Windows 2000/2003/9x/XP / Shareware; $39.95 / 2,005 downloads

Resource Tuner enables you to customize any application by editing and replacing resources (PNG, XML, Image Lists, Type Library, bitmaps, jpeg, icons, strings, Delphi forms) within the file. It ships with the UPX Unpacker, a start-up processing plug-in for unpacking files compressed with UPX. It makes it straightforward to translate any application, even if you do not have the source code for it, even if its original developers are long gone. Simply replace all text resources with their translated versions, and resize forms, buttons, etc. to fit the translated text as needed.

    A pretty nice utility, although the author is pretty rude.

    Now all versions of UPX are supported from 0.8x up to 1.90, this is great !

    Very nice and usefull application for those who need such one. I've used many resource editors in the past but with a small exception of Resource Hacker, none of them was good enough for pro-class res editing.
    Resource Tuner is nice looking app with many editors but very limited number of advanced functions
    It lacks a text .rc editor, resource wide search & replace.
    On the other hand, it's small, fast and very stable. No more lockups or corrupted binary resource updates.
    Btw i still prefer Resource Hacker although it seems that it's a dead project as it has no updates more than a year now.
