Icon customizer 0.1
3 min read
Windows 8.1 only
seapip.com/iconcustomizer%200.…
This is the first working version that actually works, it has no GUI whatsoever and it's experimental...
So if you want to try this out unzip the zip and put the Icons folder in C:\Windows\Resources.
Then Run Iconcustomizer.exe and you're ready to go!
Now open a cmd prompt as admin and run the following command:
cd %temp%\iconcustomizer
After that you can install the included elementary(mod) theme with the following command:
install elementary
To restore the default icons run the following command:
restore
You can also create your own icon theme by making a new folder in C:\Windows\Resources\Icons, Make sure the folder name has no spaces in it.
After that you can copy your icon files inside the folder and apply your icons with:
install youriconsfolder
Your icon pack does not need to include all icons you can also include just even one or two icons.
The program does not change the live folder icons yet, I'm working on it.
I hope it works fine and if someone is interested in helping me to bring this to the next level I would appreciate it.
Below you can see a overview of supported icons and the corresponding .ico files:

Icon customizer (fixed link)
5 min read
I made a mistake by posting the wrong link, here's the correct one: sta.sh/01pqycpmnbng
I tried to write a simple icon customizer myself since there are no good free alternatives as far I know that don't require editing system files.
This icon customizer works with registry modifications and desktop.ini modifications, so it does not modify any dll files.
-Computer
-Network
-Recycle Bin
-User folder
These icons can be customized with a .theme file or in Control Panel\Appearance and Personalisation\Personalisation\Change desktop icons.
*Explorer icon fallback to folder icons when not present: if explorer.ico does not exist it will use folder.ico
**Library icons fallback to normal icons when not present as example: if library-documents.ico does not exist it will use documents.ico
***Keep in mind it's favorites.ico and not favourites.ico
1.) Download the zip in the link on the top and extract the Icons folder to C:\Windows\Resources
2.) Place the Icons setup.vbs somewhere where you can always reach it, as example in your documents
3.) Double click the Icons setup.vbs
4.) You will see a popup, enter the number of the option you want and press enter or click ok
5.) When you get a popup asking for command prompt administrator permission click on yes
6.) Your icons will be installed in a mere few second and you will be greeted with a popup when done
Yes the elementary icon theme ported by me has been included as a example icon theme.

Is there a icon theme included?
Yes the elementary icon theme ported by me has been included as a example icon theme.
How to create a icon theme myself?
Create a folder in C:\Windows\Resources\Icons and use a folder name that has no spaces.
Then copy your icons in the folder and name them based on the list above(The following icons can be customized).
Not all icons are necessary, you can even change just 1 icon by adding only downloads.ico as example in a folder called downloads.
It has been tested and developed on Windows 8.1 update 1, it has not been tested on windows 7 or windows 8, anyone willing to test it on these OS would be appreciated. This does not work on Windows Vista and older!

Has it been tested?
It has been tested and developed on Windows 8.1 update 1, it has not been tested on windows 7 or windows 8, anyone willing to test it on these OS would be appreciated. This does not work on Windows Vista and older!
Any feedback would appreciated, this is just a testing version made out of a few scripts but if there's a interest from themers and other people I'll develop it further.
