s not.
Also, small item, Program Files x86 on 64 bit win 7.

Hi, is there a way to see the explorerframe.dll from Windows 8 as text an not as hex code?
I mean UIFILE –> 4096
thanks für RH FX
Hello, how can I extract all [IMAGE] resources to PNG files?
the program has a script that make all as *.bin files…
Do I need to convert them to PNG? How?
“IMAGE” is not a standard resource type, so reshacker doesn’t know they’re PNG, and saves them as *.bin.
Try to rename the *.bin files to *.png.
Works, thanks.
To do it Automatically – Is it feature you would like to add to Resource Hacker FX?
I don’t plan to. I don’t find it worth the spent time.
You just made it even more fun to mess around with my windows 7 😉
Thanks !
It gives me the message “file doesn’t look like resource Hacker” but I am pointing it a the installed reshacker.exe file. I’ll try to uninstall and re-install to see if that fixes it.
Yep. That did it. I guess my version must have been old or something. Sorry to double post, I just wanted anyone else with the same problem to know the solution. Thank you!
is it for windows 8 too??
Yes
oh ok thank you!
hey awesome friends, i’m still having a problem, i still get “out of memory” error when trying to replace an exe’s icon with any other icon with smooth transparency (those png’s with alpha-transparency) no matter if it’s a 256 or 96 pixels wide. Any other non-transparent png-renamed-ico will work fine no matter of the file size. Only answer if you have loads of spare time, i’m not hanging on strings, just thought there’s no harm in asking 😀
[solved] by using proper .ico files made out of those cool alpha-png’s. although, it was pretty hard to come by a free tool to do that, found my salvation in Evanold’s dll plugin for Paint.NET
This is almost two years old, but when I saw someone else was still working with ResHacker, I went ahead and recompiled its help file as a .chm rather than .hlp, and reformatted it to be a bit less ugly. I put it and the source up on my dropbox for now; if you’d like to add it to a repository of any sort you’re welcome to it.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uicb9p2ytrdr48q/I-q_p2n9X5?m
Righteous stuff here Mr. RaMMicHaeL ,thank you Sir. Skoal also to you Mr. Bowman..Im hoping that those help files were meant for all to use, cuz I snatched up a set of those as well. If either of you men ever make er out to the forbidden lands of Wyoming look me up as I owe ya each a burger and a frosty nug. O.d.C
Thank you for your software!
Quick question, are any of the following original files needed afterwards or can they be deleted?
– Dialogs.def (what is this for?)
– ResHacker.cnt (is this the helpfiles buddy?)
– ResHacker.hlp (helpfile does not work in W7)
– ResHacker.exe (original ResHacker.exe file)
I have deleted them and ResHacker FX seems to work just fine.
Dialog definitions, like window styles and standard control default parameters. It’s best to leave it.
Yes, looks like it’s the help’s table of contents.
You can install the Windows Help program for Windows 7:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=91
Otherwise, you can delete it.
Note that there was a .chm file published here, which works by default:
http://rammichael.com/resource-hacker-fx/comment-page-2#comment-2578
Can be deleted if you plan to only use the FXed version.
If we delete the original ResHacker.exe, does your patcher patch your own ResHackerFX ?
Or does we backup the original ResHacker.exe?
Thanks.
I didn’t understand your question.
The patcher creates ResHackerFX.exe based on ResHacker.exe. Afterwards, ResHacker.exe can be deleted.
Yes, thanks for reply.
So, your patcher only patch the original ResHacker.exe and for further more updates from you we better make a backup from the original ResHacker.exe. Thanks.
how to use Resource Hacker FX as default right click extension?
The simplest way is to rename ResHacker.exe to ResHacker_original.exe or something similar, then rename ResHackerFX.exe to ResHacker.exe.
ok. thanks for quick reply 😀
Hi, Dude,
Its a great piece of software & Very Useful.
Thanks a lot.
Whenever I try to open it, this error shows up:
http://im40.gulfup.com/0cnco.png
Please reply me back at my e-mail.
“modern icons” look terrible when system color of window is not white.
I’m aware of that, but I don’t think there’s an easy way to fix this. The format Resource Hacker uses for the icons is bmp with a special color for transparency. The “modern icons” require real transparency.
You can always edit Resource Hacker and put back the original icons. Fetch Bitmap -> SMALLICONS from the original executable, and put in in the FX exe.
