How to load alternative app icon ?

Hi all
I tried to apply the tweak
but nothing happens.
In what section of what file ini have I to add that line ?
Can I restart with saving or without saving ?
I tried many options but I don't see any difference versus before.

The line "IconResource=" is already present in the INI file so don't need to add it. To make sure you edit the correct INI open it in XY via "Tools | Open Configuration File...". Search for "IconResource" and change the value to 1. Save the file. In XY choose "File | Restart without saving". Now you should see the new black/white icon.

Thanks Pagat, but nothing works.
When I run "Open Configuration File" Notepad opens %appdata%\XYplorer.ini which does not contain any line with "IconResource".
Nevertheless I edit the file by adding that line in [General] section, I save it, then I restart XY without saving.
I don't see any black/white icon, nowhere.
Anyway I can live without it, I believed that many icons should be changed, like a new set of icons for files, folders, tabs, and so on.
Thanks again.

This line is there in an old ini
after the
second start of XYplorer v9.00.0004 or later
Code: Select all
[Settings]
; ...
; Tweak: set to 1 to use alternative app icon
IconResource=0
Setting IconResource= to '1' will show an alternative black/white icon for XYplorer:
IconResource=1

Doesn't work on Windows 7 x64 if you set taskbar properties to hide labels

@Don
FYI: CTB XY-icon not reseted to default
I have an XY.exe icon in my CTB
which is switched to alternative icon too (xyplorer.exe /2)
but not reseted to (xyplorer.exe )
after restoring the default (IconResource=0) in the ini
v9.00.0010

Great thanks, Stefan, for your explanation.
Now it works (on XP SP3), not yet tested on W7.

Just to be clear for the successors who find this thread:
this IconResource tweak is exchanged by IconFile= tweak
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]
[...]
- Removed tweak IconResource.
