Customize icons

Is it possible to add pictures / downloaded images to use as the desktop icons?  The yellow folder and other options are pretty boring and I want to customize the icons you see on the desktop.  I am also doing the same thing on a computer that is running Windows XP.  Thank you, Sean

  • Cannot move tabs or customize icons

    I can't move tabs by entering with DML, they move very well by pressing ctrl + shift + page down/PAGE. Prev. And when I press 'Customize', I can't rearrange icons. I tried safe mode, I uninstall Firefox completely. I can very well move around or icons in Windows, Firefox

    Did not help. It's a weird bug, in other browser all very well, but based on Firefox, they do not move. I tried the version of dev. Waterfox and Firefox. When I take icons in customizing its has animation that I catch them, but they don't move.

    Edit: Your post gave me idea. I have created new profile Windows and Firefox it quite well, I don't know what he dislikes in my profile, but I guess that the problem is solved

  • Remove obsolete entries "icon" of those listed in "Customize icons in the Taskbar" (CP) or the show hidden icons "Customize..."(taskbar)? ' ""

    On the Notifications tab & icons, is there a way to get rid of obsolete icons and programs that collect there? You can access to this through Control Panel or by clicking the link to customize after clicking the arrow display icons hidden in the taskbar. I tried a few CPU temp programs that they are listed still here monitoring. If they cannot be deleted, then any program that is to want a time display in the taskbar will be there forever and list will grow and grow!

    Interesting.  The download at this link is a .reg file that makes the following changes:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify]
    'PastIconsStream ' = -.
    "IconStreams" = -.

    Fair enough, it removes the two values of a key.

    What is interesting, is that these values contain binary data streams, apparently encrypted.  Mine are more than 64 K bytes in size!  Foreign to the notion of normal registry operations...  So bad that same RegEdit is struggling with its small dialog to display all that data!

    Who, in their minds at Microsoft's storage of large chunks of binary data in the registry like this?

    Why is it not these data in a file instead?  No one listened when all these millions of people are complaining about bloating and demanding of periodical Vista reinstall?

  • Customize icons on collaboration and reminder calendar

    Hi all

    My question are:

    When I plan an event on the calendar of the WCI collaboration (version 4.2 of Collaboration), customize the icons for the different types of events?
    When I plan an event, can I get a reminder on my days to send two or three before this event?

    Thank you

    Vincenzo

    Published by: vcuringa on May 5, 2009 05:02

    Collaboration doesn't have this feature out of the box, I wish they did, it's a good idea.
    The calendar doesn't send reminders, even after a sync with exchange. The only way I know is created a project and get the email for this scheduled task.

  • I use FF 20.0.1. The download icon does not appear on my toolbar, I can activate it by clicking on the empty space, but the icon is invisible.

    Also when I select 'customize' for the toolbar, the icon appears, but when I go out to 'customize' icon disappears once more.

    Start once in Mode safe may have caused Firefox to recreate a new file localstore.rdf which worked.

  • How can we separate "Icons and text" of the browser control buttons (back, forward, etc.) since the icons on the toolbar of the add-on?

    With us, it is not a problem. I don't know why it's different here at work - even editing, same settings (as far as I know).
    Windows Vista
    Firefox 7.0.1
    Status 4 Evar installed to activate the add-on bar in a status bar

    I have a NoScript module icon in the corner, which works very well. If I add a GreaseMonkey icon in the menu customize, "Icon and the text" is displayed for this icon as the icon and text browser controls (home, stop, etc.). Other icons the module show icon and the text (S4E, for example). NoScript is the only one I've found so far that collapses down to just an icon.

    I like this leads to the bar having a higher status (add-on). Basically what I want is for only the icon is displayed in the State (toolbar Add on), while keeping icons and text in the browser controls. My current solution is simply to remove the other icons of the add-on - it from the status bar (add-on), but which removes the ease of turning on/off and setting options.

    Please tell me if I can provide you with another thing and thanks for your help.

    Edit: I have some screenshots to show what I mean.
    desired behavior
    problem when the icon is added

    I tried, and while it does not remove the text, buttons retain their width, collapses don't not down icons. I was able to get exactly the effect I want to by changing the setting in the DOM, as stated in my post above, but which only lasted as long as the session and returned to the way it was before, when I restarted Firefox.

    After a few tries, I finally joined the userChrome following tweaks. This tweak sets the buttons didn't use any text, be limited to 20 pixels of width, and, if a drop-down list arrow is present, to hide that. Greasemonkey uses a drop-down list item separated so it must be hidden specifically.

