Mugen Icon Themes

Hi to all!, I'm programming this soft to apply custom icons to folders into Mugen directory, also change file type icon on windows.


It's in Beta development but work fine, I use a command-line application (CTypes.exe) to apply custom icon to file types, maybe need administrator permissions.

This need .NET framework 4.5.2 (https://www.microsoft.com/es-mx/download/details.aspx?id=42642)

HOW IT WORKS
Extract files and run MUGENIcoThemes.exe, select Mugen .exe file (Themes/Select Mugen Folder), then select theme from themes list at the left and apply

Click on icon image to change for other icon (can be in other directory)
If theme no have a icon for any folder, Other folders icon be apply.

UPDATED 20/Sep----
  • Added option to load theme from .mth (mugen theme) - zipped files
  • Fixed error removing themes
  • Two new .mth themes uploaded (download & install since application)
  • Small fixes

What's left?
  • Themer Maker to create and edit the themes
  • Manual
  • Multilanguage
  • Show big theme preview moving mouse over theme picture
CAUTION: FileType icons can't be undo, be careful  :P

DOWNLOAD:

(in Beta folder)

Please report any idea o comment (or bad write words)

If you want to create other theme, copy any theme folder inside theme directory and replace icons anf files with same name.

Have a question about this software so if I made a png image will this program take the png and turn it into a icon for the mugen.exe ?  or do I have to make the png image and format it to icon first and then use the program ? so does this generate or make a icon or do I have to make the icon first to use the program ?
 sorry for the weird question. but I use to make icon for my mame emulator back old old days. so I just wanted to know and hope you can answer my silly question xD

Hi, this program change the icons for folders in mugen directory (chars, data, stages...) and file types (def, cmd, sff...); to change mugen.exe icon, try with resource hacker and you need the .ico file.

For now, only can use .ico files, maybe can add option to use or convert from .png images.

You can convert png to icon with some programs, or convert it online, but some times lower resolution is ugly and maybe need edit it, I use Microangelo Studio, is easy to use and it's very complete.

Program updated, check in first post...

To install new themes, use last version (overwriting files if neccesary), download .mth files, open Mugen Icon Themer and click on Themes -> Open files (Ctrl + O).

Please report any problem  :neutral:

Hi Craver, I'm programming the Themer creator to make themes of easy way, for now, open "Themes" folder and copy any Theme folder (Mugen_Clear is more completed), then edit or replace files.

Remember don't change name of files!

I use Paint.net, Png2Icon & Microangelo Studio to edit / create the icons but you can use any you like...

Notes:
  • png folder whit png images are resource images, this folder is not neccesary, I only added as extra files
  • no special size icon is required, but try to use almost 16x16, 64x64 & 128x128
  • I upload Png2Icon to OneDrive in Tools folder, to convert png files, put into thepngs folder and execute CLICK HERE to Deploy.bat file
