Trying to replace Utorrent icon on taskbar


Recommended Posts

I've tried to replace it but it doesn't change .. any ideas?

Thanks.

Just make a shortcut in the same folder as the exe, give the shortcut the icon you want and put it on the taskbar.

Additionally:

To change the program's icon, grab the .ico file you like, rename it to main.ico and put it in the same folder where your utorrent settings (settings.dat, etc.) are.

If you also want to change the tray icon, make a copy of the file and name it tray.ico.

the shortcut method seems easier . thanks :)

That trick won't work with taskbar labels on though. You'll have to use a custom main.ico then. :)

Hmm there seems to be a bug in utorrent. It limits the custom icon to 16x16 so it looks pixelated when labels are enabled on the taskbar. Also looks pixelated in Alt+Tab. :p

*goes to report the bug*

I'd say a lot more effort will go into program icons for windows.

I was a bit hesitant putting a program on the taskbar the other day just because of the icon...
