Icon Customization

[void]

Everything 1.5.0.1397a improves icon customization.

Everything will now load a custom icon from the following locations:

• %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ico
• exe-path\Everything.ico

(The Everything 1.5 alpha uses Everything-1.5a.ico - see below)



If you are using a custom instance name, Everything will now load a custom icon from the following locations:

• %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything-<instance-name>.ico
• exe-path\Everything-<instance-name>.ico
• exe-path\Everything.ico

(where <instance-name> is the custom instance name)



The Everything 1.5 alpha will now load a custom icon from the following locations:

• %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything-1.5a.ico
• exe-path\Everything-1.5a.ico
• exe-path\Everything.ico

The tray icon can now be set to a different icon.
To set the tray icon:

• 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
• Click Edit....
• Select your ico file and click OK.
• Click OK.

Is it possible to support .SVG files for top-notch sharpness, regardless of the screen resolution?

[void]

I will consider support in a future release.
(Direct2D supports .svg so it's doable).
Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, please create a 256x256 png icon for the best results.
ico files work well as they provide different icons for different sizes.
256x256 icons scaled to 16x16 don't always look the best.

Sorry if this question has been asked many times before...
But when I try to change the taskbar icon via the properties in the taskbar, I get the following error message:

Code: Select all

Die Datei %SystemDrive%\Everything\Everything64.exe wurde nicht gefunden.

I have updated Everything to the latest version (1.5.0.1397a (x64)), but I don't know how to change this line.

Code: Select all

C:\Everything\Everything64.exe -is-relaunch-command

The tray icon change makes no problems.

The Everything64.exe changed to Everything.exe in Everything 1.5.0.1397a.

Please try the following:

• Unpin Everything:
  • Right click the Everything taskbar button and click Unpin from taskbar.
• Re-pin Everything:
  • Right click the Everything taskbar button and click Pin to taskbar.
• Retry changing the icon:
  • Right click the Everything taskbar button and right-click Everything.
  • Click Properties.
  • Click Change Icon.
  • Change the icon and click OK.
  • Click OK.

If the issue persists:
The Everything64.exe changed to Everything.exe in Everything 1.5.0.1397a.

Please try the following:

• Click Properties.
• Change the target to:
