Same problem here
Any help / idea?

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.
