No comments on that.
However, if opening a simple text-file and modifying it is too difficult for you, sticking with the original graphics might be a better option.

Please write in proper english language since it's hard to encode your slang-american-english language

All you need to do is to put downloaded .grf files in your OpenTTD\data directory.
Then, go back to OpenTTD\ and modify "openttd.cfg" file in the notepad.
Insert lines with new graphics names, as written in the FAQ

Really, do you need to type like a retard? You've already shown you can just about string normal words together. Please forgo the internet-baby speak. We're not your lover or infant child [although I do make assumptions in that assertion], so it's just totally unnecessary!
