How to replace windows 7 icons?
Friday, August 28, 2015 by bluedxca93 | Discussion: Skinning

Hi,
i do have a not that incomplete icon set ( not much application icons but the rest). And want to load that at least for a month on my win7 installation.
The used software should be acceptable small and id like also to have an editable ascii text list like icon_resource = iconfile.
Has icon packager an edit mode in the trial that let me output such lists?.
Ask cause the .iconpackager configuration file is a highly encrypted compressed archive(looks a bit like a custom cipher variant +zip without headers) . If not is there a trusty alternative that works fast and well?
Using reshacker is not a solution since its to complicated and its not funny to see the work broken, so it schould be a dll or something replacing the default resources.

Hi, that sounds very very limited.
Any way to theme at least go-back, save as, cut etc icons?.
