exe icons in win7 x64

[Antieve]

Solved!
It was IconPackager bug

Trying to fix the other one.

[admin]

Nice to know.

[Antieve]

All fixed now BTW, I have found that buggy transparent bg image
Another question now about "wrong" folder Icons, exe icons (without own icon), unregistered icons etc



Also as you may notice, list header color stay black somehow
There is bugs with fonts settings ("apply to" checkboxes issue), but it's not so important.

Icons: Untick "Configuration | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons | Use generic icons for super-fast browsing"

List header color: I'm aware of this. I see what I can do...


UPDATE: Well, I'm trying to get this color right for more than 7 years now. But themes in Windows is buggy and scarcely documented. Just tried again. No chance. In theory it's super simple, in reality it simply does not work.

Untick "Configuration | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons | Use generic icons for super-fast browsing"

I never used this feature.

On my screenshot you can see that my system header color is not black!
That's mean you already change this color to permanent black

Don't know, maybe this helps:

1. The column headers are displayed by child control of the list view -- a Header control

Header Control
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... s.85).aspx

2. You can get a handle to the header control using the LVM_GETHEADER message or the ListView_GetHeader macro, but...

3. As WM_NOTIFY messages are sent to a control's parent, it's the list view's WndProc which will be receiving the NM_CUSTOMDRAW notifications you need to handle. So you will need to subclass the list view (SetWindowSubclass, etc) so you can get at the message (either handle it in the subclass proc, or maybe forward it on to the list view's parent for handling there.)

4. Custom draw for Header controls works with the NMCUSTOMDRAW structure, not the NMLVCUSTOMDRAW.

This doesn't allow you to just specify the colours (using clrText, clrTextBk, clrFace) you want and then leave it to the control to do the drawing. But you can use SetTextColor and SetBkColor to set the color the display context will use, which will change the colour of the text and button face, but not the button edges.

So what about

"wrong" folder Icons

As I said, "generic icons" not checked.


And about my "header suggestion" - it's work.
Check out this form (working example) I have compiled for you as a proof.

[admin]

Untick "Show custom file icons" for a try. Maybe you defined EXE icons to show the vanilla icon.

[Antieve]

Nope it's not working.
But looks like I found the problem.
XYplorer reads

Code: Select all

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons

and the valid path is

Code: Select all

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons

That's how Windows manages redirection inside the registry (for x86 applications)...

[Antieve]

Nope.
Second one is system default - for both x64 and x32
First one is only for 32 bit apps running on 64bit system.

Andere that's why I wrote: for x86 applications^^
