Changing icons

Saturday, September 16, 2006 by zaf82 | Discussion: New Users

Hi guys, i'm new here..I just installed WB5, and just downloaded several themes..the problem is the icons do not change..they are still the same windows xp default icons. The toolbar icons changed but others dont.FYI i dont have IconPackager in my laptop. I've read in this forum said that usually the themes already have their special icons.But it doesnt appear on my notebook.Pls explain to me.. TQ guys!!!

Not WB skins, IconPackager is needed for icons.
What you may have read may have been about suites, that are applied with theme manager.
If a suite had an IP pack you would still need IP to install icons. For all parts of a suite need the app that applies it.

window blinds skins windows
cursorxp changes your cursors
icon packager changes your icons
desktopx creates a whole new desktop
etc
suites are any combination (usually 3 or more) of the items in the galleries to the left

theme manager is a program that loads your suites - only those components of which you have the needed software will work.

click the software tab above and read the descriptions


each gallery also has a description box at the top

That would be fine. I hope it's animated.
I'd like to see that along with the "tatooed" skin.
