thank you, Luis! that's it! I misunderstood the purpose of this key and tried set it to 32 and 24, but not 16 :-))) thanks again, I'm happy now :-)))

sorry, I confused you with my screens... I made few install/uninstall cycles, and between some of them I made screens.ok, thanks for the help, I'll try to ask kavalera. no, it seems to be bug at xpize settings... more information -- the problem seems related to explorer only (desktop/my computer windows and common dialogs), because some of programs displays true color icons correctly... and after changing of my computer/recycle bin icons to true color through standard "customize desktop" from the dll's there icons really true color -- at "customize desktop" dialog it displayed correctly, but at desktop -- not :-( anyway, this constricts possible variants...

I'm tried this, no effect. great, is this present at readme? :-( My system perfectly works on 16bpp mode, with full color icons. after installing xpize something was destroyed. All I need to known to recover my win -- that kind of changes was applyed through xpize settings after selection icons size and, probably, after changing "desktop view style". Are you able to help me? or better I must ask kavalera? I attached some screen parts of current state of my system after installing Xpize. please, do not advise video card upgrade, I just need to restore previous system icons look, what was perfectly... thanks.

ok, thanks for answer. I had downloaded tweakui from ms site, there I found "rebuild cache", cache was rebuilt successfully... but icons remain like 16 colors... I also checked registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics there Shell Icon BPP set to 32 -- no effect. after switching to 24 bpp video mode all icons displayed correctly, but I can't use this mode at my monitor, only 16 bpp. XPero, how does you think, that could affect my icons? may be incorrect uninstall of Xpize? as I remember, the problem appeared after launching "xpize settings" and switching icons to 64pixels size. what kind of changes were made at this time? I'll thank to any ideas, registry keys, pathed file names etc.

Hello, please help, the same problem, but I have no 32bpp item at properties. I have 4MB video and LCD monitor, and even can't change bpp to 24 because of 1280x1024 video mode :-(( If I switch to 1024x768x24 all icons displayed correctly as hires, but at 16 bpp mode -- like 16 colors they have I make full uninstall of xpize, but icons stay destroyed :-(( I kill icons cache file at c:\Documents and Settings\***\Local Settings\Application Data\, but after rebooting it was not rebuilt :-( can anyone help me? thanks
