Any Taskbar modules that support custom icons for programs? Thread last updated on 2006-03-26 00:24:57

Does anyone know of a taskbar module that will let you assign different icons/graphics for specific programs? Like instead of showing a folder for explorer, you could assign any graphic you wanted?

I think you'd have to change the icon in the .exe itself.

I quote from the xtaskbar (1.4.1) docs:

You can define Custom Icons for Applications with the following:

*xTaskbarIcon "SubString from Class or Windowname" "FULL Path to a (Icon-)File"

All Applications, which "Class" or "Windowname" match the "SubString", get the Icon from the choosen (Icon-)File in all Taskbars. *xTaskbarIcon supports Icon Extraction based on IconIndexNumber, so you can extract even more Icons.

Example:
*xTaskbarIcon "*free*" "c:\winnt\explorer.exe,8"
All Applications, which have the string "free" somewhere in their Classname or Windowname, get the Eight Icon of Explorer.exe, which is in this case an "Alert Icon".

Well I'll be damned...

Not necessarily - if you learn to behave better.

No, he's right. We're all doomed.

No. Not all of us. Just him.
