Different Icons for Different Media Types

jason_dal · #1 (**permalink**) 22nd August 2005

After I have installed BSPlayer, the icons of all the supported media files have been changed to look the same as that of BSPlayer's main program. However, the icon doesn't tell me what type each media file is. I think it might be a good idea to make BSPlayer able to assign different icons to different file types and also indicate the file types on the icons. I have drawn an illustration with Photoshop to help visualize my suggestion. Please take a look.

Did you actually "create" such icons and then took a screenshot or just "photoshopped" them?

They're nice, and if possible, I'd like to use them :D .

On topic:
It's possible to change the registry so Windows would show appropriate icons and file type descriptions, but it's quite boring work; AND BSplayer tends to change them back, even though the respective option in config is disabled.

Yes, they are really cute!
It would be nice!! And mybe there should be an option to select custom icons for media files, not only the default ones!

I just "photoshoped" this picture. I don't know how to create icons so this was all I could do. I'm glad you like it. :)

Okay then, I took myself the liberty of creating such icons on my own :D .

Glad you like 'em :)

But I couldn't have done it without jason_dal's great "screenshot" - thanks, jason_dal :) .

I have made an icon for each extension.
I have also put the extension name into the 16x16 icons (for the people that use the list view in windows).
