Hey, guys. Today, I am going to show you guys now on how to change the icons used for different applications in your RocketDock. As you can see first of all I have few different icons for GIMP by changing it to a Photoshop icon, change my chameleon icon and renamed it, change to a different few things and one of those media player icon. I also renamed it, Uturn icon, control panel. So I am going to show you guys how to change and rename your icon doing the RocketDock.
First of all we need to open a web browser and find an icon that we actually like. If you don’t actually have it on our computer, so a lot of good icons will actually create on website that I about to show you. So if you like it go ahead and utilize this. I am going to direct you to well, first of all, Google search RocketDock and the first link will be RocketDock.com and hopefully we will get that open. In RocketDock.com, we just click on this and it will bring us to the RocketDock.com website obviously.
And we’re going to hit the button that says, “Get add-ons” and all we have to do now is to get add-ons page where there is a lot of cool icons that we can download quite easily. So first of all I am going to pick an icon that I want to change, say I want to change the CamStudio icon, I am going to hit icons here and I am going to search for CamStudios and see if anyone has created any. Here’s a nice CamStudio icon and I want to use it here. So I am going to go through the process of replacing that icon right there with this one.
So I click on it, where I click on the title and there should be a download file exclamation mark right here. Click on that and download the file. So we’re going to download it and open it with Windows Explorer. Download and finishes, it scans for viruses. Hopefully we won’t find anything we haven’t got. So right here we are going to extract all files and I’m going to extract it to something I can remember, so I am going to my documents and programs documents and hit OK. So I saved it to my documents and file called Program Documents beside my documents and I have checked that you extracted files when complete. So that we can just verify them to actually have been placed there so it’s going to go ahead and copy these items in.
Extracting and it’s done, so this is the actual program documents folder and hopefully we will find in here that we just download and here at CamStudio icons, and these are the actual pad that we just found. So I want to use the Excel. I like this one better. I’ll use one of these, so we are going to exit this out and exit the web browser because we don’t longer need it. So right now what we want to do is right click on the icon replacing and press icon settings which will bring up the icon setting’s menu.
From here, these are the icons that are built in, but we’re not using any of these. So we are going to hit “plus” and again search marquees which is my documents and program documents. Click on it, and hit OK, and here it is. I already had it here so there are two, no worries. This is the document. This is the icon that we are replacing, click on it or actually that is a good point. We should open that up and find CamStudio icons which would came with its own pack and I want to replace it again with this image. Remember that?
All you have you to do is hit OK and if you look back up here it is been replaced with that image. Now actually I don’t like it so I am going to change it to this little Handycam here. So there it is CamStudio with the same name had been changed, that’s icon. If I want to change the name of it, easy, just go here, name and name it whatever you want. I like just to keep the name CamStudio, hit enter or press OK and you will have that CamStudio name right there. So that’s pretty much it, I’ve changed a lot of the icons in here to different ones that I would like. Maybe I want to change Internet Explorer icon, open up any web browser and you saw what I did before. I just do it one more time for Internet Explorer to make the process different if you didn’t actually get a pack of icons, if you just get one icon.
So RocketDock.com and get add-ons and icons and Internet Explorer, that’s a pretty neat icon. I am going to use that, actually now. There are a lot of icons and by the way, there are 48 pages of icons that we saw at the bottom, so I am going to use this one. Click on it or click on its name, download the file, open with Windows Explorer which is good. First wait for the virus scan to begin. There are no viruses so I click on it. Extract all files to a place that you can remember so there it is, good. Extract and there is done extracting and instead of actually being a folder of CamStudio icon, this is just one Internet Explorer jpeg.
So exit, and right click on the icon I want to replace, icon settings and just click on the actual place where you save it. That should be right in there, so there is the original icon, and there is the one we are replacing it with, it’s replaced it. I like that name and hit OK and there’s the icon that has been changed.
So that’s the simple way to change the icons in CamStudio and the name. So I hope you like this tutorial, if you get any other ideas for tutorials that you like me to record. Just hit me up with a personal message. I’ll try to answer the best I can in the video so thanks for watching and subscribe, peace.
