Executive Summary
IconPackager is a program that allows users to change
nearly all of their Windows icons at once by applying
"packages" of icons. A package of icons contains icons
to replace most of the common icons on your Windows PC.
What makes IconPackager special is that unlike
Microsoft's themes which only change a few icons,
IconPackager changes hundreds of icons. Everything from
"My Computer", "Recycle Bin", Folders, all the way to
specific file format icons such as .doc and .xls files
and any other file type a user wishes to use.
IconPackager in action...
You look at icons all day. The same old icons. With
everything else in our lives, people expect to be able
to customize the aesthetics of what they use. Cell
phones, televisions, refrigerators, cars, etc. And yet,
by default, Windows will not allow you to change most of
your Windows icons. Windows supports "themes" that can
change a few of the Windows icons but most remain the
same.
Enter IconPackager.
IconPackager can change nearly every icon in Windows.
It can even change icons that most people would think
are impossible to change.
Users visit websites such as
WinCustomize.com and can download entire
packages of icons created by either Stardock or
IconPackager theme authors. These packages contain
replacements to pretty much every icon you see in
Windows. Once loaded, the user can than apply these
icons to their system to customize the look of Windows
to their tastes.
There are hundreds of icon packages available on the
Internet with more being made all the time. Want to have
a holiday looking desktop with all your icons changed?
Download one of the many holiday oriented icon sets.
Want your icons to look similar to icons on another
operating system? No problem they're out there.
You don't have to rely on icon packages made by
others either, creating your own icon packages is very
easy.
Just go through the icons you want to change and then
replace them one by one with icons you have found on the
net or created with an icon editing program such as
Stardock
IconDeveloper
IconPackager also includes Icon Explorer. It is
designed to make it easy to navigate through libraries
of icons and view them easily in different sizes and
formats so that you can get an idea of how an icon looks
and decide if it's one you would want to use.
The shareware version of IconPackager can do all this
and more. The enhanced registered version is only $14.95
(or can be purchased as part of
Object Desktop,
a suite of Stardock's desktop enhancements.
