+ 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 searated 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
> Tip: To determine the image key of a button hold CTRL when you click
"Tools | Customize Toolbar...". The dialog's button lists now feature the
image keys in brackets.
I think the most interesting icons are the ones we as users pick for ourselves. The CFI (Custom File Icons) window is already incredibly powerful, you can assign icons to pretty much whatever you want. The only thing I don't see being able to adjust is built-in toolbar button icons, but that can be done with the tweak mentioned by @highend.
