well ,it's a beta , i have the last official version 24.60.0100 , i haven't any
The dialog's button lists now feature the
image keys in brackets.
I guess it's because i 'm using the portable version , maybe PatchImagesPath=a:\xyplorer\images in config file point in the wrong folder
seeing i use it on a pen drive

as soon as I will home I will try the tutorial below with the installation vesion , so it could be usefull for other users

thanks
+ Patch Internal Images: Added a tweak that lets you completely customize
the toolbar images (and, in future, maybe even other internal images) in
an elegant, portable, and shareable way.
You simply state a path where you have your beautiful image files. The
path can be specified relative to <xydata> (XYplorer's app data path). For
example:
PatchImagesPath=Patch
Now you need one image file for each image you want to patch (i.e.,
replace the original image with). Each image file must have the image key
in the beginning of the filename, optionally separated by "-" from any
other parts of the name. For example, these files would both work for the
Branch View button (whose key happens to be "flatview"):
flatview-Cherries-24 x 24.png
flatview.png
Now on startup XYplorer will scan this folder and patch all images for
which it finds a valid file with a valid image key. The image files are
processed in alphabetical ascending order so if you have more than one
file pointing to the same image then the last one wins.
By default both size versions of the image are patched, small (16 x 16)
and large (24 x 24). But here's a way to specify which size you want to
patch: Append "1" for small, "2" for large to the key, separated by a
comma. For example:
flatview,1-Cherries-16 x 16.png
flatview,2-Cherries-24 x 24.png

ps maybe i could use the <xypath> for the internal path , it works with custom icons ?

=> It works with portable versions as well

Most probably you just didn't hold Ctrl when selecting Tools | Customize Toolbar. Names are shown when you do it properly, no matter what version you use.

Tip: button keys are also shown in a tooltip when you hold CTRL while hovering a button.
