Iceman's System Files

I think the topic title covers it, I was going to install Iceman's system files. It's my understanding that Y'z toolbar does what these files to so I'm assuming I don't need it. Is this so? Has anyone had considerable trouble with new system files?

I use all of Icemans sysfiles, theyre the best man, and yeah you dont need yztoolbar unless you wanna change em again of course. So go for it man, dont stray towards the SnowE2 or BBX Mercury shells, theyre not as complete as Icemans. ^_^ Have fun!

Hi,

I'm using the files since Christmas and I had no trouble. Only one thing: you must use big icons in the toolbar, if I use small icons it picks the XP default toolbar. Don't know if everybody has the same "bug".

see ya

Hey everyone, if you don't use icon sizes above 48x48, I would use the system files that I created. There is a huge thread in "Customizing Windows." Just find my last thread for the latest files. The icons only go up to 48x48 but the icon quality is better than Icemans in my opinion, especially folder quality. No jagged lines at all.

See the thread HERE. Read my last post there, not the first.

Also, I have replaced the toolbar bitmaps with my own. The IE toolbar is made to look like Mac IE 5, and all the toolbars have bitmaps for the small versions as well, where Icemans didn't. (It wasn't a bug where you couldn't use small toolbar icons, it was that Iceman did not create bitmaps for the small toolbar icons)

Here are the screenshots

BTW fkyakite how do you get the preview folder in blue? is it specific to SP1 files or could we get this also on the nonSP1 files?

The Thumbnail Folder icon (preview folder, as you called it) was created by myself from scratch. It's not specific to SP1 at all. Open up your shell32 in ResHacker and in the Icon Group directory it is one of the first 10 icons I think, I'll check when I get back to my room. Just replace the 96x96 icon size with the Thumbnail Folder icon. Once I get back I'll create the icon for you and upload it and let you know exactly which icon to replace.

EDIT: Okay I uploaded the icon. It contains sizes up to 128x128 in case you go that high.

Download it HERE. (Right click and save-target)

Open shell32.dll in ResHacker, go to the Icon Group tree, it's number 4. Right click the icon and replace the resource with the icon I made. That's it.