It doesn’t work.
Old icons are displayed with opaque background (dark cyan).
You are right.
I’ve modified the code so that it could handle 24-bit bitmaps. For this reason you should convert the original 4-bit image to 24-bit format as well. You can use paint, save as and choose 24-bit Bitmap.
It worked. Thank you!
I think the easiest way to fix it, is to use real icons.. just override the Imagelist creation.. 🙂
Easiest, not necessarily easy.
Do you have a simple solution to this?
I thought ImageList_LoadImage might support icons, but apparently it doesn’t.
sometimes you need to think out of the box.. 🙂
of course it doesn’t support icons. just redirect it some where, then dynamically load some API, such as ImageList_Create, ImageList_ReplaceIcon , then return the imageList…
If I remember correctly ImageList_LoadImage is called only once at application start up. but to be sure, make some guard before overriding it..
hope this helps.. 🙂
Done in v1.4.10 🙂
Actually, an old WinAPI documentation I have (from 1996) says that ImageList_LoadImage supports icons.
I don’t know whether it was really supported in the past, or if it is an error.
Anyway, I did it with ImageList_ReplaceIcon.
I’ve encountered an issue, though.
Apparently the icons get redrawn every time focus is gained/lost, without clearing the previous icons behind, which screws up the transparent pixels.
The TVS_EX_DOUBLEBUFFER seems to fix it, but it isn’t available in Windows XP, so the bug still presents there.
Tell me if you know how to fix it.
P.S. I’ve also tried it with the Explorer visual style, but I didn’t like the way it looks:
http://i.imgur.com/6ayo1k6.png
Cool 😀
Really sorry but I have no Idea about it.
v1.4.10 fixes the issue – now the icons look good on every background.
Bug Report
Try to save a BMP from a .res file for example a skin for dUP (diabolo’s universal patcher) forum.tuts4you.com/files/category/2-dup-skins/
to replace the file with RLE BMP compressed one.
To reproduce:
load the .res in Resource Hacker
save a bigger BMP (the first and last BMP usually) from the .res
Optimize the BMP to RLE BMP (best use Hypersnap and save as RLE bmp or FilesOptimizer).
Import/replace the smaller in file size BMP file and you get an error message.
Do the same with the not patched Resource Hacker (original) and it works! The patched Resource hacker can not replace the bmp and show an error.
Here a sample to test it. Plastic skin (Plastic.res.res): ge.tt/1c9cXfd/v/0?c
The first and last BMP editing/replace with RLE BMP
My result with original Reshacker: ge.tt/4xcsYfd/v/0?c
The plastic skin is part of the official distribution of dUP (official wesite seems to be down at the time (diablo2oo2.di.funpic.de), I mirror it here:
ge.tt/4SbLZfd/v/0?c
Is it possible to fix it so that the modded Resource Hacker from you can do that too same as the not patched original one?
Fixed in v1.4.9.
The bug was introduced in v1.4.6, where I fixed another bug related to bitmap loading.
Here’s a test .res file containing two bitmaps. The first one is the v1.4.6 regression and the second one is the v1.4.6 bugfix. v1.4.9 can view both.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jwdhvdy0rqzsoyz/reshacker_bmp_test.res?dl=1
I tried to use Resource Hacker FXer, new interface with modern icons and a manifest is still showing same?? Why is that?
The patcher should create a new file named ResHackerFX.exe, which you should use.
Sure, I will try it when i get home!
I opened the Resource Hacker file location and I found ResHackerFX.exe! Thanks man!
Me sale este error al intentar “parchear” el Resource Hacker original que tengo (v.3.4.0.79).

Perhaps I should clarify it in the error message.

Thank you!
ResHackerFX is crashing.
I’ve tried for first time this application and in lees than 5 seconds crashed, really is full of bugs.
I’m here to report a important bug not to critic (but obviously this don’t happens with normal reshacker),
resHackerFX Hangs and need to kill it from taskmanager.
How to reproduce this hang:
1. Get Windows 7 x64 (I don’t tested it with other OS)
2. Load the “Shell32.dll” file
3. Navigate to “AVI” folder and open the resource name “162” to see it, then open the “163” to see it and then the “164”.
4. voilá! that’s a hang.
Normal ResHacker says “No MCI device open” error but at least don’t hangs.
Thankyou for read.
Does it crash, or does it hang? There’s a difference.
