JiveMasterT Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 (edited) why? 586711375[/snapback] because it's huge. mine was 10 px larger and they deleted it... yours is enormous.... then again, maybe you're compensating for something? :rofl: nice icon tho.

Herby Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 (edited) I dont know if this has been answerd but how do you if possible make big icons,Thanks586706008[/snapback] You can try this trick, but it applies to all icons, you can use a dock (like Yz Dock or Object Dock) or use a program like WindowFX (IconX does'nt support nameless Icons). After I added this, the bar on the side where the details appear.. like in my computer on the side it display's the disk info and such when you click on that... that bar dissappeared... anyone know how to get it back?!?:pinch::586706065[/snapback] Use "Add My Computer -e.reg" (-e = Without Explorer pane). :)) the google earth shortcut doesn't work with the free version of google earthand could you make a shortcut for paint.NET 586708234[/snapback] The Google Earth Icon probably does'nt work because it's installed in a different directory. The easiest way to fix it is by editing the path in the registry (I'm a little busy atm but I'll look into it). I've added Paint.NET to my todo list (you can also try to create it with SCCU). :)) thnx herby for that looks great im downloading now n will test it out:edit: does this app allow for the creation of folders where in the context menu we can have it add apps we want to load? 586711019[/snapback] It can't create folders like that, but I'll PM Wiredbits about it. I hope he survives Wilma (the hurricane). btw: the link you PMed me does'nt work. :// here is a new shortcut for launching firefox,opera,ie all in one shortcut,it is based on the opera shortcut hope you like it. 586711068[/snapback] Thanks! :happy:: Edited October 23, 2005 by Herby Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/224324-desktop-icons-without-text/page/26/#findComment-586713486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiveMasterT Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 to make large icons, I just cranked up the size of my icons to like 64x64 or maybe it was larger... i forget. as long as the icons you are using have that size in them then they will look good... if they don't then they will look all funky and distorted. this does change your icons sizes throughout the rest of the OS, so be careful. for me, i use detailed view on all of my windows and in my start menu, i have only a few items on the right and a list on the left so it looks good. i can post a screen shot if this doesn't make sense.

Herby Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 ^^ I've added them both to my todo list. :) About the reg file: you must use expandable string values when you want to use environment variables like %WinDir%, %UserProfile% %ProgramFiles% (see tutorial). You can also replace %ProgramFiles% with C:\\Program Files.

Tosca Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I think that this is the longest thread I've ever seen (apart from jokes etc.)! I know that Herby thrives on challenges and responds almost instanataneously so here's an easy one: the updated .reg files etc. are added to the .zip in the first post in this thread, so how about also adding the tutorial? It's at post 378 (I think that's the correct one), but if it was in the first .zip, there would be everything there together - the .reg files, individual notes, along with a "how to". I also have a comment about the software that's been, or being, produced to do these tweaks automatically. I acknowledge the skill that Herby has clearly demonstrated here and also the skill of the programmer(s) who have taken these techniques and put them into a package that is "user friendly" for those who don't like to play with the registry. Personally, I prefer to know exactly what's going on, so would rather do the tweaks by hand and have the frustration/pleasure of sorting out problems if they don't work exactly as planned. If such software had been produced and put onto the market without Herby sharing these great secrets with everyone, I wouldn't have had so much pleasure in creating textless icons.
