Krypto Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 I know - i should know this, feel free to hit me afterwords, but how can i change the icons for these start menu objects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZzPcPzZ Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 theres the easy way, and the hard way. well, actually, both are about the same. first off, u can get some icon changing progz such as microangelo, e-icons, iconphile, and change fro mthere ,or u can just edit the shel32.dll and other files.

Yes, you need reshack, and from there... I wrote a tutorial about it here... Hope that helps... I hacked mine to look like this: mavis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mavis Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 Originally posted by Spacedog Hey, Mavis, where did you take that awesome wallpaper? :) Actually I made it myself... :) thanks! Anyway I uploaded it just now, you can get it here... As far as the icons, they're mainly from the MMIcons set, I converted some of them, as did Dazzla and Scorcho, in this thread. The files may still be offline now, as we never could get in touch with the original artist, but in that thread are detailed instructions on how to convert them yourself. Fairly easy to do, takes only 3 or 4 minutes per icon (after a while you'll get it down to 2 minutes or so) :) - You can find the originals in OSX format at MMIcons. mavis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacedog Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 A big, big thank you, Mavis... after Dazzla's "Anime face" wallpaper, this is going to be one of my favorites! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you even bother reading my post? :) It's in the MMIcons set. See above. Anyway thanks for the compliments on the wallpaper guys! I tried to get the colors to match my hacked Luna/Silver theme, if you guys are using a silver theme too, they look pretty good together (IMHO). It's gotta match, right? :) lol mavis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chipi Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 here is my start menu: sorry about the bad quality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavis Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 chipi, did u reshack? Looks good btw... but I have a question. I assume you're using larger than size 48 icons on ur desktop, right? When you do that, the icons on the right side of the start menu are enlarged of course, and since they are supposed to be 24 pixels, they look terrible blown up. Did you reshack them, and add 48/64/72/etc sizes to those icons? I never bothered because I figured XP would simply use the 24 size icons, whether or not there were larger ones available. but yours look so smooth. How? :) mavis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipi Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Hi :) i just edited the shell32.dll and some more .dlls i needed to change.. and i'm working with 64*64 with the large icons, and 16 with the small ones. but when i changed the size of the icons to 64 from 48, the size of the small icons (the 16 ones) didn't change.. i don't know why did ur small icons changed.. sorry.. maybe it something u did with the registry.. :ermm: sorry :disappoin and sorry about my english....:sleeping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
