IconPackager 3.1 released!

Sub-packages, Control Panel icons, and more!

Wednesday, December 14, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Change your Windows icons with IconPackager 3.1.  IconPackager is a program that enables users to change nearly all icons on Windows at once by applying packages.  It incorporates into the Windows shell itself to add new icon changing functionality to Windows itself! There are hundreds of existing icon packages available to choose from.  Don't suffer from ugly Windows icons a day more.

IconPackager 3.1 adds:

  • Sub-Packages.  This is a new feature that enables icon authors to provide several sub-styles of their icon package. For example, a sub-style might just have different folder colors from the main style which can greatly reduce disk size and make it easier to have more flexible icon packages.
  • Added support for Media devices icon to folders.
  • Added support to several new Control Panel icons.
  • Fixed bug with favorites icon saving/loading.
  • X64 support
  • New Control Panel section for changing the icons in Control Panel.
  • Fixes to lots of reported issues from 3.0.

Note: This is an important update as many new icon packages are likely to use the sub-package feature including the upcoming Apogee icon suite.

Everytime I see a news item about a release I get really excited for a couple of seconds until I realise I have used the beta. heh

But at least I now can look forwards to some new iconpackages customizeing even more of my icons.

Nice update! I have two questions:

1. How's the progress on the Apogee icon suite coming along? I may just buy them as a x-mas gift for a friend of mine...if they are out by then that is.
2. Where can I get those Spider-Man and Star Wars icon suites? ([email protected])

Thanks!

Threi...I had the same problem with with IP3, but the updates seem to have fixed those problems. This version seems to work great now.

So is this one working properly with WB5 and not causing the major BSODs/crashes that we've been seeing in the forums?

Where can I get those Spider-Man and Star Wars icon suites?


I second that, or at least for the Star Wars icons...I see they're done by The Skins Factory, but no luck finding them. ([email protected])

Very exciting news!

Unfortunately it's completely useless to me as it doesn't recognize my OD subscription. It gives me a box that says I have to enter my registration details, and won't accept my OD serial for an answer :/
