Not Jorge, but....

Nope, I'm afraid none of the module icons can be changed (although there is an alternative digital clock image where the background can be changed). Jorge doesn't want free-form skinning for the in-dock/in-shelf modules. Which is fair enough.

That is not completely true... for SOME of the iconic modules you can change the static *background image* of each of the styles: open Preferences, go to the Modules tab, select the module you want (e.g. Calendar) then click the 'Change Icon' button).

But that is as far as it goes for the iconic versions of the modules.

Argh! How did that slip past me!? That's the trouble when you don't have things in front of you, you forget and f*** up! Of course, some of the other modules can have their backgrounds changed as well! Works esp. well with CPU, RAM, NET-IN and -OUT.

There is another way and I tested it but I would not do it because it requires backing up both a dll and the executable and while perhaps not true, to me it insults the developer, so no.
A resource editor will allow it.
When I say I tested it, I opened it and there is a facility to extract/replace etc but the mere fact it opened sufficed.
Angus Johnson's Resource Hacker will do it as one of the simpler ones.
Additionally, you are stuck with the same issue you suggested with the icon which is static. You cannot change the icon theme to theme that way either where it stores a different icon for each theme.


Cheers and thanks for answering both of you.

You can change the resource DLLs and it's not an insult, just do not redistribute the modified DLLs.

Whatever you do, however, do NOT change the actual executable. It is protected against tampering and if you do the application will stop working.

Good thing you didn't go further. Any tampering with the executable will, IIRC, completely corrupt the file.

I try to be respectful. As I mentioned 'requires backing up first'- That's really nice of Jorge to allow it. I figure he does what he can when he can and I would not be surprised if the next update or the one after allows for the default icons to be different for each theme instead of global for all. If not, I will leave it alone. It's like the 'if it's not broken, don't fix it' rule

But you can already change the iconic form of *most* modules on a theme basis. Take a look at THIS.

THANKS Jorge YUP..

By the way, remember this? when you first released the calendar before skinning for it was available. 2014? 2016? Cannot remember the date.
To do this properly for download, I would have to completely reformat the calendar and moon into my own and maybe one day I will have the inclination. I cleaned the menu up and I like it.
This originated possibly before all the 'offices' for anyone who is as old as I am lol – You saw this privately Jorge I never put it up for download from memory? I am older now near retirement so my memory isn’t what it used to be.



This might be my cleanest menu to date. Now I need to make the nexus bar more semi-pro. Then maybe onto the moon and calendar.

I remember and I like it, can you upload it "as is" to the Winstep Themes Gallery (you can modify it later if you want)?

The gallery is still under construction and not open to the public yet, but you can already upload things to it (just make sure you are logged in to the forums first, since it uses the same user account).



What is this at the end of your post? Looks like it was automatically added when you copy/pasted the link to the last image? Can I remove it?

Please do !!!

It was in the ibb code ffs.

I see you already removed it yourself eheh

Did the same for the actual URL in my posts.

Thank you.

I looked at the CPU, RAM and Net meters. They work with the theme but in my opinion are not up to par with the rest. Do you still wish me to upload? I have no problems with community contributions/edits to make it the best it can be either. Or you can wait and I will do something better as I am enjoying vectors so much more.

Upload it. It's more than good enough and you can always update it later if you want to.

Done deal - I also included a permissions text file like they have at the other place.
Credit clearly given to Winstep Technology Software for Calendar and Moon Phase and also included n the *.wsi and *.wsl file appropriately.

I additionally have a purple, green and brown office (below) but I cannot take any credit other than a choice of wallpaper and graphic editing to accommodate what I envisioned. So that is your call Jorge. I loved how clean your commissioned one is and totally edited to suit my needs.
