To made 7Zip File Manager support Multi-Color toolbar image, you need just change one line code:

File name: 7zip\FileManager\App.cpp

Line 152, Change original code

  imageList.Create(
	  LargeButtons ? 48: 24, 
	  LargeButtons ? 36: 24, 
	  ILC_MASK,
	  0, 0);

to

  imageList.Create(
	  LargeButtons ? 48: 24, 
	  LargeButtons ? 36: 24, 
	  ILC_COLORDDB | ILC_MASK,
	  0, 0);

Then compile it, you will get a your own edition with Multi-Color toolbar support.

The attachment is the result I compiled, and I replaced the image of "Add" and "Test" button with Multi-Color image to show the affect. Just download and replace the official 7ZFM.exe with this one.

I hope that someone could create a beautiful file manager by multi-color images

Enjoy it!

A capture of this edition .

awesome

-edit, how do you get to the file "App.cpp" ? do you have to decomile the exe somehow ? (are these changes doable by commandline?)

would greatly appreciate your help

i'll work on modifying my icon pack to include this

Thanks for your work first, I'm using your icon pack now

No, I didn't decompile the exe, I can edit the file "App.cpp" because that 7-zip is an Open-Source software, I can modify its source code and compile my own version.

But I think this change could not complete by commandline -- Maybe a cracker could do it, I'm just a programmer .

oh right, so you'd have to use NSIS via commandline to make the installer then install from there?

i'd much rather just do patching (so the download is a lot smaller) i've posted on sourceforge to suggest your addition to the code, (without taking credit for your find ), hopefully it'll maybe appear in a newer 7zip build

-by the way, welcome to msfn

I can sure that change of this line is the only one condition to support multi-color, you can apply this pack to the edition I posted .

The attachment does not include the reshacker.exe because it's too large, you need to get it from bledd's icon pack.

7zFM_Toolbar.7z

The compare of my source hacked edition and the edition from http://highspeedbuilds.110mb.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=2

this is what it looks like without the high colour patch, i might try and modify these to only include low colours if i can't find a way to change the current 7zfm

I cannot understand how you changing icons in 7zFM.exe ??? I cannot see any changes what i do :\

google for a tool called 'reshacker' we're just opening 7zfm with that and replacing the bitmaps, then saving
