submix8c Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Some icons are in Windows 98 SHELL32.DLL. Others are in other Windows 98 files.Bottom line - you NEED the Windows 98 files... And DO NOT overlay the Windows 7 files (bad ju-ju)!
os2fan2 Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 A problem you will encounter is that vista and later use 256+ colour icons, and the win16 stuff (pre-xp) show up as blanks when used as app icons, or worse still, Windows will go hunting for a new icon. I had to craft a new icon for tapei (recompiled for win32 in the NT4.5 thing. Before that, it would just pick an icon out of the iconcache file. You could extract the icons from Win98, or use a theme-set to update some of the icons. I did much the same with Windows 3.1 (using icons from WPSWin in the overlay).