I tried to reproduce the bug, and for me, ResHackerFX hangs only for a couple of seconds. The same happens with the original ResHacker.
The “No MCI device open” error is something I fixed.
@RaMMicHaeL
Thanks for support
It hangs (don’t crash) but not for an X amount of seconds, it hangs forever and need to be killed from taskmanager, latest version of ResHacker does not hangs in that avi’s, reshacker only shows the “MCI” message but don’t hangs in any second (at least in my case).
PS: sorry for my english
The “No MCI device open.” message shows for me only when you switch from an AVI video to a folder.
Try switching them directly with the mouse, and you’ll see the original ResHacker hangs as well.
Please say if this is gonna be fixed in next release.
Can you add 16bit support. That would really be helpful. Thanks
Hi, Friend,
Pl. add exe decompress-er to work with compressed files.
Thanks in advance.
I use the Resource Hacker FXer.exe, and I don’t like to keep original file, do I need to delete the original file???
You can delete the original file, but note that it’s required for the patched to create the FX version, so you won’t be able to update to a newer FXed version.
Keep up the good work! Love this resource hacker… “hack”
Hi! Great work!
Tested on Win7 x86,
seems like a bug:
1. Opened EXE-file
2. Selected one of RCData forms
3. Clicked View > Find text, then Cancel
I repeatedly get the same:
Access violation at address 0043F90D in module “reshacker.exe” (it’s FXed version!)
Read of address 015C0118
And also I would like to ask you, if it is possible to implement Find & Replace a string in all the text-based resources like RCData Delphi forms.
Thanks
Hi!
I couldn’t reproduce the issue.
Perhaps it’s specific to your executable.
If that’s the case, you can upload it so I’ll take a look.
RaMMicHaeL, sorry for bothering you. Have just reinstalled ResHacker, re-downloaded and re-applied FXer – now I cannot reproduce it 🙂 Everything forks fine!
Well, what do you think about implementing string search&replace function?
Not likely to happen.
I suggest you to use a different tool for such tasks.
Hi,
The resource hacker FX is not working, it says “could not copy file” using 7
When I had XP back then in the beginning 2012, it worked and I liked it. Now it doesn’t seem to work
Hi,
If Resource Hacker is installed in the Program Files folder, you have to run the FXer as administrator.
It worked, thanks ^_^
on windows 8.1×64 ,i run the ResHackerFX.exe and system says can not run it on ur PC,please cantact developer sort of…
Works for me.
http://i.snag.gy/EDhu4.jpg
Could you post a screenshot of the error message?
Is the source code available.
The source code of what?
The source code of Resource Hacker FX
Resource Hacker FX is a patched Resource Hacker, which is not open source.
is it possible to add change language option, setting e.g. from 1033 (eng.) to 0 (neutral) at icons, cursor and cursor group – like it is already in group bitmaps?
if you can add it, that will be great and very helpful 🙂
Done 🙂
It was a deliberate limitation, which was removed.
I also made it possible to rename Version Info resources.
I am Windows 8 x64 user, if I opened the shell32.dll file c:\windows\system32\ folder, if I click the AVI folder on Resource Hacker FXer, if I keep clicking numbers like “150 [1033”, the Resource Hacker FXer freezes up, is it possible if you can fix the bugs?
I appreciate it!
I couldn’t reproduce a hang. It becomes slow, but works eventually if you wait for a couple of seconds.
I don’t plan to fix this as I believe it’s not worth it.

Hi! I’ve noticed one small issue with Resource Hacker FX v1.4.11, which I don’t remember happening in older versions. Not sure with which version the issue started though, sorry.
It will not save its settings if it’s not in a folder it can write to. Older versions couldn’t save directly into their own folder either, but they used VirtualStore successfully instead. However, the latest version won’t do this, and any changes to settings just disappear.
Thanks for all the work you’ve put into this patch!
Hi!
I don’t believe is has something to do with with the patcher. Isn’t the VirtualStore managed by the OS?
If you’re sure it is, it would be very helpful if you could tell which version introduced it. Unfortunately, I don’t have the old versions anymore, but here’s e.g. v1.4 which I found online:
http://www.manhunter.ru/download/9140/Resource.Hacker.FXer.1.4.zip
It wasn’t the easiest to find older versions but I found a copy of v1.2, and that did not have the issue. The 1.4 version you linked to does have this issue.
