Is this the full rust rewrite everyone is talking about?

Good to hear. winboat seems to both target and achieve a more polished setup and use.

Even running office on wine is a good option if your target version has somewhat good wine compatibility.

There’s also winapps you can use to run it in a native windows environment in some way (another machine tucked away somewhere, in a VM etc.) and have it acting like a native app over RDP and even have integrations with file manager like file associations.

Instead of having a full desktop view in a remote desktop session, you’ll get each window in a separate window that’ll act like any other singular app. I used it when I had to use ms office and some other windows only app when I had a secondary PC that had to have windows anyway in a separate office in the same building.

It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of winboat and i feel like they are pretty much equivalent in what they do.

I don’t know if you missed my other reply but it’s indeed in the exe but they are compressed. Uncompressed exe had the resources you need to change in the exe file.

I think I found the half of the answer.

Out of curiosity I downloaded and installed the trial version from their website. When I inspected it, turns out it’s written in Delphi. What I’m guessing due to monolithic nature of the software (i.e. huge .exe file holding almost everything for the system) the already big (32.9 megabytes) .exe file is actually compressed. When uncompressed it’s approximately 100 megabytes. When I checked the extracted binary(extraction due to execution, hence looking at the memory dump of a once ran executable) the resources now show the logo and the name your censored in a png resource file.

There are several versions of it but I’m guessing one of them is used in that header, others may be used in about window etc.

Unfortunately my quickly hacked up dump file doesn’t run. So even if a modification is done, the resulting exe is not useful as it is.

Detect-it-easy can’t find the exact compressor for the exe sections. So I don’t know if there’s any available de-compressor for this .exe.

At least my findings show why you can’t see those resources in resource hacker. Because it’s compressed and unreadable as it is from the .exe.

It’ll probably be possible to modify those resources once someone can create a runnable extracted version of the original .exe. I hope this helps. I’ll post again if I have any other findings and/or solution.

Image file being explicitly converted into a specific resolution and bitmap makes me wonder if it’s the logo for printed materials like receipts i.e. necessary format for black and white thermal printer.
