Changing the Zmodeler icon images?

[Richard]

Hey there

Could somebody please tell me where the icon image topic is?

I remember reading a topic like this last year not to long ago, you can change the file icon image for Zmodeler?

Thanks.

regedit,

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZModeler2.scene\DefaultIcon
change default value to location of desired Icon. E.g. "C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,10" or
"C:\Windows\web\MySuperIcons\MyZModelerSuperIcon.ico"

[Richard]

Um...but I need the images before I can change that?

There was a topic somewhere on the forum with some new images?

[Oleg]

i don't know.. should I? you can search for it probably... may be google can help on this subject too..

[Richard]

I found this one, I believe it has to be this one. As this was the only topic I found via search on a new icon.

[Richard]

Where do I find this?

C:\Windows\web\MySuperIcons\MyZModelerSuperIcon.ico

I went into the web folder and I cannot find any icons, other than bullet and an exclamation mark.

Do I have to edit some sort of registry?

[Oleg]

yup, or take the "round" version of it from here:

The .ICO is a 16x16 or 32x32 version of file thumbnail for windows xp. If I'm not mistaken, Vista and Windows 7 prefer .PNG version of files for thumbnails.

You can copy or just place this (PNG) file whereever you like. "MySuperIcons" is just an example where you can place them. "C:\Windows\web" folder is a native folder for walpapers and other "user interface" suff of your system, that is why I suggested to put the file there.


Yes, you need regedit and to edit location of default icon for .z3d files if you want to change them.

I only have Windows XP Home edition.

Where do I download this program, I did a search in yahoo. I found a Microsoft link.

It does say, you can obviously damage the system if not used correctly.

[Oleg]

then you surely should not use and stay with original ZModeler icons.

I'm not a programmer or an expert in using or understanding Windows XP registry or any indepth detail about this OS, so I would be relying on somebody to help me.

I was thinking just a moment ago that it may not be worth the trouble.
