Hi, Mark.
I'm not commenting on the patches, but wanted to ask anyway.
Do you know of a thirdparty software using this functionality? Or, if there is nothing easily accessible, is that a way developers could use now for localization, or it's something semi-internal or completely internal to MS own applications/dev tools?
Hi Nikolay,
I'm not aware of anybody other than Microsoft who's done anything more than play with this - presumably because there was a reluctance amongst developers for so long to introduce a dependency on Vista.
MSVC comes with a utility muirct.exe to generate these - see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/intl/resource-utilities.
Probably also worth pointing out that the post-XP theming engine relies on MUI (i.e. aero.msstyles), so this would be a prerequisite for modern theming in Wine.
