Hello everyone, how are you? First of all, I’m new here, and I didn’t see anything about this type of post in the rules, so I believe I’m not violating any rules, right? I don’t know if I can mention the name of the software here, so I chose not to, unless it’s allowed. That’s why I censored the logo image that contains its name, and the text with its name.

It’s a POS system, I think only available here in Brazil. I can’t find the logo to change it. In fact, there are almost no images. I tried accessing the images with Resource Hacker, Resource Turner, and similar programs, but nothing worked. The bitmaps simply don’t appear.

Searching online, I found two identical software programs. I downloaded them, and when I checked, it was exactly the same system/software. Someone pirated them and managed to change the images and some other system features, but unfortunately, they released pirated versions and also offered them for sale with a trial mode. So, yes, you can change it; I just couldn’t do anything, not even with the help of AI.

I want to use it to manage my business. I’ve gone back to working with food delivery, and this software is very good. With it, I can control incoming and outgoing funds, manage inventory, and do many things in a much more organized way than manually. I used the trial version, and it’s very good and easy to use. I want to modify it to put a different logo and system name (my store’s name and a different logo on the interface). But it seems impossible; even in the pirated versions I mentioned, I couldn’t find the logo or change the window texts. In their folder, there’s a logo.bmp file; I changed the image and nothing changed, I removed the image and nothing changed, meaning the logo.bmp in the main folder is useless.

I’m not a programmer, but I’ve enjoyed tinkering with these things since I was little, and I’m always tinkering with everything to modify something. But this software is impossible; even with AI help, I couldn’t find the logo that appears on the interface or change the texts. Can anyone help me?

    Do a look-through of that XML folder as well. Images could be base64 encoded in those XML files. I remember several instances where XML was used as a template “language” for old style GUIs. (When XML and HTML diverged, a lot of that kind of thing was happening.)

      Thank you for your reply. I checked here and there are no XML files in the folders. The XML folders exist, but there are no files inside them.
