First of all: sorry for my poor english ;-(
Here a small instruction of the program "Resource Hacker" - example:
changing Fritz 8 logo:

1) Make a backup of the original file "Fritz 8.eng" (in folder
"...ChessBase\Engines")

2) Create a new logo for Fritz 8 in *.bmp format (e.g. called "Fritz 8.bmp");
another logos für CB native engines you'll find e.g. at
http://members.chello.at/grafixbywilhelm/index.html

3) Start the program "Resource Hacker" and go to "File" and "Open..."; select
file type "All files *.*" and then select "Fritz 8.eng".

4) Open the folder "Bitmap" on the left side above by doubleclicking, then
folder "102"; click on "1031" with mouse left - in the right window the known
Fritz 8 logo appears (in format 50x100)

5) go to menue "Action" and select "Replace Bitmap..."; in the right window
press the button "Open file with new bitmap..." and select the new Fritz 8 logo
(see step 2), the new logo appears below.
Select in "Select bitmap to replace" window "102" and press the button
"Replace"; the new Fritz 8 logo appears below.

6) Because Fritz 8 uses a bigger logo (format 65x130): repeat the steps 4) and
5) with the Bitmap folder "103" in the left side.

7) Close the programm "Resource Hacker", press button YES to the question
"...save changes" and give the name "Fritz 8.eng" (= replace old Fritz 8.eng) -
select again the file type "All files *.*.

8) Put this new file "Fritz 8.eng" into your folder "...ChessBase\Engines" and
start your program Fritz 8 - the new Fritz 8 logo appears.

Regards,
Manfred
