Icon Packager themes issue

from Stardock Forums

 

Have just paid for and installed the latest version on Win 7 Home Premium x32. Not all of the themes I've tried to add since have installed including Dragon Lord, Legends and Blue Velvet. The titles for these appear in the GUI but the space above is just blank. Is this some sort of version incompatibility or am I missing something else?

When you download the Icon package of your choice from the Wincustomize site, extract the zip file to your desktop. Next , move the folder that contains all the icons to this location :  

C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Stardock\IconPackager

Then , go inside the folder that contains the icons and click on the very last icon, which is the IconPackager executable which automatically loads the icon set into the IconPackager UI.    -- Ace --


TIP: Make sure that the folder that contains the icons is actually inside the IconPackager Folder.

Good tip Ace. Here's another...from time to time there may be a problem with live folders not applying correctly. To avoid this you can do one of two things. First open Iconpackager and click on settings. Then click on rebuild icon cache then on repair icon images. Second if the first doesn't work.  Open your start menu and type in regedit. This will open the registry editor. go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and scroll down a ways until you reach exefile. Tap the icon next to it then go to shellex and open that. You'll find a folder called IconHandler. Right click on that and rename it to IconHandlerX. Close the editor and reboot. This way when you apply an iconpackage all the icons will change accordingly.
