Weird IconPackager Bug?

from Stardock Forums

I'm using v3.10.102 (x86) and the awesome Apogee icons; initially I was using a the (Blue) coloured icons but switched to (Amber) after installing the Mako5 WindowBlind.


Anyway, the Internet and Email icons in my Start Menu are still (Blue), as are my Devices with Removable Storage in My Computer


I've tried rebuilding the icon cache, repairing the icons, installing another completely different IP then installing Apogee (Amber), all to no avail?


Anyone else encountered this bizarre 'featurette'?


I'm not sure that it matters, but I'm running an Athlon 64 4000+, 2Gb DDR memory, duel 256Mb 6800 GT GFX cards (I've tried both SLI and non-SLI modes, same issue), and my OS is Windows XP Home SP2, with the latest nVidia drivers (8.0.9.8) installed.

SENTiNEL,

That is the correct displaying of the icons.

If you look in "C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\IconPackager\Themes" folder, you will see all the Apogee folders.

The "Apogee" folder has the full set of icons in it.

The "Apogee (Amber)" - for instance - has the icons that will be changed when you apply that sub-package. As you will see, the "My Computer", "Recycle Bin (full and empty)", "Hard Drive (normal, and network on/offline)", and folders are the only icons that change when you apply the Amber sub-package.

This holds true for all the color sub-packages, so when you apply a sub-package, IconPackager exchanges the icons found in the sub-package folder for the relevant icons found in the main "Apogee" folder - and then applies the exchanged colors and the balance of the main "Apogee" folder icons.

I believe Mormegil is going to update the pack to add some file icons to the main pack, as well as add some format sizes, but since we have not seen this yet - I am not sure on that one.

I hope this clears up the question for you.

Ah....


Damn do I feel stupid, I just assumed all the icons would be recoloured to Amber; well I await an update should Mormegil find the time, and being a (Blue) theme kind of guy at heart I'll probably install the next nice (Blue) WindowBlind that comes along revert to my original Apogee selection
