the latest logo is, I think, perfect - I was starting to think some of the previous versions were aimed at kids! This new one has an air of immediate interest and identity unlike other logos and shows XYplorer to be a modern product - unfortunately these things are important to the success of product sales.

Code: Select all

v9.00.0017 - 2010-04-16 16:00
    * New app icon, the "Black Orange" (sorry, no better idea).
    + New tweak to load app icon from a stand-alone icon file:
        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).
    - Removed tweak IconResource.

How about XY bean? :D


>>"+ New tweak to load app icon from a stand-alone icon file:"
Would it be hard work to support ICL too?
Like
IconFile=XYplorer_CTB_Resource.icl /18

Or the "BOWIE" = Black-Orange-White Icon Enhancement?
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.

Yes, not bad... :)

... but please, to whom it may concern: NO discussion about the name of the icon! :roll:

Just updated and discovered the customizable icon. Great feature! I always had a little trouble distinguishing XYPlorers running with and without admin priviliges in the taskbar.

Problem solved now. The admin-plorer gets the old icon, the user-plorer the new one. :)

See if my attachment will help.

BTW I search for the old "xyplorer-32bit-256.png" found in the past on the XYplorer - License Lounge.

And I would like to have the old icon in the XYplorer.exe too.

thank you very much Stefan, but i got the old icons from a rather dubious source somewhere on the internet. i attached them to this post. they are in 48x48, 32x32 and 16x16 pixels, but 32x32 looks best in all situations for me.
aahhh, XYplorer looks a lot friendlier again :D
