Good question.. IMO this would only be possible with either decompiling the exe or analyzing cics' source code (don't find a source). AND having a much deeper understanding on how dlls like OLE are used in Windows 'global hierarchy'. Btw I am also no programmer but have experience in IT servicedesk using our BELOVED Win XP :)I really believe cics has coded already in a way, that the fewest possible dlls etc are getting used.. and We can only do our best to streamline all these components to suit it 'best'. This is what iE minlogon is also about for long times now.
What you can do using resource hacker is replace GUI related things in cMP and cPlay. Respectfully tweaked B39 SSE4 executable is shown above, I put in oldschool icons and black and gray (I dont want cics take this modification as disgrace. but Respect for his great player!) Also, cics has used much simpler (IMO prettier) icons in old builds. When I get a hold of these, I extract its icons and 'paste' it on the B39.
Keeping the spirit and only dare to mod icons keeping the same size and colours :)

I would be disinclined to monkey with cics programs generally, but I would love to know how to reduce the font size so perhaps whole titles would show. Better yet in my case would be if someone else did so and posted the resultant programs.
I know this may initially seem like monkeying around (please get the pun with my shown Nilsson playlist and track title!)
o.O
But the answer is No. Because One can only replace resources that are designed to be just that, resources for the GUI. They get loaded along with program code when one starts a program. The font rendering of track titles in cPlay is 'hard-coded' and hidden in program code (so cics design choice), and can never be changed with tools like reshack. They are not accessible. Better that way, I happen to think too :)
Too bad.
No deregation intended. Monkeys are a higher order of animal than fish. Mermaids are harder to classify, of course. Still I wouldn't want all of us to go ape over reducing system/file size for its own sake.
