KNUT, did you have custom icons in previous betas (i didn't).

it seems salamander is getting these icons directly from shell32.dll, so one would have to modify them there.

it's not a big deal, however it would be nice to use custom (theme) icons, not the shell32.dll ones. would look better with my dark theme

Could you please describe me how to reproduce this problem?
Servant Salamander displays different icons then Windows Explorer?

I must ask for a pardon

I can see my custom icons.
I'm sorry for this confusion...

KNUT, so what was the problem?

Jan Rysavy, as far as i remember, salamander always used the default icons and not the custom ones. i have windows xp and i use stardock's iconpackager to create and change icon sets.

the icons i use are smooth metal. i've tried using other ones, rebuilding icon cache etc. - with the same result.

i can see these custom icons in explorer. salamander shows only custom icons for folders like favorites, but not for normal folders.
