IconPackager 4 Now Available

Thursday, May 15, 2008 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Stardock is proud to announce the release of IconPackager 4. IconPackager allows users to easily, and safely, change nearly all of the Windows icons at once using icon "packages".  IconPackager 4 has been through quite the overhaul, one of which is the most noticeable is the completely new user interface.

There are hundreds of these packages available for download on WinCustomize.   Creating or modifying an icon pack is as simple as drag and dropping your own icons.  Users of Windows Vista will certainly appreciate the feature updates in IconPackager 4. 

Some of these include:

  1. Completely new UI.
  2. The ability to upscale pre-Vista icons.
  3. Vista users can set Live Folder icons independently of the icon package.
  4. Recoloring feature to easily change icon colors on-the-fly.

A free trial download is available.  IconPackager 4 is available for $19.95, and is part of the Object Desktop suite of desktop enhancements.   Existing users of IconPackager can upgrade for $9.95.

Okay, back.

Object Desktop users will be able to get IconPackager 4 on Stardock Central.  They're putting it up now.  There was a miscommunication with regards to stand alone users of IconPackager - they won't be able to get IconPackager 4 via Stardock Central.

But it will be a new download. Sorry about the internal miscommunication.

An "Always Exclude Icon or App" would be an interesting feature. Might want to email that to Stardock support.
I did. This had support in version 3.2 Why didn't it carry over to version 4/ This is a downgrade in my books.

Frogboy, apart the fact of being yet or not on SDC, (which i consider as a temporarly trouble) what is (more than) hurting me is the giving up of previous possibility as said:

And BTW, still no possibility as previous 3.20.128 to recolor a whole package (which was done by icondeveloper ...) and save the new package ?

Why didn't they make so you can only install the icons "you" want installed. Instead of changeling all icons?

You can do this by going into the Icons & Cursors tabs, Files, Select the Zip icon and then click on Restore Default icon.

Look at IP 3.20 the right side will allow you to select only the files you want to change. I don't want to go through every icon and select I don't want IP4 to change it.

I just reinstalled my OS today, and installed IP 3.20, but SDC is saying that I have both 3.20 and 4 installed on my system, but I do not. I just bought IP 3.20 a few months ago...and now I have to pay for an upgrade?? What a rip!

DataCentre: I think you get a free upgrade if you have purchased within a certain amount of time.

The policy appears to be as follows :

We are giving free upgrades to those who purchased 3.x since February 1st, 2007.

Customers who purchaed IconPackager 3.x before February 1st, 2007 can upgrade for a special price of $9.95.
