Does IconPackager customize nonstandard icons?

I happen to like how vista does some of the new folders and want to duplicate some of the new documents folders such as my downloads and even a few custom additions on an XP box and would like to be able to customize these icons. Does iconpackager support this? So far all I can seem to find is system defined icons.. The customize icon from the right click of the folder sucks, all it does is put a picure on the folder..

IconPackager should be able to change any icon, but you can only change individual icons from the right click > properties > icon tab with the paid version.

I own Object Desktop so I have the paid version but I seem to be a bit dense I cannot even figure out how to get my folder to show up in icon packager to change the folder is sitting in my my documents folder. All the "standard icons" show up fine though.

if you mean the system icons then yes it does most system icons as well as many non system icons by default...you can change any icon, even if not listed in the icon packagers default icon list. as Bebi sugested they would have to be specifically changed by right clicking on the icon you wish to change and using the "icon" tab in the properties...

right clik on the folder select proprties. then select "customize" in the properties window that pops up... at the bottom is Folder icons clik it a new window will pop up, choose an icon by using the browse button. in the search window that pops up,go to where you have the Icon stored select it hit apply and your folder should change to that icon...

I did all of this except the part where it says "at the bottom is Folder icons click it a new window will pop up" I had to click the choose picture button when I do it puts a picture on the yellow folder icon which is not what I want and this view only shows in tile or thumbnail view also not as mini icon in list or detail view. This method is just using the plain windows interface not icon packager. Am I missing something?

Ok I might know why.. this folder is in my my documents folder which on a mapped drive and is made available offline I am guessing I can't change folders like this

Oddly enough I can change the icons for all the normal files just not the folders.. weird.
