'Xpize', and 'Resourcer'

Xpize

Xpize is a utility program for Windows XP (32-bit only) and Windows Server 2003 (32-bit only) that replaces most of the bits in Windows that didn't match XP's style with bits that do. Xpize does not replace any files, system or otherwise. Instead it "patches" the files by replacing the old resources inside the files.

Resourcer

Resourcer is a ResHacker clone developed as a testbed for Anolis.Core and meant to replace ResHacker. It has a powerful yet simplified UI that doesn't duplicate commands or confuse users with special-case handlers (which ResHacker and XN have in spades).
