Skinning IE-6 SP2

February 11, 2007 9:27:23 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Hi,

I know that WB5 skins the Favorites in IE6, but, unless I have missed something, if you create folders to organize the Favorites, the folders themselves do not get skinned and remain the Microsoft vanilla shade. I have been manually changing each folder which can be rather tedious. Is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks,

T

The folder icons are not skinned by WB, IconPackager skins them. Running IE7, the folders, including ones I have created are skinned by Icon Packager.

You're right, Icon Packager skins the icons (up late last night!). The Favorites short-cuts are skinnned as advertised, but if you create folders to sub-divide the short-cuts those folders do not get skinned, at least not in IE-6 SP2.

It has been awhile since I ran IE6, just tested what I think you are saying in IE7, I created a new folder, then a sub in it, then a sub in the sub, then another sub folder, all are skinned by icon from icon packager.

I should have added this in the first place.

As you can see, the folders are not skinned.

OK ... I did it the hard way. Right clicked on each folder > Properties > Change Icon and followed the many prompts to Icon Packager and selected the folder icon I wanted. It's a real tedious pain but only needs to be done once (unless you clean install XP). Sure would be nice if there was a way to auto-skin them.
