Colorizing question

from Stardock Forums
When using Icon Developer to change the color of an icon set does it leave the sets default colors and make a copy to change?

Probably best to manually save a copy of the set you plan to colorize with a different name, then apply any coloring changes to the copy - that way your original set is untouched. I don't believe ID does that automatically for you.

Yep. this is the way to do it.

I would need to change the .ip, .icl and folder name of the copy, right? Then how do I load the copy to IP? I tried changing all the names, having the copy in a temp folder and then doing an install from disk to IP. The new icon package name showed in IP but the icons didn't, either in the main package view or the preview window. What am I doing wrong? I did get the color to change though.

Open the original set in IconPackager, then choose File/Save Package As... while in Package View. Should give you the same set with a different folder name. Sorry I wasn't more specific before.
