How to replace current exe and system tray icons?

[Lee 0]

Is there a guide to do this? I'd like to use the icon from here: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?t=909

Thank you.

It's not possible at this time.

Since the .exe file is packed you cannot directly edit its resources, And i dont think you can unpack it so easily. It's better not to mess with the exe anyway, IMO.

Ya I tried using resource hacker on it to replace the icon and the new exe it made didnt execute. lol, dont bother trying.

GREAT piece of software!!!!

the only thing I don't like is the tray icon... so looking forward to a version that comes with th option to chance it, or maybe two types of release, a compressed and a uncompressed exe maybe?

well anyway... my BT client of choice now... awesome!!!

They could always UPX it, so anyone can easily decrypt it (I do not know how much the software they uses now is, or now it works)

It's packed with PeCompact 2... It can be unpacked, but not that easily...

Better wait for a version that allows icon changing.

bad idea, having 20 different icons compiled into the .exe would seriously increase its size. u think a standard XP icon covering just 48x48, 32x32 16x16 is 14KB in size. 20 of them would end up being larger than the program itself.

I previously mentioned this in a message specifically to the developers but I think it's unfair to suggest this.

They created an exceptional program and it's available for free to anyone who wants it. In the interest of retaining value by BRANDING their product (and it IS a product whether sold or offered gratis), I think they should retain the right to one uniform icon.

If µTorrent achieves the widespread distribution it deserves, the brand becomes the developers' reward.

i agree with above, and i suggest a recomendation to this brand a few icons can be selected and a vote can be placed by the community, afterall the application is for the community, and what ever is the majority vote should be the new icon. Seems right for me.

foobar (or at least ColumnsUI on it) allow you to choose your .ico file for it. Maybe uTorrent will do the same someday.
