Changing executable icons.

[weEvil]

I found an app called Exe Icon Changer. Problem it its shareware, and it doesn't work too well since its a pain to use. But it does replace icons like its supposed to!

Anybody know of any other program that can do this? I'm looking for a substitute.

I tried Resource hacker... but it doesn't like uTorrent. This program does though.

Many programs, including µTorrent, are packed to save filespace and/or deter reverse engineering. You must unpack the the binaries before you can edit their resources. Fortunately µTorrent uses UPX (foss) which can be unpacked by running "upx -d utorrent.exe".

But editing the binary is unecessary imo in this case, µTorrent lets you place ico files in its settings directory or program folder when run in portable mode to change the main icon, tray icon, and also supports custom bmps for toolbars etc. You can also change the icon a shortcut to the program uses. This is preferable imo because it will save you work each time µTorrent is updated.

How can I change the system tray icon / GUI icon for µTorrent?

Put tray.ico (for the tray) and main.ico (for the GUI) in %AppData%\uTorrent, or in the same directory as utorrent.exe if you have the settings in the same directory. You must restart µTorrent for this to take effect. There are a selection of icons on the Skins page and User Interface Design section of the µTorrent forums.

How can I use µTorrent on a USB key or other removable drive?

Simply copy settings.dat (located in %AppData%\uTorrent ) to the same folder as uTorrent.exe, and you're done.

That's exactly the answer I was looking for.