If I had to guess, it has something to do with a manifest being added with v1.3, but I couldn’t find a copy of that version.
VirtualStore is managed by the OS, but it will be disabled for applications which claim to be compatible, which I believe is done via a section in the manifest.
Well, try deleting the manifest and see if it works.
I was just trying that! Deleting the manifest fixes the issue, but causes the icons in the left-side panel to have black borders.
Deleting only the ‘trustInfo’ branch from the manifest, however, fixes the issue with no visible side effects.
Great, so I assume it can be considered as solved 🙂
It sure can. 🙂
Again, thanks for the work you’ve done on this; it’s been very useful!
I have no experience with Resource Hacker, so please excuse me if this question does not apply. I would like to increase the size of the icons in the system tray and also to increase the size of the default font in dialog boxes that are not affected by the usual way of changing the system font. Would I be able to accomplish this with Resource Hacker?
Thanks
You won’t be able to do that with a resource editor.
You should be able to do that by changing the font size of the dialog.
I’m still way behind the curve here. I applied your patch, then I opened Resource Hacker, and it looked the same as before. What am I not understanding?
Thanks
The patcher creates a new file, ResHackerFX.exe. You should use it.
You might want to rename/move the original file, and rename the newly created ResHackerFX.exe to ResHacker.exe.
Where would the new file be located (on a Windows 7 64 bit system)? I searched for it but nothing showed up.
How did you apply the patch, if you don’t know where the executable is located?
The typical location is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Resource Hacker\
Oh, I see it’s in the same folder. :>* thanks!
Hello there,
I have downloaded the patch and tried to apply it, when I press fix it button it said could not copy file…
Why is that???… T_T
Thank you
Hi,
Perhaps Resource Hacker is located in the Program Files folder, and the patcher doesn’t have write access. Try launching it as administrator.
I have a very basic how-to-use question: when I have located a resource I want to replace, I’ve only gotten as far copying it, pasting it into a graphics editor and changing it. Once it is changed, how do I get it back into the exact place in order to replace the original resource?
I have gotten as far as Action > Replace a resource . . . Then I’ll open the file, but I have no idea how to fill in Resource type, Resource name, Resource language.
Another question: does the file have to be in .bmp format?
Thanks,
Ellen
There are lots of tutorials about it, for example:
http://www.askvg.com/tutorial-all-about-resource-hacker-in-a-brief-tutorial/
Or just Google for “Resource Hacker tutorial”.
Doesn’t work.Same old stuff.
The patcher creates a new file, ResHackerFX.exe, next to the original executable. You are probably running the original one, thus you see no change.
OK, unless I am missing something again, it seems that it doesn’t allow me to replace PNG files, in, for instance, aero.msstyles (resources listed under “images” are PNGs). When I try to replace a resource that is a PNG, I get as far as getting the name of the resource and filling in the type, name, and language, but it does not allow me to replace. Other types of graphics files work fine.
It should work. It’s less straightforward then regular bitmaps, as you have to manually insert the target data: type (“PNG”), name, language. What do you mean by “but it does not allow me to replace”?
I enter the information as you describe, but the replace button is grayed out and I don’t see any way to actually replace the resource.
Here’s a tutorial with screenshots:
http://www.askvg.com/tutorial-all-about-resource-hacker-in-a-brief-tutorial/
Refer to the section “For Other Resources like AVI:”.
I’m sorry to report that after following the directions to the letter as far as I can tell, I’m still having a problem: I’ve gotten as far as activating the replace button (it’s no longer grayed out), but when I click it, there’s no replacement. The resource remains the original one.
Just to reiterate here, I do not have this problem with bitmaps, in that case it just does the replace.
Maybe this will help.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XUfX4uR-Yo
That’s exactly what I’m doing, but it stays th same when I click replace.
So, just nothing happens? No error message?
I’m afraid I have no ideas, I have not encountered a similar issue.
Exactly. Nothing happens. The dialog box disappears as it should, but the resource displayed remains the same. You have no idea what could be the problem?
Nope, no ideas.
You might want to try different things, such as: a different PNG file, a different executable. You might also want to see if the original ResHacker (not ResHackerFX) works.
I tried all that. I also tried the trial version of Restorator, and it does work in that program, but I am extremely reluctant to shell out all that money when it is essentially the same program as ResHacker and on top of that the support doesn’t seem very good. But it does show that it is possible.
If you’re looking for alternatives, you might also want to try ResEdit.
