For the 2 I made, it was just a matter of finding the programs folder that stored the icons. Don't know if any of those programs you have listed even have a folder with the icons in it, or if they are built into the exe of the programs itself, as I don't use any of those programs

Upload the exe-files so that we can check if they contain the icon. :) Might not work on Nod32 though as it possibly protects it's executables. I mean, it's an AV software after all. ;)

Btw. What do you mean by the sign out icon of messenger? After a quick peak at msnmsgr.exe it only seems to contain some icons, not the status icons. Another icon in different sizes is contained in ctticon.ico. Looking in msgsres.dll I found the status icons at least (extracted them and attached to this post).

Note that this file is patched by apatch so if you use that you should patch it after apatch has done it's thing.

any chance of a foobar icon ? :)

Winamp icon anyone?

I don't like the icons being all monochrome... it's harder to distinguish them. That's why colors are good for icons.

The wireless reception bars... I was expecting something green, I even thought the connection was broken.

They're stylish, yeah, but I still think having colors would help distinguish things.

edit : nvm found decent foobar icons -> http://lordzoltan.deviantart.com/art/Fooba...e-Icon-23613944

That's nice; thanks a lot. :)

I made a few quick samples of the icons for Live Messenger that I uploaded earlier. Tell me what you think. :) I plan to try them out tomorrow or whenever I get the time. Shouldn't be a problem to reshack them into msgsres.dll though.

I second this request.

[blunden]

I noticed that there were a lot more icons (all the "frames" in the animations in the tray) to edit. :( The status icons work nicely though.

[blunden]

I took the time to do the rest of them as well, 14 in total. I've included all the ico-files in the attachment to this post. I also made a modified msgsres.dll (needed for it to work) but unless I know it's okay to post it I will not do so. I already made the mistake of posting a modified user32.dll.mui a few months back.

Btw. Why is the edit function time limited? I feel like I'm spamming. :(

i like old vista tray icon colorful and style

[obsidience]

Pardon the intrusion,

I'd like to go with the all white system tray icon look as well. I assume that some people are using a resource editor to swap out icons? If that is the case - would anyone point me out to the best software and method to do this?

Thanks!

I use Resource Hacker. It hasn't been updated since 2002 but it still works just great in modern OS:s. After you open a file, check under Icon and then right-click and select Replace resource (or Replace icon, I don't remember). It will then open a dialog box where you can select the icon to replace. When done, just save the file and replace the original.

Replacing Tray-Icons w/o using ResHack or something like that

[SMELTN]

hey great find Tom. Will really help out the people that aren't into reshack

[TomX]

I'm at work, so I don't have Axialis here, sorry. Just a few "quick made" icons.

Better quality when I'm at home.
