Button bar problem in Windows 7

[jslegers]

Hello,

I have a strange problem with TC 7.04a in Windows 7. If I install it the button bar misses a few buttons. Screenshot :

The same install in XP is normal. Screenshot :

What could be the problem that TC doesn't display the buttons right ?

Seems that the path to or the WCMICONS.DLL can not be found.
Did you installed the TC with a fresh ini?

This is a clean install.

i have same bug in vista
probably tc doesn't support icons from *.icl in windows vista & 7

I assume you use a 16bit library which is no longer supported in Vista and W7. See here: http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=23202

I have extracted the icons from bar.dll and made an icon library (icl) but it stil has problems.

What tool did you use to create this library? Are you absolutely sure it is 32bit?

[ghisler(Author)]

What installer do you use? Our official one from www.ghisler.com (downloads section) does NOT contain a 16-bit icon library. Maybe you installed some package with plugins, which contained an old dll?

I have used an custom toolbar. And I have made an installer with inno setup.

I have used @icon sushi.

Improper Info, re 32 bit.

I recently updated my icon editor from the very buggy SnicoEdit 2.2.3 to IcoFX, it seems very nice.

Also there is IconShop 120a, which has a nice feature of sorting icons of a loaded .exe|.dll|.ico|.icl by "bit"

Then just list the 16 colour options, select all, right-click and "Delete Image", then the 256 colour (I believe those need to go to).

Once you've deleted all the images that are <= 256 colour, Save the file.

If @icon sushi can do all that easily, then never mind... but sounds like there are some lower colour images sticking around.

I have tried it the icons are all 32 bit color but stil Win 7 can't see them. If I modify the Bar and change the icon and select the icl file it has problems.

This is the file I'm using :

Hello !:

• Your ICL is NOT 32-bit !

I have tried it the icons are all 32 bit color but stil Win 7 can't see them. …

• That isn't the point, you are confusing the colour depth of the icons and the file structure of the ICL !
- You need a 32-bit structure ! No matter which BPP the icons are…

- A few free applications are able to create 32-bit ICL… You might perform a Search here about one, i.e. GFIE

Well, the above was pretty wrong. Though with IconShop 120a I extracted your icons from the file and created a valid 32bit ICL with Greenfish Icon Editor Pro
It has a really strange quirk, within its program file directory is:
.\Config\iclstub.dll

When you create a new Library with Greenfish and want to save it (after adding all your icons), the folder where you want to save the ICL to needs to have a Config\iclstub.dll

So unless you want to create a Config folder in your ICL saveTo directory, and drop the iclstub.dll there. Can just save the ICL to GreenFishes' program folder.

Only Freeware I could find that actually does create a valid 32 bit ICL. Lots of stuff will extract. And a number of the programs have Adobe-like pricing.

Strange because I don't need iclstub.dll here but I am always saving with File -> Save as -> Icon Library. Floppy icon on "library window" does not work for me (maybe this DLL is the reason).
