    I'm using the same theme but just a different start button, but for that start button you can't use the small superbar! So give me a sec and I'll convert it for you.

    I am only getting the black icons to appear on some of the folders. I have checked permissions and ownership and they all appear okay. Any suggestions?



    [quote=Generator;19313]"Mr GRiM's Glossy Blue, Black Glass and Ultimate Icon Pack" Installer

    With kind permission from Mr GRiM, I thought I'd make an install script to make the installation of the excellent 'Mr GRiM's Glossy Blue Icon Pack' a lot easier for everyone.

    It's a couple of batch files that run without aid from any other third-party applications. It runs from within your current Windows 7 setup without the need to boot into another operating system or without the need to enter Safe Mode either.

    You need to delete the Thumbnail cache, I think you can do it by running a disk cleanup, I think there is also the option to do it on CCleaner, I personally had some luck by setting folder options to never display thumbnails, I applied the options and then set it back again and found that the folders were all refreshed.

    Hope this helps :)

    I ran CCleaner to clean up the the thumbnail cache, and then un-installed and re-installed the icon pack again. Everything looks good now.

    Thank You Sir!

    Hey 1st time poster but have been browsing the forums here for the last few days. noticed the excellent work in here and wanted to make a request. if possible i'd like the orb part removed from this icon and turned into a start orb. Counter-Strike: Source Orbs by ~firba1 on deviantART (i'd like the black orb with white soldier)also wondering if there are others here that were chosen to host the windows 7 launch home parties. wanted to toss around some ideas for the "media mania" party theme