Thanks, but that won’t open .msstyles.
You can temporary rename the file to have a “.dll” extension.
Interesting idea, but if I do that, it opens the images as a bunch of number data, not images. Perhaps it doesn’t handle PNGs.
Hi RaMMicHaeL!
When i load in ResHackerFX a RC file, that contains a dialog resource, then all ä ö ü from german language are stripped from the title string of dialog controls. Ä Ö Ü are missing in the text of the RichEdit in ResHackerFX (version 1.4.11) and so also not seen in the dialog preview window.
To test this behaviour, you can copy the following text content in a file dlg1.rc an open it with ResHackerFX.exe.
— content of file dlg1.rc ————————————-
MYDLG DIALOG 0, 0, 261, 174
STYLE DS_CONTROL | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX | WS_CHILD
CAPTION “”
LANGUAGE LANG_GERMAN, SUBLANG_GERMAN
FONT 8, “Tahoma”
{
CONTROL “Automatisch erhöhen”, 5106, BUTTON, BS_AUTOCHECKBOX | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 10, 37, 84, 10
}
—————————————————————–
The line
CONTROL “Automatisch erhöhen”, 5106, …
is decoded as
CONTROL “Automatisch erhhen”, 5106, …
I have tried to open this RC file in the original ResHacker.exe (version 3.6.0.92) and there is the character ö not missing.
It would be very nice, if you could correct this bug (if possible).
Thanks in advance!
Hi base_t!
Resource Hacker FX expects the RC file to have the UTF-8 encoding. While this may be seen as a regression, I believe it’s actually an improvement, as it can now handle Unicode RC files of multiple encodings.
Ideally, ResHackerFX should probably autodetect the encoding, but I believe that’s not worth the effort.
RaMMicHaeL.
Hello RaMMicHaeL!
Thank you for reply. You are right, unicode is much more important. With your help (to use a UTF-8 encoded RC file) is works. ResHackerFX can export this: I loaded a DLL with dialog resources and choosed in the treeview context menu ‘Save [ Dialog ] resources …’. The saved RC file is UTF-8 encoded (testet with Notepad in his Save As dialog) and can be re-opened with ResHackerFX (with all german ä ö ü preserved).
Missing these characters it came, because in ResHackerFX i firstly exported only one dialog resource with the treeview context menu entry ‘Save [Dialog : 4039 [1031]] …’. Then the saved RC file is ANSI encoded. I don’t know if this is intended or if you want here also to export a UTF-8 encoded RC file?
base_t
You’re right, that’s an inconsistency.
The result is different because when you save all the dialogs, it rebuilds the text from the binary format, and I’ve made that function to output text in the UTF-8 encoding.
When you save a single dialog, the text is grabbed from the RichEdit control. This function saves the file in the ASCII encoding.
I don’t plan to fix that. If that’s a function you’re using often, you might want to consider a different resource editor.
Thanks for hint! But to find a stable different resource editor without heavy bugs (corrupted files, …) is not so easy for me and ResHacker FX is small and fast.
Now i simply export a single dialog as RES file, then re-open it in ResHacker FX und export again now with ‘Save all resources …’. So i have my RC with UTF-8.
Thank you for helping!
I want to remove which i marked in red color in some case and i want to change with my name how it is possible can you please explain. Please find the attachment.

You can use a hex editor, such as HxD:

Thanks for the reply…
When I changed the name like this (i.e Resource Hacker FX_Original) and saved the exe but it gives error (not opening) Please help me. Please find the attachment.
http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/u673/due3die/Error_zps5073304e.png
You did something wrong. The error says that the file is not a valid executable anymore.
I don’t do anything I done only the given above name that’s it…
how do yo edit the resource hacker name in the mainform ?
i want to edit the name just like you, i have made some changes too on resource hacker 😀
i couldn’t find any strings as ‘resource hacker’, so i couldn’t edit the app name / label
See my reply above:
http://rammichael.com/resource-hacker-fx/comment-page-2#comment-3826
is there any consequences if i changed the name a bit more long than before ?
i mean if did that, the program may not work anymore or something considered as error.
e.g the name was “rs” that written as “7E 54” and i did changed that to something like “rs test 1” .
It depends on the structure of the executable file. It may have important information right after the string, but as far as I remember, ResHacker has nothing there.
If you want to understand these things better, you might want to read about the PE executable file format.
