is there a way to clean up shadow quickly ? (other than manually replace it by blank.dat)
and is hex editing the only way to remove text completely ?

For topmenu?  If so, just extract the attached archive into an empty folder, then use Replace All, and select the folder where you extracted everything.

I just redo with that file and still have infobar problem (white block on some icon)
unless I use less complicated 01-12.bmp. :(
