[Release] My Desktop Icons

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 4:26 pm

This addon will change your icons for following: My Computer, My Documents, My Network Places and Recycle Bin.
Icons are installed in Windows\Resources\Icons. You can choose other icons if you dont like. Or you can edit the addon with your taste.
I just wanted to share an easy way, thats not hacking any files.

DmX,
Hey, this addon works great! Just one thing: Now, the rest of my icons don't match!!

No, but seriously, I installed it just now with the .inf file, and it's MUCH faster than Vista Icon Pack.

You think you could make another pack (or add to this one) to include ALL the Vista icons? (In other words, like VIP, but faster and less bloat!!)

You are welcome RaGhul. Its the windows itself allows me to change the desktop icons. There is no way to change the other icons without editing the files (w/ reshacker).
You can delete the reg keys created bt addon to see the default icons.
Sorry for the confusion.

Man, that sucks!!

Oh, well. Thx anyway.

Just an FYI, this pack didn't work for me.
It might be conflicting with the other theme addons I added. The filecopy went OK but the M$ original Icons were waiting for me on the desktop. This was in VM.
I'll troubleshoot some more and report back.

mr_smartepants · Post by **mr_smartepants** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 3:10 am

Nope, still not working. Here's the order I do things.
1) Nlite to extract fresh XP source and make removals/tweaks/themes.
2) Boooggy's WMP11 integrator (works flawlessly!)
3) RVM integrator to use 2.1.7 update pack as well as various addons (left open).
4) BTS driverpacks
5) Make minor reg tweaks, verify .sif and .inf tweaks.
6) RVM integrator to build ISO.

Looks like my theme tweaks in nlite are what's breaking this addon. In the nlite.in_ file there's a reg patch to restore shell icons back to normal.

Code: Select all

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons","29",0x00000000,"%11%\shell32.dll,50"

Would this break the desktop icons too?
It's a tough one to crack. I've been wrestling with it for the past two days, installed via VM about 6 times so far.
Here's my list of addons.

mr_smartepants, i am not sure, but that nlite tweak would break the icons.
Normally, the addreg section runs at t13. If nlite tweak runs after that, you will lose the settings. You can look at the addon's inf file for the addReg section it uses. Run it after logon, or add them in nlite.inf file.

Damn!

OK, guess I have to learn theme-addon building now.
sigh...

MrNxDmX, Plz if you can include FOLDER icons...I don't like original XP folders look....

Nice Addon ...

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 6:11 am

Are there any specific ones that you want to see? I have lots of folder icons.

I would love to see VISTA RTM's Folder Icons...

Other than folder Icons I am interested to change some other Icons...

Harddisk Icon
CD-Rom Icon
USB Flash Memory Icon

My Music,My pictures ,My Videos Icons [They are subfolders in Mydocs]

I think a complete some of these Icons will change the entire Xp Look...
If you can make another Vista Icons Lite pack,We will definitely appreciate your work....

I agree. I prefer the look of the Vista Transformation Pack without having to install the entire suite. Just the Icons would be perfect, as mindcurd said...A 'lite' pack.
That would be very appreciated.

MrNxDmX,...Where are you...?

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Sat Apr 14, 2007 4:33 am

Sorry for late reply. As most of us know, we cant modify icons without patching dll files. I have found a feature of winXp and that helped me build this addon. I will look in one other way in order to change the files' icons, but i cant give promise.

ahmerkhan · Post by **ahmerkhan** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 7:13 am

thanks MrnDmx....

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Tue May 01, 2007 9:59 pm

Good news

I found a way to change the icons of files. Give me a list of some files, and i will make a test addon. Then maybe i can work harder with this addon, to make it as an icon change addon

But it will take time, no promise...
Also, gimme a collection of icon files, that you want to see in this addon.
And, tell me if you dont like the location of icons (they are located in C:\Windows\resources\Icons now).

Link works ok. If you're using a download manager check its referrer. It must start with sth like http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/...

I can email you a 7 Mb 7z file that has a pile of .icl (Icon Libraries) that in turn carry a couple of hundred public domain/freeware icons.

Thanks newsposter, but i cant work on new addons now. Too busy with real life
