Multi-icon source

[binocular222]

Menu caption and CFI should support something like:
"Test|C:\windows\system32\shell32.dll(3)"

Would be too slow.

Slow? I thought it's the standard way to get icon, so it must be an easy-and-fast way.

I install 2 OS and whenever I switch between XP-Win7, icons in <xyicons> differ so much from shell32.dll

There are tools to extract ICO files from a DLL. You could do that...

but how to assign NotepadXP.ico to menu1 if you're in XP and Notepad7.ico if you're in Win7?

[admin]

Difficult since the idea of the portable icons is exactly the opposite: Have the same ions everywhere.

Maybe this helps?

Code: Select all

    + Tweak to overwrite the default icons path (<xydata>\Icons\, and
      <xyicons>). The value can be absolute or portable/relative to app 
      path. For example,
        [Settings]
        IconsPath=Icons
      will resolve to K:\XY\Icons\ if XYplorer.exe is located in K:\XY\.
      That way you can also centralize the icons pool in a team context, 
      but make sure that the server is available else startup will slow 
      down and no cute icons.

i did that and this is the best to do, because - even i 'm still using XP... yes... - future time is coming so that
big video / music softwares will work only on Seven, Huit, Nine, or Windows Ten ( 100 To SSD for Windows 10 + 50 Go for having backward ergonomies... )
Having real .ico files is the best way to be sure to see the same icons i want to see, even in 10 / 20 years.
if i want to change my mind, I control that. Not Smalllimp...
( oops... Microsoft )
