Easy, If Iceman's tutorial r bronken, then try downloading his dll packages and look the files that he tweaked

Is not a big help, but more than nothing :P

Peace

Well then post it in one board, not 3...flooding won't get anywhere any faster than one post will.

To answer your question...the files you edit depend on which program you are editing..trillian and other programs are pretty easy...while some are harder.

im new to this forum site. . .the ones i am a regular to nobody posts on more than one board. since there were 3 topics it fit into i thought it would be okay to post 3 different threads, my mistake

that works for the DLL packages but then all id have to do is replace the ones in my system folder, what he does though is gives you the .ico files to download and there a link to a tutorial that doesnt exist, so theres no information on what files the .ico files need to be replaced in.

thank you though :D

What actual files do you want to mod?

Most programs that have tray support have their icons stored in their executable file. (ie: winamp.exe). This rule has a few exception though... ie: qcdplayer. It's files are modded into another linked *.dll.

If you tell us the files/programs you wan't modded I'm think somebody could help you here. :)

Cheers

winamp, AIM, norton, winzip, the network connections indicator, and nvidia

These can all be modded by reshacking their executable. All you need is a icon editor and you can change their colour/saturation/hue. (usually to black - white).

Save the file and you can put them back in the proggie. :)

I don't own a nVidia card but I'm pretty sure you mod a file called nvmctray.dll. put a little 16x16 icon there. You could copy it off a good quality screenie and turn it into an icon. :)

With the network connections indicator, I'm not sure which part of it you want to moddify...

To Change the net connection display in the systray:

Reshack Netshell.dll

Icon group:

190, 191, 192 and 193

You'll need the actual pics though. It's really hard to explain what they look like through ascii. ;)

If you have Icemans files. Open them up in reshacker and see what they are. If you feel comfortable modding them, do it.

Be carefull though, back everything up until you really know what you are doing. :) -Who really ever does though. :P

Cheers

If you can convert them to *.png you can use '@icon sushi'. Drag and drop them into the main window, export as *.ico, reshack the desired files with the new ones and your Set. :)

With AIM, winzip, etc, you will probably need to export the original files and mod them in a converted format.

@icon sushi can export icons as *.png's, then you can edit them in photoshop, paintshop or the gimp, etc... Change the convert them to black.white,sauration, whatever and save them.

And use @icon Sushi to convert them back. :)

Then reshack them back in.

Cheers
