Some older Icon Packager Themes will not install

Saturday, February 21, 2026 by ansonglinsky | Discussion: IconPackager

Good morning all... 

I've been a member for years, but this is my very first post here.

I'm running WindowBlinds 11 and the newest version of Icon Packager. Some of the older themes are in .ZIP files, and some won't install.

Am I doing something wrong, or are the older packages just not compatible with the newest version of the software? Or do I have to unzip them to my hard drive, then install?

Any insight would be welcome.

Thanks to the group.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please list down few of the IconPackager icon pack in .zip files so I can test it. If I remember correctly, some of it, you can just simply rename the .zip files to .ip .

Thank you,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.  A couple of the names are Nuvola.zip, PlywoodIP.zip, SoftIcons.zip, and Win98dtg.zip.

Some of these were created on the site a while ago. 

This is the error message I keep on getting.

 

 

Any help would be welcome.

Thanks again.

I tested some of those, Novula and Plywood. You just need to unzip those files here C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\IconPackager. if you have IconPackager open, close it and reopen it again for these icons pack to appear in IconPackager list. 

Thank you,
