Using Icons
Can they be used universally?
Monday, May 12, 2008 by Philly0381 | Discussion: Icons
First off let me say that I have been here hanging around long enough to know the answer to this question. Guess I just haven't been paying good enough attention. 
There are Icons for Icon Packager, Icons for Object Dock and Miscellaneous Icons in the Gallery Library.
My question is can they be used universally?
Meaning can Icons for Icon Packager be used in Object Dock, can Misc Icons be used with on the desktop and with Object Dock? Can dock Icons be used on the desktop?
I'm thinking I've read something about format and size differences that may not allow you to do this. Just can't remember.
There are some nice Icons for Icon Packager that I want to use on the docks.
If Iisland Dog is reading this, did I miss one of your "How To" posts on this?
So treat me as a newbe if you must, just be kind.

yes, but you may have to extract them out from the .ip first, unless the icons on the dock are the default icons which can get changed when you apply iconpackager
yep depending on if the misc icon is an icon instead of a png, just have to change the manually
sounds good if it's an ico

Misc. Icons must be .Ico so yes to both
On desktop you'll need just to go on the shortcut properties and change manualy the icon for the shortcut
On OD, Last versions of the soft allow you to use .ico without extract the icons, just select the .ico file from OD's shortcut properties (select image)
If it's a .ico file yes if not you'll have to create the .ico with IconDeveloper or Axialis IconWorkShop
Use a 256px png to do it especially if you are on Vista or if you use IconX on XP
Misc. Icons Gallery is for .ico files (and not for .png or whatever yes i even got a .jpg once lol), to be used by user without needing a software, and can be use with DX, OD, or any others soft who can handle .ico or simply to change manually your softwares/shortcuts icons.
