BoardBabe Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 How can it be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaletik Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 (edited) I made an WinRAR sfx archive that contains the "Themes" folder (located in %programfiles%\WinRAR) and extracts it to %programfiles%\WinRAR when its executed. SFX comment is the following:Path=%programfiles%\WinRARSavePathSilent=1Overwrite=1Then I execute the reg file with the following content:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinRAR\Interface\Themes]"ShellExtBMP"="C:\\Programme\\WinRAR\\Themes\\WinRAR_XP_32x32\\RarSmall.bmp""ActivePath"="C:\\Programme\\WinRAR\\Themes\\WinRAR_XP_32x32"Once you have WinRAR installed with theme you can grab these keys. These are the keys for XPero's WinRAR Theme. Edited October 21, 2005 by Dynaletik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoardBabe Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 (edited) I found that out too, but check it out! Im guessing your WinRAR shortcut (start-menu + recent programs) is still the old WinRAR icon...If you manually change theme even that Icon (shortcut to winrar) changes, I want that to change also....PS, here is the reg entries I have so farWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\WinRAR\Interface\Themes]"ShellExtBMP"="C:\\Programfiler\\WinRAR\\Themes\\WinRAR_XP_48x48\\RarSmall.bmp""ActivePath"="C:\\Programfiler\\WinRAR\\Themes\\WinRAR_XP_48x48"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\WinRAR\DefaultIcon]@="C:\\Programfiler\\WinRAR\\Themes\\WinRAR_XP_48x48\\RAR.ico"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\WinRAR.REV\DefaultIcon]@="C:\\Programfiler\\WinRAR\\Themes\\WinRAR_XP_48x48\\REV.ico"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\WinRAR.ZIP\DefaultIcon]@="C:\\Programfiler\\WinRAR\\Themes\\WinRAR_XP_48x48\\RAR.ico"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WinRAR\DefaultIcon]@="C:\\Programfiler\\WinRAR\\Themes\\WinRAR_XP_48x48\\RAR.ico"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WinRAR.REV\DefaultIcon]@="C:\\Programfiler\\WinRAR\\Themes\\WinRAR_XP_48x48\\REV.ico"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WinRAR.ZIP\DefaultIcon]@="C:\\Programfiler\\WinRAR\\Themes\\WinRAR_XP_48x48\\RAR.ico"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WinRAR archiver]"DisplayIcon"="C:\\Programfiler\\WinRAR\\Themes\\WinRAR_XP_48x48\\Setup.ico" Edited October 21, 2005 by BoardBabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought about that, but it isn't that important for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 Yep.But HOW can the icon change also be applied please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark007 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Use a resource hacker to change the icon in the 1st position within the main executable file before packaging it.shark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 Hmmm, well I don't think that's the proper way to do it. (The same way as it's done wen you manually change theme). Because its not the .exe that changes icon, just the .lnk. So im guessing some reg key?But I haven't successfully found a reg key using regshot or any other method, for that particular "change".

oioldman Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 having a quick look, you'll notice the shortcut can have a different icon, so right click | Properties | Change IconNotice your location, it is in the theme folderIt may be that this needs to be updated in your sfx, or reg key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8er_boi Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")WshShell.Run app & "%Cdrom%\Applications\Winrar\WinRAR_Smile_d_48x48.1_00.theme.rar"WScript.Sleep 2000WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"WScript.Sleep 1500WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"i'm using this vbscript.just change the theme path and click it!

fly2279 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 You could also run a batch file and create a new shortcut to winrar in your start menu. To do that you can use xxmklink, you can search google for it to get the exe and a list of commands. With this you can specify which icon is used for the shortcut.
