XYplorer App Icon Exchange

Post by admin »

From v9.00.0017 onwards XYplorer supports loading the app icon from a stand-alone icon file.

The icon file is defined by tweaking the key IconFile in XYplorer.ini:

Code: Select all

        IconFile=[Filename]
[Filename] supports full paths, relative (to app path) and portable paths. If [Filename] is empty or points to a non-existing or invalid icon resource, then the internal default icon is used.
Note that the icon file should at least contain a 32x32 and a 16x16 pixels icon, preferably in 32-bit (but 8-bit will work as well).

Examples:

Code: Select all

        IconFile=xy-orange.ico
        IconFile=C:\Icons\xy-orange.ico
Here are some ready-made icons for you to play with in a ZIP.

Could you please add the new orange icon to your package as well, that was my favorite.

To be fair, over time maybe one of these nascent icons will grow on me. Keeping in mind the architectural axiom of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe that "Less is more" still like the original the best. :roll:
