    Description
    __________

  Set of icons (icl-library) for Total Commander 5.1-new. Allows to replace standard icons of objects of files panels, and also an icon of the window of the program.
  In a set there are all possible icons on a transparent background (the sizes 16 and 32). Icons are created in WinXP (32-bpp) format in style Windows XP, and intended for use in Windows XP, 2003 and later operational systems.
  Recommended for a light background of panels (light-grey, white, beige).
  The set is developed within of project "Total Commander iMP-pack".

  For classical operational systems (non XP) it is necessary to use another, 256-colors (8-bpp) a set of icons "Object icons TC WinClassic".
  For replacement of standard badges of buttons of drives TC, i recommend to use my set "Drive buttons TC DriveXP".

  Copyright look in sections "Copyrights" and "In detail" in it ReadMe.


    Requirements
    ___________

Operational system: Windows XP, 2003 or newer
The program: Total Commander 5.1 or newer


    Installation
    _________

1. Unpack files of a set from archive (necessarily file WinXP.icl) in one catalogue (desirable in subdirectory Total Commander, for example in C:\Totalcmd\Icons\).
2. Connect a set (library) of icons WinXP.icl:
  2.1 For this purpose it is possible to use the simple convenient utility TweakTC (download - site "totalcmd.net"). Look in TweakTC:
Section "Icons" / Option "Loads all default icons for the Total Commander file lists from the given library" / "Lybrary file": The button "..." (Choose a file WinXP.icl).
(Other parameters of section "Icons" look in section "Configuration" in it ReadMe.)
  or
  2.2 It is necessary to find and open a file of configuration Total Commander (wincmd.ini) in the text editor. And to add in section [Configuration] a line:
IconLib=way to a file of a set WinXP.icl
(for example, way=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Icons\WinXP.icl ; %COMMANDER_PATH% - it is a full way to catalogue TC; but up to 6.x versions TC necessary to use a real way=C:\Totalcmd\Icons\WinXP.icl).
If line IconLib = already is present, in her it is necessary to register a correct way to a file of set WinXP.icl.
3. Restart Total Commander (close/open).
4. I recommend to establish a light-grey, white or beige background of files panels (i use light-grey color: 235.235.235).
5. Additional opportunities of a configuration: "Configuration of set WinXP.icl", "Installation of icons from "+Icons" as icons for types of files" and "Configuration of look of icons in TC", look in section "Configuration" in it ReadMe.

  "*" - Imported

  "" - Created (Copyright)
  [*.*] - Separately icons can be used; but not together (Special Copyright)

  "16" - the size icons 16x16 pixels
  (parameter TC - "Symbol size" - value 16x16)
  "32" - the size icons 32x32 pixels
  (parameter TC - "Symbol size" - value 32x32)

  "16.32" or "." it is a multiicon (contains icons of different sizes (from smaller to the greater); for each icon specified ).

  The note:
  The multiicon " TC 16.32" is used for window of Total Commander, and at switching Alt+Tab. The multiicon " TC 16.32" can be appointed for shortcut (*.lnk) of Total Commander (in properties of shortcut).
  The multiicon " Link 16.32", as a rule, is not used almost, as option "All associated + EXE/LNK" is switched on (and it is correct). However " Link 16.32" is used for shortcuts (lnk-files) in archives, and also for "Soft Links" (only on NTFS). The detailed information on "Soft Links" can be learned from Help of utility NTFS Links (download - site "totalcmd.net").
  For each icon of 32 size are an icon of 16 size. In a set there are 14 icons of each size (all possible icons)!
  Plus, additional information icon 128x32 (not used Total Commander).
  Names of icons in library have no value. The Index is important only.

  To see all icons of a set, and also an icons in the catalogue [WinXP +Icons], it is necessary to look graphic file WinXP.png.
  Or to use utility TweakTC (section of "Icons").
  Or to use a lister-plugin TC - "ICLView" (download - site "totalcmd.net").


    Configuration
    ___________

  Configuration of set WinXP.icl:

  It is possible to replace some icons of set WinXP.icl on alternative (with names as indexes - 0000.ico or 0016.ico) from catalogue [WinXP +Icons].
  For this purpose it is possible to use packer plugins TC - "ICLRead" (download - site "totalcmd.net") which works with icl-libraries of icons as with usual archives. [It is necessary to unpack all icons of icl-library in one catalogue, and to replace in him the chosen icon. Then again to pack all icons using "ICLRead", having created the updated icl-library.]
  However, i do not recommend to replace an icons of set. In a set they is better.

  Installation of icons from "+Icons" as icons for types of files:

  It is possible to establish icons from the catalogue [WinXP +Icons] as icons for types of files.
  Namely:
Icon "Archive.ico" for archives - ZIP, .RAR, .ARG, .ACE, .7z, .TAR, .JAR, .LZH ...
Icon "Code File.ico" for coded files .B64, .UUE, .MIM ...
Icon "File.ico" - for files without expansion.

  It is better to use Total Commander: Command - "cm_Associate". (Menu "Files" / "Associate With..." / "Edit type..." / "Change icon")

  Configuration of look of icons in TC:

  These parameters change in a file of configuration of Total Commander (wincmd.ini).
  At present (TC 6.51) there are such parameters:
  ([Section], "Parameter")
  (Look in the end - list "Recommended values of these parameters"!)

[Configuration] "IconLib=way to file of set WinXP.icl"
(for example, way=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Icons\WinXP.icl ; %COMMANDER_PATH% - it is a full way to catalogue TC; but up to 6.x versions TC necessary to use a real way=C:\Totalcmd\Icons\WinXP.icl).
Loads all default icons for the file lists from the given ICL.

[Configuration] "Showicons=2"
Icons:
    0= no
    1= default
    2= all (recommended)

[Configuration] "ShowEXEandLNKicons=2"
Determines how to show icons for EXE and LNK files in 32-bit version:
    0: Don't show specific icons (use standard symbols);
    1: Show icons (slowly);
    2: Show icons everywhere, except on floppies.
(Works only if ShowIcons=2)

[Configuration] "IconsOnNet=1"
1=Load icons of EXE and LNK files also on network drives
0=no
(Works only if ShowIcons=2 and ShowEXEandLNKicons=2.)

[Configuration] "IconsSpecialFolders=3"
Enable/disable display of special folder icons:
    0= none
    1= local
    2= in  nethood
    3= both

[Configuration] "IconsInThread=0"
1=Load icons of EXE and LNK files in a separate thread
0=no

[Configuration] "IconOverlays=0"
Enable/disable icon overlays, like the small arrow for links (1/0)
This function works in Windows ME/2000/XP only! If it is disabled, the icons of shared dirs are shown when TestIfSharedDir=1.
(Works only in Windows ME/2000/XP!)
(Icon "Net Folder" (shared folder) from WinClassic.icl is used, if IconOverlays=0 and TestIfSharedDir=1.)

[Configuration] "TestIfSharedDir=1"
1=Test if a directory is shared in network -> show with a hand under the icon (32 bit only)
0=no

[Configuration] "ShellExtIcons=1"
1= Show icons of shell extensions (different icon per file)
0= don't show

[Configuration] "ShowParentDirInRoot=1"
If set to 1, Total Commander show parent dir also in root of drive.
0= don't show

[Configuration] "ShowHiddenSystem=0"
1= Show hidden/system files
0= don't show

  Recommended values of these parameters:
[Configuration] "IconLib=way to file of set WinXP.icl" :)
[Configuration] "Showicons=2"
[Configuration] "ShowEXEandLNKicons=2"
[Configuration] "IconsOnNet=1"
[Configuration] "IconsSpecialFolders=3"
[Configuration] "IconsInThread=0"
[Configuration] "IconOverlays=0"
[Configuration] "TestIfSharedDir=1"
[Configuration] "ShellExtIcons=1"
[Configuration] "ShowParentDirInRoot=1"
[Configuration] "ShowHiddenSystem=0"
Use THESE BEST VALUES!

  Notes to recommended values:
1. The latent and system objects are not displayed, if "ShowHiddenSystem=0" (and it is correct). But sometimes it is necessary, that they were displayed. For fast and convenient change of parameter ShowHiddenSystem, I recommend for a command "cm_SwitchHidSys" to appoint a key (for example Ctrl+H). For this purpose it is necessary to find and open a file of configuration Total Commander (wincmd.ini). And to add in section [Shortcuts] a line:
C+H=cm_SwitchHidSys
If the section [Shortcuts] is not present, he needs to be created.
2. Parameter "IconsOnNet=1" (and it is correct). It allows to see icons of programs and shortcutes as well on network disks. However use "IconsOnNet=0" and "IconsSpecialFolders=1" if you are connected to a local network through the modem.

  Parameters "Showicons", "ShowEXEandLNKicons", "IconsOnNet", "IconOverlays", "ShowParentDirInRoot" and "ShowHiddenSystem" can be changed in Total Commander 6.51-or newer (the second section of dialogue window of a configuration).
  Parameters "IconLib", "IconsSpecialFolders", "IconsInThread" and "TestIfSharedDir" can be changed of utility TweakTC (section "Icons" and "Restrict").
  Parameter "ShellExtIcons" - only in wincmd.ini.

  Attention! For editing all parameters of a file of configuration TC (wincmd.ini), there is utility Ultra TC Configuration Editor (utilities Ultra TC Editors). It is possible to use also lister-plugin TC - IniEd. Or the usual text editor (for example Notepad).
