How to change compressed files icon to WinRAR's ?

[salam2009]

Hey guys,
Is it possible to change the default icon of compressed files (rar, zip, iso, etc.) to the one that WinRAR uses by editing [PackerPlugins] in Wincmd.ini ?
Here's what I'm seeing now in v9.0a:

I tried installing different icon libraries but couldn't like any of them. Note that enabling "Show default folder/file icons from Exporer" option makes the folders icon even worse & doesn't change the compressed ones to WinRAR's either!
I'd highly appreciate anyone's help.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi salam2009, just search the forum for 'winrar icon' to see it is not wanted by the author of TC.

I on my own just found this btw
viewtopic.php?p=324638#324638


The icon is an indicator of the behavior of archive inside of TC; they are treated like a folder.

So, there's no way to change the icon while keeping TC's behavior? I just don't like it. It's so generic & boring!

Icon library - http://rgho.st/6JKQZFYH9

Copy file from link into TC folder
Close TC
Add to section [Configuration] in wincmd.ini
IconLib=%Commander_path%\oxy-gnome4TCv2.dll
Restart TC

I've already checked this Icon library but didn't like the one used for compressed files. I also checked the other libraries but couldn't like them either.
That's why I was looking for a solution other than this (maybe by editing Wincmd.ini or something). Unless there's a library which isn't listed in:
http://totalcmd.net/directory/iconpack.html
In that case, I need to check it to make my decision.

You don't like RAR icon for compressed files from http://rgho.st/6JKQZFYH9? Hmm. What kind of RAR icon do you prefer? I can try to change or you
can DIY. Look at http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/

Whoa, didn't see that coming!
I thought your link has the same icon library of oxy-gnome4TCv2 found in iconpack link, so I overlooked it at first.
But after checking it now, I'm happy to say that you just nailed it!
Thank you so much for the amazing help, buddy

I stil don't understand why the author disabled the ability to change the RAR icon using Internal Association but you can still change the icon with Icon Library.

ooops

It seems to be fixed now in TC 9.20β
 

25.03.18 Added: Icon from internal association takes precedence over internal packer icon (e.g. for *.rar) (32/64)

I updated to the latest beta and cannot confirm that this new icon feature actually works. Do I need to check some option or what?
