I'm new to here, so I hope this is okay to post here.

 

Basically, I have tried this before when I was aiming for the whole Mac OSX look, I wanted the system tray icons from Mac. But I have a different theme now, but I'm looking for some white Mac OSX system tray icons to use. However, I have no clue how to replace them with the default program ones. I asked on another forum, where they told me to use Flyakite, but it never worked for me. I know you can do it using Reshacker but I don't know how..

 

Now, I was hoping somebody could supply me with a rar full of the icons I described (if not, dw, I can find some) and could somebody explain to me, step-by-step how to do this, please? I'd really appreciate it.

Hi Tekmosis !

 

Why Flyakite don´t work for you ?

 

Trayicons are special, they are 16*16 pixel and they included in systemfiles (you need Reshacker to edit the files) ...

 

Please make a screenshot of what you want ...

I don't know why it doesn't work tbh.

 

Okay, well I have Reshacker. Because I have a black task bar theme on my computer, I would like white icons if possible..

 

This is what my taskbar is like now with the MSN icon and AVG icon. I would like those in white, obviously not exactly, but in a mac sort of theme.

Much like these.. they're not the same icons, but that style.

If you like the MAC-Look I would try it again, it`s a great Mac-Transform-Pack, secure too (and change tray-cions too) ...

 

(Start your PC in safemode (press F8 during bootprocess) and install the Flyakitepack - uninstall it in safemode too)

 

This is the most easy way, to edit your systemfiles and change the icons is not that easy for newbies in systemfile-customizing  :neutral:

Res Hacker seems like the best choice.
Once you have learned how to do it, you can request the icons in the graphic request form of crystalxp.net

Here and here are tutorials how to use Reshacker - beware of doing something wrong, changing systemfiles can crash XP ...

 

(and you need to find the new tray-icons you want, they are not included in XP-Files)

Maybe Finderbar can help you out?
You could also try Objectbar which has the function to import a WindowBlinds skin so the bar would look even better, but as it is no freeware i should try Finderbar first.

 

You could also try to follow this tutorial.
