And here's a small gift for ya! I just made some icons for Xnews (in
WindowsXP style) - you can see them here:

http://datmar.republika.pl/icons.png

If you want to have them, then download this patcher:

http://datmar.republika.pl/Xicons.exe

Of course it works only with the latest test version of Xnews. Just put
it in Xnews directory and run. Don't worry - it'll make a backup.

Here's also "Post" icon:

http://datmar.republika.pl/new.ico

If you want it to appear on the toolbar, you have to make some changes in
Xnews.ini file. For example:

[Toolbars]
A1=U1,bFollowUp,bMail,-,bShowAllHeaders,bFixedFont,bRaw,bWrap,-,bAttach,-
,bBack,bForw,-
,bRef,bNextQ,bPrevTh,bNextTh,bPrevUnread,bNextUnread,bSkipQuote,-

[UserButtons]
U1=acaPost|new.bmp|Post

Above also changes a little the sequence of icons.

Merry Christmas!!! o<[]:-)

That's a beauty! Thinking of making any more icon sets?

Any idea where I can download others?

I like it VERY much...one thing, the only icons I don't completly like are
the complete binary/incomplete binary ones. The stock ones that come with
XNews are very different, including color. When I'm browsing, quite fast,
through a large binary NG I can watch that much easier with two unalike
icons...unalike from the each other and everything else.

I will go back through previous posts about messing with icons but is there
anyone that can, easily, explain how to change those back to stock or make
them what I like?

I have used reshacker a number of times but I can see half of the icons
that are used in the .exe file.

Please disregard my last post about how to make changes...I did some
researching through previous ICON posts and figured it out.

Thanks again for the great exe file

Well - You can DIY... :))) Get some reosources editor plus even the
simplest graphic editor and have some fun with changing the way your
Xnews looks! :D

I'm almost sure it should work also with new version (haven't downloaded
it) as far as the resources (especially their names) remained
untouched...
