IconPackager, part of Object Desktop for Windows, is one of
the most versatile, and powerful, yet easy to use shell customisation programs available
today! IconPackager allows you to customise features in Windows 95/98, Windows NT
4.0, and Windows 2000 that are not accessible from the standard user interface. Some of
these features may improve system performance, some may make your life with Windows a
little easier, and others are purely cosmetic. Several features of IconPackager make it
stand head and shoulders above most other customisation programs that are currently
available.
| Icon Packages |
One of the main features
of IconPackager are Icon Packages. An Icon Package allows you to save all your customised
icon settings to a file.
When a theme is saved, all icon locations are saved to the theme file of your choice. A
theme file can then be easily loaded directly into the program at a later time. By
applying the icons to your system, you can have a new look and feel to your desktop within
seconds. Icon Packages simply provide you with a quick and efficient way of changing all
your icons at once. It works just like magic.
IconPackager comes preinstalled with a
variety of Icon Packages that can enhance the look of your entire Desktop. If you find
that none of the themes are to your liking, then visit the Themes
page. Here you will find an extensive collection of themes that you’re sure to like. |

| Icons & Cursors |
|
| The main part of the
program is made up of seven different tabs. The tabs on the program associate the icons
and cursors, with the area that is affected when replacing a file. The graphics on the
different tabs, show you their true size, as they are displayed on your system. As you
have probably found out, these icons cannot normally be changed, but IconPackager gives
you this ability. The seven areas consist of
the following:
Desktop: My Computer, My
Documents, Network Neighborhood, Internet Explorer, In Box, My Briefcase, Recycle Bin.
Start Menu: Programs,
Favorites, Documents, Settings (including Control Panel and Printers), Find, Help,
Run, Log Off, Suspend, Shut Down.
