Yes, the Resource Hacker really works very well in these cases (don't be
fooled by its quite doubtful name ;o)). E.g., I "customized" the Conditional
Text dialog to display more formats (avoiding scroll bars), stretched the
drop-down list boxes of the Paragraph designer to display longer tags and
resized the "Print to file:" field in the Print dialog to display longer
file paths... It's really quite easy to use.

...and if you have enough spare time you can even create your own individual
splash screen (in the file fmres.dll > Bitmap > MAKER_BANNER) ;o)