    #addon-bar .toolbarbutton-text { display:none !important; }
    /*The following work for most of my icons except Greasemonkey*/
    #addon-bar .toolbarbutton-menu-dropmarker { display: none !important; }
    #addon-bar .toolbarbutton-1 { min-width:20px !important; }
    /*The following are specific to greasemonkey*/
    #addon-bar .toolbarbutton-menubutton-button { min-width:20px !important; }

  • Google icon keeps disappearing in Favorites

    For some strange reason, just my Google icon keeps disappearing under Favorites. I continue to 'add to Favorites', but in a few days, he disappeared. None of my other favorites are endangered. I have ~ 12 saved favorites so I can keep track of them to see if one of the other go away, but it is only google. I even changed to 'google search' and he's gone too after a day or two. I got this system for 3-4 years and the first time that it happened.

    Hi, Lewis S.,.

    Shortcuts to sites will initially their own custom icon when you create a shortcut. This icon is called a "favicon.ico" and is stored in the temporary Internet files (TIF) cache, which is where all website files, are stored when you visit them. If the cache is disabled, all custom icons are removed.

    You can restore the favorite icons of bookmarking site again. The other method is described below.

    Step 1: Locate the favorite on the Temporary Internet Files folder icons.

    a. the default temporary Internet files location is C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files

    b. navigate to the location above.

    c. ensure that the hidden files and folders is disabled so that you can access the location.

    Reference: Show hidden files

    d. type fav*.ico in the search field. This will pull up your favorite icons.

    e. copy and paste icons to another folder, such as the C:\Favorites icon.

    Follow the instructions below to point the bookmark to the permanent icon file.

    Step 2: Customize icons

    a. open Internet Explorer.

    b. click the Favorites icon.

    c. right-click on the favorite that you want to change icon.

    d. Select Properties.

    e. under the web document tab, click Change icon.

    f. click Browse to navigate to the location where the folder is stored. IE C:\Favorites icon.

  • Unidentifiable caution in Vista notification area icon

    An icon that I've never seen elsewhere appeared today in my notification area. It is typical of the warning icons: a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark in it. Unlike any other area notification icons, there is no ToolTip when I go over it, and nothing happens when I click on it (left or right). I looked on the tab Notification area of the taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box, and under the icons customize Notification area, it shows as .

    How do I know what this icon, it's a problem and how to remove it (if, indeed, it should be removed)?

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2; Norton Internet Security 17.5.0.127 version and Lavasoft Ad-Aware Plus anti-spyware version 8.1.4 software. I have not recently installed new software.

    I closed my computer and when I restarted it, the icon had disappeared from the notification area. I checked customize icons in Notification area on the tab area of Notification in the taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box, and the icon did not show in the list of recent issues. I hope this means that the problem is resolved for now, but in case he returns, I was still interested if someone can give me information on what it could be.

  • Parameters of system tray icons keep the reset after reboot

    Hello

    My system tray icon settings are lost whenever I restart my laptop.

    I tried to reset all settings, I tried to install the experimental fix Windows6. 1 KB979155-x 64.msu nothing works.

    I also tried the following registry settings that now I have no more than two keys mentioned and I do not know if they had to be re-created after I cancelled them.

    1. Click Start , type regedit in the Search box and press ENTER.

      If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click allow .

    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
      Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    3. In the Details pane, click the IconStreams registry entry.
    4. On the Edit menu, click delete , and then click Yes .
    5. In the Details pane, click the PastIconsStream registry entry.
    6. On the Edit menu, click delete , and then click Yes .
    7. Exit Registry Editor.
    8. Restart the Explorer.exe process. To do this, follow these steps:
      1. Press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC.
      2. On the process in the Task Manager tab, click the process explorer.exe and then double click on end process .
      3. On the file menu, click new task (run) , type Explorer and click OK .
      4. Exit Task Manager.

    The only option is either to have all the icons in the sawn system tray which takes 3\4 of my task bar or do them all hidden which is a pain in the neck because I have to open the "new taskbar" every time.

    I hope someone can help me.

    Thank you :D

  • Icons of drop-in customized for packaging stand-alone application on Mac OS x

    I can't add icons customized to a standalone package built on MacOSX.

    JDK1.7.0_06 with JavaFX 2.2.

    Directory structure:
    TestFX
    -bin

    -build
    -Test.jar

    This creates the natives and DMG packages and they work, but there is no custom icons for file DMG installer or .app (just gray coffee cup icon).

    Here is the result. What confuses me is the 4th line and similar, with 'add package/macosx/Test.icns to the classpath to customize. " This file is relative to the current directory, but for some reason any is not picked up. If I switch to Windows (via VMWare) and add some windows/Test.ico in the package and run the same command, the custom .ico file is recognized.

    It is indeed a bug in utility javafxpackager introduced towards the end of the release. It has impact on Mac and Linux
    You can fix it on your copy of the javafxlauncher - edit

    replace
    classpath="$javafx_home/lib/Ant-JavaFX.jar".
    with the following line
