Xindi Kraid Cerulean Sky Fire Industries	Posted - 2009.01.16 09:31:00 - [1] I am currently working on striping the text from all of my icons on my desktop for a cleaner look. I am having an issue with the EvE icon however. It's not the EvE icon itself causing the trouble, but in fact my two icons. I have a shortcut to Tranquility and one to Singularity, the problem is that they look exactly the same so stripping the text would leave them nigh indistinguishable. Is there a way for me to edit the EvE icon for Singularity to make it red or something so I can tell it apart from the Tranquility icon?
Ahkali Ahline Minmatar Fire Wings of Destiny Brotherhood of Nod.	Posted - 2009.01.16 09:39:00 - [2] Yes, right click on the icon, select properties, click the button on the bottom Change Icon. It's been a long, long time, but you should be able to use a paint app and/or an icon editor. There should be a ton of free icon editors from free/share ware sites.
Evangeline Vice	Posted - 2009.01.16 09:39:00 - [3] yes,there are several ways and means to do what you need/want.Will edit this at a later time and will add you such a icon here.
SentryRaven KIA Corp	Posted - 2009.01.16 09:39:00 - [4] You could try to extract the icon from the .exe and then edit it with a editing software of your choice, Photoshop, an .ico editor or whatever floats your boat... Since the shortcut is a shortcut, it's appearence can be changed without violating the EULA, since you are not messing with the game client. -------- EBANK Forum Manager
Lui Kai Logistics Incorporated	Posted - 2009.01.16 09:41:00 - [5] You can change an icon without editing the client in any way - including creating your own. Any .ico file will work. Assuming you're using Windows of any type, right click the shortcut, go to "Properties," click "Change Icon" and browse to a different icon that you'd like to use. If you don't have an existing icon you want for it, there are numerous freeware icon maker programs out there. ----------------

Well, if it would technically be against the EULA, and I honestly have no clue, I would be very surprised if anyone here at CCP really cared, it's only an icon to start the client...

If he modified the *.exe directly, I bet someone would care, although I am sure the client would suddenly stop working, aren't your guys doing CRC checks? I remember someone changing the splash.bmp and the client suddenly went "Nope".
Cadde Gallente Gene Works AKA-AHN KINGDOM	Posted - 2009.01.16 09:58:00 - [8] If you remove the text off the eve icon then what is left? Behind the text there is only a shade? But may i suggest making one a different color do differentiate them?

Behind the text there is only a shade? But may i suggest making one a different color do differentiate them? Uoi missinterpret me. When you put an icon on your desktop below it is a text label saying what it is. I have been replacing those labels with non-printing chars (one of these days maybe MS will let us hide those outright without using a hack. Now to remove those pesky arrows

Now to remove those pesky arrows Oh i see. TweakUI is the tool you want to remove the arrows btw. It's microsofts app. --------------- Opinions? Yes they belong to me, not my corp!

TweakUI is the tool you want to remove the arrows btw. It's microsofts app. OH? I thought removing the arrows took an edit to the registry. edit: Program does not work with Win 7 Beta. Registry hack it is. Also the above icon is of a lower resolution, anyone know where I can find a higher resolution of the same red icon (that or extract the icon from eve.exe and do it myself) -Xindi Kraid: Delivering acerbic wit and scathing comments with just a dash of 'stab you in the eye'
Cadde Gallente Gene Works AKA-AHN KINGDOM	Posted - 2009.01.16 11:26:00 - [16] How large do you want it? --------------- Opinions? Yes they belong to me, not my corp!

Evangeline Vice	Posted - 2009.01.16 11:28:00 - [18] Edited by: Evangeline Vice on 16/01/2009 11:30:48 tbh i have done the red icon by my self (extracted from eve.exe...) so if you can find a higher resolution one its not a problem to make a red,yellow green... whatever from it in highrez.

Cadde Gallente Gene Works AKA-AHN KINGDOM	Posted - 2009.01.16 12:19:00 - [22] That happens to be the largest resource in the exe. :) If you want one that fills your entire desktop i think i can manage that :D --------------- Opinions? Yes they belong to me, not my corp!

I was actually looking for one that does not inclued the online part since it looks funky when it gets shrunk Is there a 64x64 icon? -Xindi Kraid: Delivering acerbic wit and scathing comments with just a dash of 'stab you in the eye'
Xailia Unsteady Corporation	Posted - 2009.01.16 12:26:00 - [24] That reminded me, bit of a tangent but... Original Blue Icon "The sky above the port was the color of a television, tuned to a dead channel."

Xailia Unsteady Corporation	Posted - 2009.01.16 12:34:00 - [26] I think I actually pulled it from a late 2003 client. :\ "The sky above the port was the color of a television, tuned to a dead channel."

Ticondrius	Posted - 2009.01.16 14:20:00 - [30] My solution was far simpler. I just use the logserver icon for my singularity build. :P
