Not able to change Everything's Icon anymore

Post by gggirlgeek »

In version 1.3.3.658 x64 I am unable to change the icon using Everything.ico anymore. In the past I have also changed it directly with a resource editor (for my private use only) but the new version won't allow this either.

I use this feature to mark different instances of Everything that are running with different exclusions. So it's very handy.

For now i have to use older versions when I want different search options. Any chance this will be corrected?

Thanks

Figured it out!

If you are using Multiple instances of Everything you need to rename your substitute icon to Everything-NAME.ico

It should match the name of your .ini and .db files in Everything's folder. For example, if I name this instance "Videos" my .db file will automatically be named "Everything-Videos.db" when I exit. So I will name my substitute icon to "Everything-Videos.ico". (Make sure you include the dash without spaces.)

Tip: I used Everything to search my computer for ".ico" to find some cute icons.
