Apogee set and Control Panel?

from Stardock Forums
Hello!

Is there a way to aply all Control Panel icons from Apogee set?
When I aply a set, only few of them change, despite the other icons for Control Panel that are in a pack.
I have checked a Contol Panel box on the right in IP. IP is 3.20 version.
I also tried to build custom set based on Apogee with all possible Control Panel icons defined and still the result is the same, only few were skined?!

Thank you

The extra control panel icons are in the main set only, the sub sets/other colors are folders only.
In IP settings, Opening Icon Packages, make sure Restore all icons before opening a new package is unchecked.
Load and apply the main set, first in list, once it is applied you can then choose any of the other colors/subs and have all icons in control panel skinned. After applying I find that you must select another set then go back to Apogee to get the drop down for the sub sets.

I get a similar thing Bubsan.The control panel has the icons applied to them but sometimes when I open it again only some of the icons seem to be applied.It only seems to be an intermittent problem and I can normally solve it by re-applying the Apogee set.Try loading and applying while the control panel is open.Initally as you apply the icons nothing will happen ...give it a couple of seconds more than you normally would before you close IP and they should all flicker and appear.This works for me,hope it helps.

Wow Cavan! All the years I have been using IP I did not know this. Thanks for the advice.

Well, I tried what Cavan suggested and it didin't work.
I unchecked in Settings as suggested, then tried applying 2 different sets that have almost all Control Panel icons defined and didin't work.
Then I closed and opened IP again to see if the changed setting would maybe work only after application restar, tried again and it doesn't work.
I had Control Panel open during the process, icons did flicker usualy twice, but again, only few of them changed.

You could try: open IP, Tools in menu bar, rebuild icon cache, repair icon images, repair shell icons. I am kinda remembering that the extra control panel icons require the purchased version, will not work with trial version.
