Some new icon to choose from

[Wublide]

I don't really like the white x and orange y on a black background icon for the shorcut of what it's pratically a file explorer; maybe i'm old fashioned but i would really like some new icon set to choose from that resembles somehow the classic folder icon of file explorers, even a mash up like a folder icon with a more sober and flat styled xy logo on would be great!
maybe some of this thay i'll start photoshop to bring up some ideas ^^

have a great day guys

I believe that it's the best icon I've ever seen.

If I could only have one icon for every executable on my system, it would be the XY icon.

I've been thinking of having it tattooed somewhere...

Since this topic just got bumped, I'll add that I too like the XY icon and I doubt the developer will change it, one option that might work for you though is using a resource hacker to change it, the following one allows command line changes so you could write a batch file or similar to do it quickly on each XY exe update if you wanted, below is a link if you are interested in this approach:

I just did a quick trial and it seemed to work ok, here is the quick batch I wrote if you are interested:

[code]@C:\Tools\Resource_Hacker_v4.5.30\ResourceHacker.exe ^
-open "C:\Tools\XYPlorer\XYplorer.exe" ^
-resource "C:\Tools\XYPlorer\XYplorer-ICON.ico" ^
-action addoverwrite -mask ICONGROUP,AAA, ^
-save "C:\Tools\XYPlorer\XYplorer-ICON.exe" ^
-log CON
@PAUSE
[/code]

of course the paths will need customizing to suit your system.


Edit: Doh! Just realized that you can edit your XYplorer.ini and set a custom icon if you want without my previous babble.....

Code: Select all

; Tweak: custom app icon
IconFile=

i already changed it by myself and i don't said anywhere that the dev has to change it, but more than one to choose from would be appreciable, it was just a suggestion
