Icon developer has an update out 1.30.022

I discovered that after I wrote this. I downloaded it, but haven't tried yet to see if it fixes the problem or not.

Well, I downloaded and installed the updates for both IP and Icon Developer. Still have the same problem....with just the newer IP themes.

Anyone out there have the same problem?  

ive had that problem as well....i'll look into it further and get back to you.

i get that same message when i try to open the pack from the browser window on the left, but if i click the browse button @ the bottom it lets me open a pack and then recolor them! hopefully this helps!

I was able to recolor the package. But, when I saved it as...it would only let me save it as a .icl file. I can't pull it up in icon packager to apply it. Now what do I do?

in icon packager, highlight the package (dont try to open it), then under the file menu, try zipping the package. that should save it as an .ip file. let me know...

I can't even get it to show in icon packager. The only way I can get the file name to show is through windows explorer > Program Files > Stardock > Object Desktop > Icon Packager > kwiksilver.ip > kwiksilverSepia.icl. All that Icon Packager will show is the icon package theme....your original package shows as an .icl also, and cannot be seen through icon packager. This is so maddening! I love this set, and wanted to use it for the blind I am working on...but needed it a sepia color.

I re-colored it through Icon Developer...like you said above. I can't recolor the icons through Icon Packager (the icon for Icon Developer on the bottom right of the config window).

i dont know what to do jazzy...but i will keep trying. anyone else who may be able to help us please feel free

Using NextOS from orig posting, and assuming the new .icl is in a new folder, copy the.iconpackage file from NextOS folder, paste in new NextOS(plus color or whatever)folder, rename .iconpackage to new icon set name.

I tried that, and all I get in Icon Packager is a blank file...no icons! I guess I will just forget about re-coloring any of the newer icons. I have no problems with the older icons though...really weird!

sorry jazz...hopefully someone will see this thread and be able to help!

Hi jazzy, I just tried to recolor NextOS and had no problems at all. Latest builds, same as you have. I highlighted NextOS in IP, clicked on "File, Recolor Package", Icon Developer opened, I clicked on the "Recolor Package" button, gave it a new name and then recolored and saved. Closed Icon Developer, clicked to close IP and it asked if I wanted to save changes, clicked "Yes" and it closed. Reopened IP and the recolored theme was there and worked fine.
I'm not sure if you are trying it another way or the same, but it worked for me.

XP Home SP2 and 1GB ram. Good luck.

This is so nuts! I tried it the way you said...this time, I got the icons recolored, clicked ok, and then I got an access violation, and Icon Developer closed!

Thanks for all the suggestions...I really appreciate it.

I give up! I recolored an older theme and am using it now.

You got further than I did! When ID opens, I am given the option to edit package, recolor package or skin package. In its initial opened state the default button for editing the pack is highlighted along with the save button. When I click either the recolor or skin options the save button de-highlights. So, I have no way of recoloring. When I click to edit, it gives me the original preview in IP.
