IconPackager and Windowblinds 5
Saturday, September 23, 2006 by Randy Warner | Discussion: Icons
Even though I have the setting checked in Windowblinds to automatically apply the corresponding icon package if available, the icons never get changed unless I manually open IconPackager and change them myself.
Anyone know how this can be fixed? Since the option is there in Windowblinds, I figured the icons should be changing automatically.
Thanks.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear before. I have the IconPackager program and some sets of icons that go with some Windowblinds skins I downloaded (Artwork, for one, Buuf, for another). The icon packages have the same names as the skins.
In Windowblinds Basic Settings, there is a checkbox that says Apply Any Icon Packages Supplied (IP Required). It looks like that setting ought to automatically change the current icon set when you choose a skin that has one, but it isn't doing anything at all that I can see.

There also has to be a pointer set in the .uis file, I believe. Sometimes authors provide an icon set for IP that matches the WB skin as a separate IP download, often using the same name, but don't necessarily "link" it in the WB .uis file. It's analogous to the "Fonts to install" feature, but I can't quite locate it in SkinStudio's Explorer tree - it may just be a setting in the [Personality] or [Titlebar Skin] section of the .uis file.
