Shell Icons not modified

WindowBlinds does not do this

Sunday, November 20, 2005 by whatchokesbegin | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I have WindowBlinds 4.5 and it works fine for the most part. However, the skins do not modify my shell icons (My Computer, Control Panel, drives, folders, Start menu icons, etc.). The toolbars, taskbay and toolbars all match the skin, but not the other icons mentioned. According to the pictures on WinCustomize, the skins appear to change these icons, however this does not work for me. I'm stuck with the default windows icons. Does anyone know why this is or how I can fix it?

when i look in WB configure - where it mentions applying icons, it also mentions iconpackager required - do you have iconpackager installed?

As Bichur said you neeed IconPackager, then need to download the icons, very few WindowBlinds include the icons seen in the preview pic.

Ah. Thanks. I don't really feel like spending more money on cosmetic software and the trail version only lasts 30 days so I guess I will have to go without it.
