I think the default icons for file associations in 7zip are REALLY ugly. I came across an app called XPize that replaces several icons from windows system files and in apps such as 7zip. The issue was that the replacement 7zip icons were only for 4 of the compression formats (zip, 7z, iso and tar). Using those icons as a guide, I created a full replacement icon set. They can replace all 15 icons embedded in 7z.dll. Use ResourceHacker to make the changes.

It's nothing special just some Windows Xp Icons with an awful achieve icons on top of that, I would prefer something like Tango icons and what not than the xp but thats my opinion

And these is tango ones out there on deviantART if you prefer.

I want to apologise, I came across a little to harsh, Will ya forgive me
your friendly neighbourhood moderator Zach Thibeau
sure!

So I deleted your site. Big deal.
That you might host these icons again and size them for Vista?? If not on the vista thing I can probably do it on my own but I need to get the icons for my new machine! I accidentally wipped my old computer before grabbing these.

Not sure about getting the 256x256 size, but I should be able to do 128x128. I've had the download back up for a while, but completely forgot about this topic lol. I'll put the download link back in shortly.

I appreciate it. The normal 7zip icons are so ugly sitting next to my nice vista icons.

i'm working on a batch script to automate the process for the XP icons.
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
That would be really cool!

Gotta make some Vista style icons first...maybe this weekend.
