Recommended Posts

hi guys :)

i'm using WindowsXP and there are various Icons i downloaded from the page of Utorrent when i rename to Tray.ico or Main.ico they don't work, other icons work, what's the deal with this and how can i fix it?

tried with uTorrent 1.6.1 and with 1.8 latest.

those don't work for example

ou need to stick them with settings.dat not utorrent.exe

Please right click, copy the LINK you used from http://utorrent.com/skins.php to download the icon(s).

i haven't reached this level of n00bness yet mate, YES all my icons are located in the directory of the SETTINGS.DAT under the utorrent directory located in Documents & Settings (not Program Files) and it has always been so for the last 3 years.

eg. C:\Documents and Settings\****\Application Data\uTorrent

close utorrent completely, copy main.ico and tray.ico, open utorrent, that's how i always did it.

so i'll repeat again....

EVERY ICON WORKS...... "EXCEPT" THE 2 ICONS I MENTIONED

Err the sticky http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=482 covers what you posted elsewhere. As to the application icon I can't think of what you're talking about except maindoc.ico covered http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=291381#p291381 and http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=330144#p330144 which was added in 1.7

I do know 256^2 px icons fail to work below Vista, and reshacker errors out when loading such files. I assume something about 8-bit resolution value. I've not tested 128 px^2, but all .ICO files with <= 64^2 px will load (whether 32- or 8-bpp).

Thanks for the links thelittlefire the exe icon was what I was talking about for the app icon. The new icon you have is real nice but for people that use a dock because it does not have at least 128 px it looks blurred. If the application will not support a 128 px icon you should consider on install to add a 128 px png to the programs folder to be used for docks. I will redo my icon and upload sometime tonight, thanks.

thanks for all the replies, now i got what you guys mean, yes i'm using XP so the icons obviously won't work :)

ill get ICOFX (never heard of it) quite useful then.

btw sorry i didnt mean to be rude in the other post, was simply clearifying my point nothing more.

guess ill stick to other icons and if those are redone for XP ill re-download and let you know how it went.
