    librarie tutorial, by brink, did i miss anything?


    Hey guys i followed the guide here
    Libraries Icon - Change Default Icon

    And it worked great :)
    tho one of the icons, never changed for me, i checked and dubble checked the images and the guide still that last icon never changed for me, so i must have missed something..

    Why is it that the .ico file never changed on the 3rd icon, but the 1st and the 2nd icon changed fine.
    What did i miss? i really hate that 3rd icon, so damn ugly have to change it !!!!

    Thx in advance :)

    From what I see in the tutorial you didn't miss anything, but I just woke up!

    Methinks the icons for the taskbar are kept or obtained from a different folder.

    if you right click the libraries icon on the taskbar and then to change icon, can you find the one you want that way?

    Thx for the quick reply Anak :)

    When i right click the libraries icon (nr 3 on my image in the first post) i have no such options, i get following

    Windows Explorer
    unpin this program from taskbar

    thats it :/
    when i enter libraries and right click i have following options

    View
    Sort by
    Group by
    Refresh
    -----------
    Paste (grey'd out)
    Paste shortcut (grey'd out)
    -----------------------------
    New


    When i go to Desktop and right click libraries i get following

    Open
    Open in new window
    -----------------------
    restore default libraries
    -----------------------
    scan for virus
    move to quarantaine
    -----------------------
    Copy
    -----------------------
    Create shortcut

    Critical point.

    When you right click the taskbar icon to change it; browse to the folder that already contains the ones you are using for the main Library. Then pick one from there.

    After you rt ck on #3 you see this
    Windows Explorer
    unpin this program from taskbar
    rt. ck. on windows explorer that will open up context to properties. ck on properties.

    If it is the one you want, then yes, pick it, but it should be instantaneous once you click on apply. If not then restart, and see if it takes effect.

    This may make it clearer:

    Don't forget to click on Okay after Apply......

    Start where it says:
    Instead, let’s create new, customized icons for our taskbar. To do this easily, open the folder that contains all of your pinned icons by entering the following in the Explorer address bar:

    Sure, just go up to the scales in the upper right corner of one of my posts usually the one that helped the most, and click on that. you don't have to put in a comment, but it's courtesy to do so.
    Then click on I approve.

    It will then show on your User CP page.

    Easiest way to get there is to go to the top of the page you'll see User CP to the right of center.

    Happy to have you aboard xTL enjoy your stay here at W7F :)
