In that confirmed features list for TC 9 I think I've seen using native Windows icons as an option. So if icons turns out not that nice I'll use that option

It is interesting how TC will use different icon sets. Some icons are embedded into TOTALCMD.exe, some - into WCMICONS.dll, so buttonbar icons can't be changed w/o replacing these two files.

I agree - but what could be an improvement? As each single buttonbar item has an icon property it's a good idea that all buttons displaying internal or custom commands use the same command iconlib.

My idea would be to introduce a 'use standard iconset property' to a command (buttonbar, internal command, user-defined command and so on). In this case the icon and icon index are ignored by the new version. In addition a new setting is added wherever commands are configured globally that let the user choose a command iconlib.

[MVV]

Perhaps icon replacement may be done with respect to TC iconlibs (i.e. if some iconlib is used, TC transparently substitutes buttonbar buttons that refer to its own TOTALCMD.exe/WCMICONS.dll files with ones from iconlib).
Perhaps iconlib system could be improved by adding descriptor file allowing replacing any internal icon with some icon from some library, e.g.:

Code: Select all

[mappings]
1=myicons.dll,1
2=myicons.dll,2
...
69=wcmicons.dll,26
...

Here is another idea. Always display wcmcions.dll as icon but introduce a setting that overrules wcmicons.dll. So actually a different comdlib would e used. The downside of this is that TC would have to perforn a two-step mapping. First look in wcmicons.inc and then in the overruling inc file for a matching icon.

@efesreal, thanks for your icon libraries. I like these icons. Do you have also a standard icon bar for these icons. How can I install your icons to Total Commander?

[krstatzar]

to apply these icons in TC go to Configuration>Change Settings Files directly> and add a line
IconLib=c:\Program Files (x86)\totalcmd\Wcmicons.dll

under part
[Configuration]


First extract the icons to desired location in my case it was
c:\Program Files (x86)\totalcmd\Wcmicons.dll

The Wcmicons.dll offer from efesreal is much larger and the icons have an other order.

Jesus! Don't assign a command lib as filelist icon lib!

We desperately need a UI for this stuff.

Your memory is really amazing


Yes UI would be nice.
C'mon wanna check that beta out. Spring is almost over though

I'm working on other icons and bar icons. Planning complete all command icons (left ~150 icons). But i'm hardworking. Sorry.

Can't you or won't you upload your files to a trustworthy site?

Thank you for your tipp! Now I've also added a new DriveLib.

Did you create these icons yourself? I think this must be a really hard work. I don't try to ask, but did you have also create new drive icons?
For the moment I've took the "drives.dll" from Totalcmd.net (tc_disk_icons v.1.0).

Best regards!

I didn't create. I collect, combine, edit, sometime create each of them.

I'm using this to.

Sorry my English by the way.
