The Tray Icon

Okay - I downloaded a trial version of PE Explorer (PE for Portable Executable or something like that) and used the icons posted by spngbb here to try to hack the samurize tray icon. I was able to get inside the resources of the .exe, and replace individually the five icon sizes. The save was successful, and now Samurize displays the little Konfabulator gears in the start menu and the explorer.

Sounds good? Get this:

The old gray and blue S is still in the taskbar. Call me tarded, but aren't there only a few places a program can get its resources? Why does Samurize still "know" it should use that icon? What's the dilly, yo? Yes, I've rebuilt the icon cache and restarted the computer.

I want to find this out soon, before the trial expires on PE explorer. God knows I don't want to pay $129 to replace the samurize icon. Thank you everybody!

you tried refreshing your icon cache?

You're doing this the wrong way, that will only replace the icon for client.exe.

Here's what you do, open up PE Explorer > Resource Editor > looks for RC Data at the tree list I think > TCLIENTFORM > now at the window on the right, look for TCLIENTFORM = class (TForm) > there should be a TCoolTrayIcon. Right-click and Edit.

A window should pop up and you can change it from there.

I know this is a little vague cos I'm on another computer so I can explain it thoroughly. And thank th0re for this tutorial.

Aho, sweet! Just kinda browsing around, and I saw this thread. Edited my client, and it looks good.

Appreciate the step-by-step instructions, they were easy to follow.

You, Nate, are my favorite aqua-softian for at least a week. I guess you too, th0re, since he gave you credit. I've been agonizing over this for as long as I've been modding (about 5 months, I guess). The gears in my taskbar are a beautiful sight.

Thank you so much!!
