Make the notification tray icon consistent with the System

[nerdAFK]

Really love Everything!

As the thread title suggests, how about making the notification tray icon more consistent with the default Windows 7/8 style (a little more white like those default icons?), so that Everything fits in the tray more natural.

Best wishes

I hate homogenized.
I would much rather everything (err, & Everything too) stand-out, for what it is, to be different from anything else, to make easily detectible when I'm looking for it.

Anyhow, you can change the icon used.
Just place an (icon) file named 'Everything.ico' into the same directory as Everything.exe.
(Might require an Everything restart?)

I believe in choices. It's nice that a simple ico file could work this out.
I made myself an icon. Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.

If you are using Everything 1.3 or later, copy your icon to:

Code: Select all

%APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ico

If Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything is disabled, copy your custom icon file to Everything.ico in the same location as your Everything.exe.

Hello,

Thanks for all your efforts. Dealing with the desires of different folks can often be arduous and far harder than coding.

I run Everything (709b) from a folder (not appdata) and notice that the additional icon I use shows as expected in the System Tray but the original (orange loupe on white sheet) shows on System Bar. Is there anyway for those to reconcile to show the additional icon? Thanks.

Please try changing the taskbar group icon:

Thank you.

The solution from the link seem to suggest help for the installed version. I use the non-installed version.

Strangely, both icons are the same for a brief moment on first use. After a reboot, the mismatch sticks.

I use the non-installed version.

Hmm.
Create they key & associated value & see if that works?

To set the tray icon to a white icon:

• Download the Everything Icon Pack.
• Extract the White icon to
  C:\Icons\voidtools-14-Everything-White.ico
• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  tray
• Select: tray_icon_filename
• Set the value to:
  C:\Icons\voidtools-14-Everything-White.ico
  
  (where C:\Icons\voidtools-14-Everything-White.ico is your White icon)
• Click OK.
