Obfuscar renames embedded resources, if they start with the same full name like 
an
obfuscated type. This is especially useful for the resources associated with 
Windows
forms, which start with the same name as the Form's type.
The resource designer of Visual Studio also names resource files after the 
class used
to access the resource contents. In this designer-generated class the resource 
is
referenced by a hard-coded string.
You could replace this string by something like 
typeof(MyResourceClass).FullName, but
this would be overwritten by the designer every time a resource string is added.

In the current version (1.5.2) there is some special code now, which searches 
for
this hard-coded string and replaces it with the obfuscated type/resource name.
