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.

Using Stardock Central Browser,the serial for OD should be applied to Object Desktop (found in drop down). If you have the full package the one serial enter for ODNT automatically covers all in the disk (no separate serial entries).

| It gives me a box that says I have to enter my registration details, and won't accept my OD serial for an answer :/ |

Same problem here. When I enter my OD # I'm presented with a "Object Desktop Discount" page... but no Apogee icons to be found.

It's not there yet, must still be putting things together. The discount doesn't show the icons and if u just click on the regular priced and want to purchase it doesn't show up in the basket so their not up yet is my guess.

Purchase option just became available for the icon suite. I just finished the sale and downloading now. Feel like a little kid in a candy store waiting for the download to complete... best set of icons I've ever seen!

I just downloaded it too! Can't wait.
One thing about this new version of IP. I downloaded it and when I went to bring up one of my packages it had nearly all the formats missing!!! I had to add them one by one by clicking on Add Format! What a pain!

Well, I must admit that I'm a bit disappointed after making this purchase. Don't get me wrong, the icons are absolutely superb. But, it lacks icons at the 64 and 72 pixel levels. It jumps from 48 to 128, leaving people like me on widescreen laptops to have icons that are too small 
, or way too big! 
I love it that there are 120 icons covering a wide range of file types and filling in the first of the control panel icons... which is great. I also love the wide range of sub category colors. But, after finding out that the other icon sizes were missing, I immediately switched back to the Orion suite or others I've downloaded here at wincustomize... bottom line... feel like I lost $10 on this suite.

You can always do Your own sizes with IconDeveloper.

Apogee crashes IconX. I believe it is the new subpackages feature. Other Iconthemes are alright.

I too noticed the issue w/IconX. Frustrating because I love the 128pixel icons and smooth sexy feel of the animations that IconX offer! 
Does anyone know how to do a batch process in Icon Developer to create 96 pixel and 64 pixel icons from within an icon package? I really want to create those sizes for Apogee for my computer.

IconX cant handle the 256 pixel icons. I have deleted all the 256 ones and everything works fine.
