As we all know the .theme file contains some lines with witch you can replace the default icon for recycle bin for example with a new one just like here:

OLD
; Recycle Bin - SHIDI_RECYCLERFULL SHIDI_RECYCLER
[CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\DefaultIcon]
Full=%SystemRoot%\System32\imageres.dll,-54
Empty=%SystemRoot%\System32\imageres.dll,-55

NEW
; Recycle Bin - SHIDI_RECYCLERFULL SHIDI_RECYCLER
[CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\DefaultIcon]
Full=%SystemRoot%Resources\Themes\aero\icons\full.ico
Empty=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\aero\icons\empty.ico


And here is my ideea that i have in this morning. We all know how dificult is to change the original .dll (for nerds), and every time you want to change the theme you have to replace the .dll files to.
So, why dont implemented the icon replacement to the other resource to like for the ORB cuz we know that now is not anymore in the theme, its in explorer.exe and create a line like the orb to be chageable when we apply the new theme and the line to look something like that:

; Orb - SHIDI_ORB SHIDI_ORB
[CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\DefaultImage]
Bottom=%SystemRoot%Resources\Themes\aero\resources\6801.bmp
Center=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\aero\resources\6805.bmp
Top=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\aero\resources\6809.bmp

and make the same thing for the back/forward buttons and other buttons from toolbar .....

You don't need a ClassID to override it. You do by the method in the first post.
