IconPackager 4 sneak peak...

from JoeUser Forums

IconPackager 4 will let you change the colors of your icon packages on the fly.

For Windows Vista users, IconPackager will let users set their live folder icons independently of the icon package. So if a given icon package doesn't include support for Vista live folder icons, no problem, you can set them yourself.

The title bar and borders are from an upcoming WindowBlinds skin.

Agreed. I also like the ability to change colors of icons, there are a bunch of packages that would go perfectly with certain themes, they just needed color tweaking..

For the ones that don't know. When the "Display shortcut overlay" is unchecked in IP the Favorite Links in Explorer is empty. The shortcuts are still in the folder but they don't show in the Links.

Recolor sounds great...but that looks like the old recolor method...what a great thing it would be if ALL Stardock apps had WB's recolor method. :)

LOL!! I even saw this whilst browsing MyColors, but I went right past it because the WB looks like a blind I already have by Essorant.

Thanks for making me look a little closer :)

Well, I hope it will be better that 3.2 because all of the new packages is not even loaded up in Iconpackager it's just all blank icons. Even tried emailing Stardock Support..they have my ticket but no reply yet.

This is precisely what I am getting too. Filed support tickets and till now no fix for the issue, which means I can only use the few packs that came with IP. There hasn't been any updates since Oct 2007 either (and even that is a beta version), so the application is useless now. The last stable release was in Apr 2007.

I thought it was just me. I even contacted one of the authors of an iconpackage here. The author offered all of his help even was going to resend the package to me via email...nothing...nothing. (:(

Thanks for the sneak peek. It’s good to see that the developers are working to enhance IconPackager. This application is, in my opinion, an important part of desktop customization. The colorization feature is really exciting.

However, I do hope the developers are able to properly address the basic functionality issues of the application in order to make it more stable, reliable, and user-friendly – before they focus on new features.

My current OS is Vista Home Premium, and I realize it takes time for applications to be updated to support new operating systems. I used IP for a year on my old XP system, though, and I found it to be the most irritating part of Object Desktop to use. Sometimes it would properly apply packages and other times it would not. Or if I tried to change one icon, it would throw the whole package out of whack. IP has also been the cause of Windows Explorer crashes. Since the documentation for the program is so inadequate and the forums are of so little help, I often find myself having to fumble around with “restoring icons”, “rebuilding icon cache” etc. and never feeling sure just what to do. ;)

How exactly do you mean blank icons? Can you possible post a screen showing exactly what is displaying within the themes list of the application?

Lookin forward to the new IP. I always found when building packages, that after they are applied there is always a couple of icons that are all jaggy and pixelated and thats every package i have made, i didnt create them like that. I always thought it was some sort of bug with IP, so i hope it gets fixed in the new build.
