Description
I have made as an optional to my themes , if users want my mac os X style icons who most, based to the original os x ones, to download to this separate pack.Using blue style mac osx style folders, instead of the default yellow microsoft ones, needed changing the imageres.dll
so for this : Change the imageres.dll system files with those from this pack which contains blue style mac osx style folders
This pack contains a 64bit mageres.dll system file, in which contained the mac os X style icons.
So if you want those blue style icons, you need to take ownership of the original system file that exist at :
C:/Windows/System32
(provided C is your Windows drive).
please check your system if it is 64bit, so go to :
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System
and check the : System type
================================================================
Instructions for Windows 8.1 64bit system.
====================
Make a restore point, before doing anything else (if you don't know see how> www.eightforums.com/tutorials/… )
UNZIP the file using 7zip www.7-zip.org/download.html
go to :
Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts
select 'Change User Acount Control settings' and set the slider down to 'never notify' position.
restart.
then take ownership of the original system file that exist at :
C:/Windows/System32
(provided C is your Windows drive).
please see how to take ownership of a system file and do this to imagers.dll at www.addictivetips.com/windows-…
After taken ownership and permitions, rename your system file from imageres.dll to imageres.old
Copy paste the imageres.dll of this download, to your C:/Windows/System32
Take ownership and permitions, to the new imageres.dll
restart your system.
That's it.
==============
Now to Windows 8.1 64 bit system, exist at c:/windows/syswow64 another imageres.dll BUT is 32bit so please pay attention.
You will do the same procedure, taken ownership of the original imageres.dll at c:/windows/syswow64
Then download the 32bit imageres from my zeusosx.deviantart.com/art/ima…
Rename the original imageres.dll at c:/windows/syswow64 to imageres.old, and copy/paste the new
32bit imageres downloaded from my zeusosx.deviantart.com/art/ima…
(I also mention to the instructions of the 32 bit this too)
==================
After you can go to :

restart.

I have a problem. When i change the scaling to 125% or 150%, the folder icons appear as blue. But when I change it back to 100%, some folder become yellow, some stay blue. Why is that?

I really don't know, try when you are at 125 a restart and then back to 100 and then again restart, just know from my experience that the windows system is not so stable as should to the parts of appearance, some or enough times 'holds' previous values and not changes as should.
I suppose you have also changed/rename/add new file of the imageres.dll osx icons for Windows 8.1 32bit that exist to c:/windows/syswow64
The files to the syswow64 are 32 bit ones [and not 64] so you have to follow the procedure, taking permissions of the system and add a new 32bit imageres.dll sytem file from my zeusosx.deviantart.com/art/ima… and follow the instructions > find the text ''...Instructions for Windows 8.1 64bit system....''
If this 32bit imageres.dll has not changed there is a reason of ''..., some folder become yellow, some stay blue...'', so you must change that also.
