Making Mac Theme, problem with icon

Thursday, December 5, 2002 by Juguar | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I have downloaded a icon package and try to make an mac style pc. I started with some cool object bar skin and then logon. I just found a new background and everything looks good execpt one thing, icon. And now I have downloaded G3 icon pack its perfect. The hard park is replacing. I have to go properties on EVERY icon and go change iron, browse click, repeat... and so on and so forth. Anyway I was wondering if anyone have any tips on how to do it in another way. I dont know if I can but I want to rename the new icons and replace the old, if I can, how? Another problem with my icon is the hard disks. I can not replace their icon. Please help.

If you mean the standard Windows icons that are displayed on the desktop and in the Windows Explorer (My Computer and so on) there are icon packs in the library called IconPackeger file (.iptheme files). The Icon Packager program is used to apply them.

For a given program go the appropriate library category and look at the top of the page. They'll be a link to info about the corresponding program for that category.
