Back and Forward icons in what windows file?
Sunday, February 6, 2005 by mkuiter | Discussion: Icons
I'm looking for the standard XP Back and Forward icons as seen in Internet Explorer. Can someone please tell me in which (system)file I can find them?

Most of us use WindowBlinds to replace our toolbar icons and therefore don't need to know.

Most windowblind themes have the default icons in the file. 
Change the .wba file extension to .zip, unzip the file and they should be in there. Some people delete them from the file because wb auto installs the default icons.

Okay, thanx. I've found what I was looking for but how do I isolate a single icon from a row of them in the .bmp file? Do I use something like Photoshop for that?

Yes, you would have to open the image in a graphics editor, then select the icon you want and copy and paste it into a new image.

Yes, I've been trying that out since my last post. I've found a couple of good ones from a Firefox theme. I have to get rid of some lines on the edges but I have to look into that some more. I also copied and pasted some good ones from several windowblinds themes (thanx for the suggestions) but I still have to get rid of the pink background. Is there an easier way to do that than with bucket fill and then pixel by pixel for the edges?
