[v1.5 b830] What file has resources for systray icons?

Postby Josh » 04.10.2009 23:13:38

First I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I'd like to change the systray icons for Dexpot. I made myself some basic ones that I like as they fit in better with other Windows 7 systray icons.

I'm not a graphics designer, but I came up with these (the real icons have a transparent background rather than the green one in this pic): Image

Anyways I'm using a resource editor but I can't find which file stores the resources for Dexpot's systray icons. I changed the monitor icon in dexpot.exe, that only changed the application icon, not the systray icon. I only see the [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] etc icons in SevenDex.exe, I replaced them, but that didn't help either.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks for any help.

:dex:

The icons are not stored in a resource file. Instead I've added support for custom tray icons in build 849.

In the Dexpot program folder create a subfolder icons\somename, put your icons there and name them d1.ico through d20.ico. Then add this value to the Dexpot registry key (or portable.ini): TrayiconSet=somename

You can also replace dexpot.ico, d1a.ico through d20a.ico (icons highlighting the active desktop), next.ico, and prev.ico.
