[Interface] Unofficial MX3 skin resources

Unofficial MX3 skin resources

While MX3 does not support skins yet, advanced users may already tried modifying the resources http://forum.maxthon.com/viewthread.php?tid=75780. Now some itching Chinese users can't help making some niceties, and sharing with others.  

To use, download the .zip or .rar, extract MxResData.dll and replace ...\Maxthon3\Bin\MxResData.dll, enjoy!

Firstly,you can load html file of the resources extracts from MxResData.dll in browse.exe.
Secondly,click Debug->Element probe on & View->Status bar.
When you hover your mouse on an element you will see the Dom Node object info. of the element and then you can locate the source code in html & css files.

It is because the version of the MxResData.dll with the skin is from an earlier build, luckily it contains only resources so it will not create problems (none that I found anyways, dunno if others have had issues), but it could confuse the updater.
Strange, I tried the Updater and got this message:

This one is very pretty, but has problem when Maxthon 3 is maximized.

1. Open Maxthon3\Bin\MxResData.dll with ResHacker or other resources editor.
2. Save ZIP resources, there will be a zip package named "Data_1.bin".
3. Rename it to "Data_1.zip", decompress it, and you'll find several html files.
4. Edit those files, package them and import them to MxResData.dll
