Windows 10: Another Desktop Icon Question

Looks good on Blinds @Edwin*Thumbs

 

You're darn right it does!

Of all the times I denounced 'Eye Candy', now I'm hooked!!! *Redface

 

Of God! Eye candy makes the system fun to use(not necessarily better).
And with Win10's very low memory use.... why the heck not!

 

O.k.......... Although the initial question has been resolved, I am not able to do the same with this forum's desktop icon.........I create a file, send it to downloads, then try to change the icon.......but it always says ''no icons in this folder''......or words to that effect.........what am I doing wrong ?..........Del.

 

You need to find a .png(best with transparency surrounding it) that is 256 x 256(pixels) and convert it to an icon either using GIMP with the "Iconify" add-on(which I use), or going here: ConvertICO.com - Convert PNG to ICO and ICO to PNG

 

Marvellous !!............Job done.........I used IcoConverter...........Thank you...........Del.

 

You'll get hooked customizing icons, I did. I have some posted for download, and custom Tile packs for the Start Screen, in this forum: Solved Windows 10 Themes created by Ten Forums members - Windows 10 Forums
On most posts, I have also posted instructions how to apply them.

 

Hey Cliff........You are right, this could get pretty addictive.......now using a free program called Cool Utils.......it allows JPEG to Ico. conversion.......another lesson learned.........Marvellous !!.............Del.

 

What's needed is a quick way of reapplying customised icons after a major upgrade (which will happen periodically.. Redmond..) or an in-place upgrade repair ..

 

I never had a problem with that.*Smile And most of my icons are customized, and quite a few 3rd party tiles to boot.

If you're going to do your Recycle Bin, you will need to read the information box in this post: Solved Windows 10 Themes created by Ten Forums members - Page 168 - Windows 10 Forums as it needs a small change in the registry so that it refreshes(changes to full when something is deleted, and to empty, when Recycle Bin is emptied).

 

Think I will leave the recycle bin alone..........just done Ancestry, and it has worked o.k..........now, what else can I change ?........Del.
