Summary
Unsatisfactory
symbolicme619October 10, 2010
Pros
This program is pretty easy to use and the perfect choice for people who want to change icons of one of their files.
Cons
For people who want to load an icon package for their system like *.ips etc, this program is useless unless you want to waste your time applying icons toeach and every file. Instead of downloading this, i suggest people to buy Axialis Icon Workshop
Summary
very Terrible

Pros
-Changes windows systems icons, there are some icon packs online to change a lot of icons with one click -Can individually change a folder/drive icon.(Click last two icons in the preview picture) -Changes all cursors also
Cons
Using XP. Does not change all icons: you try right click in browser and save anything and it'll come out the My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Documents, etc. The first two icons cannot be changed, kind of break my icon theme. Continued in summary...
Summary
-Individual .ico icon sometimes cannot be opened to use and I have to make use another program to make it into a .icl icon library to make this program open and use the icon. -I'm not sure if it's this program's fault but when I first use it, my text files icon and configuration settings icons become sharing the same icon and no matter what I try if I change one of the icon, the other icon will change, reverting them back to windows icons does not help. -Hmm, not really a con for me but I should say that the icons packs that come with this program are not very pretty.
Not Much of A Difference...

Pros
I do see a few icons that have a slite different look to them but not many!!
Cons
Do not see that much of a change to my iCons. I had iCon Desktop Toy 4.1 before I downloaded iCon Tweaker. Maybe that has an effect on what I now see??
Summary
I did like the selection I could choose from but however post downloading iCon Tweaker I do not see much of a change to my Desktop!!
Looks Great!

Pros
Just downloaded it! Looks great, really excited about jazzing up my icons!
Cons
Seems very easy to use so far
Summary
Not a particularly attractive piece of software, not compared to icon packager anyway but beggars can't be choosers and it does the job just as well!
Changes all Icons with the Click of a Button

Pros
Themes radically change all icons from "My Computer" to "Workgroup."
Cons
The program does not specifically give you icons to change individual folders. The way everything works is through themes.
Summary
Gives all your folders a brand-new look.
Not exactly what you would think of an icon-maker
Dlanod5October 12, 2009
Pros
It has icons, yes but microsoft´s are better by far.
Cons
icons are some what made in a hurry, and have nothing to motivate you to keep them
Summary
An Icon, got´s to be SMART, since its quiet, its got to say a LOT when you see it, and... here is where this package fails.
good, but....
lee_au1420June 3, 2009

Summary
potential, could be easier though
It does the job
anthony f woodJanuary 13, 2009
Pros
It allows selection of individual or themed icons For freeware its good.
Cons
Can not alter individual system folders. Guess I'll just have to buy microangelo.
