I don't think you can change the original icons.

But you can make new ones by using the User Buttons with short scripts - eg., Paste is #202.

And if you want to change them because a recent update to Xyplorer made the original ones look silly, I agree. And I changed mine using the method above and using my own icons for Cut, Copy and Paste.

Actually you Can change the original(default) toolbar icons, but it's somewhat tedious. Check "patchimage" scripting command. If you wish to exactly "get back previous XY icons, that's another tedious task: resource extract png with all icons from older version, cut needed buttons from there and use patchimage.
If you don't understand what's this all about, better not bother and use XY fan advice.

Jajaja! I understand most of it. Enough to be dangerous.
But this will only work until the next update/executable, right?
I update with each beta as it comes out...
But thanks!

The scripting command indeed is temporary, in fact works only till current session is finished, But i actually mentioned it as a reference hoping you dive "patch image" theme, though my bad not mentioning there is more.!

So you can create "Patch" folder inside own XY Data folder and place there images properly named = that's where one needs dig for info for sure 'cause i'm not aware how to properly get names. But here's an example: i was fond of old Tree icon and Don was kind to provide the old one iamge after it got updated(that skipped me need to extract resources) + proper names. Now i have 2 files in my Patch folder, `cause that button has 2 states.
minitree.MiniTree24_On
maxitree.MiniTree24_Off

This allows to have old/custom icon for default buttons, non-dependant of session or any upgrade = those are simply read on start.
