Change new VI Default Icon?

Is this post still relevant to the latest version of LabVIEW (2012):
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/change-default-icon-for-new-VI/m-p/448064
Or is there a better way/more preferred method? It would be nice to change up a bit.
Thanks.

Change "new event" default name in FinalCut x

This Question is regading Final Cut Pro x (version 231027) or any of the X versions.
Hello, this might be a minor issue but still annoying. Regading create "new event": Here in Scandinavia for ex. we seldom use the "month-day-year" set up to describe the dates, would it possible to change that behaviour to ex. "year-month-day" or any other custom tag with dates? It´s not much to ask for..
Best regads, Tobias.

Hey imagoproduktion
Change it in System Preferences in Language & Text in the Region tab; from there it should trickle down to the apps to give the right format for you.

why not? use LiteIcon then. it's free and is MUCH safer than mucking with system files by hand. if you insist you can do it as follows. go to /system/library/coreservices. control-click on coretypes.bundle and select "show package contents". go to contents-> resources. change the file GenericFolderIcon.icns with your own .icns file. back up the original bundle first.

Change default icon for new VI ?

Hi all,
When I open a new VI, it comes with the default icon here :
Is there a way to modify this default icon ? I assume the "untitled.vi" comes from a template, so if I can find this template and modify its icon then there I am..
But if so, where can I find this template ?
Thanks for any help

I don't believe that the new VI comes from a template. Many such things do in LabVIEW, but I would guess this operation is built into the LabVIEW source code itself. I could be wrong there. My only other suggestion for helping to automate this is to put a blank template VI of your choice in the LabVIEW\project folder. Then create a launcher VI that opens a reference to this VI for template editing as shown below. Put this in your project folder as well.Now you have a direct menu option (i.e. Tools >> Launch Template...) for opening a new specialized template. I was hoping you could actually assign a specific shortcut to this menu option (for instance, Ctrl+N), since you can customize shortcuts in LabVIEW 8.x, but unfortunately this only applies to built-in menu options, not user VIs.

Changing the default icon of a af:inputDate component

Hi,
I want to change the icon of an af:inputDate component.
I discovered two solutions, but they are imcomplete solution.
Solution 1:
af|inputDate::launch-icon-style{
background-image: url("../images/icone_calendario_menor.gif");
af|inputDate::launch-icon-style:hover{
background-image: url("../images/icone_calendario_menor.gif");
af|inputDate::launch-icon-style:active{
background-image: url("../images/icone_calendario_menor.gif");
Problem: When I press the icon whith the mouse button and wait still appear a default icon while mouse button is pressioned.
Solution 2:
af|inputDate::launch-icon{
content: url("../images/icone_calendario_menor.gif");
width: 16 px;
height: 16 px;
af|inputDate::launch-icon:rtl{
content: url("../images/icone_calendario_menor.gif");
width: 16 px;
height: 16 px;
Problem: This solution works on Internet Explorer, but in Mozilla Firefox the new icon cover partially the default image but still possible to see a piece of the defaul icon.
Observation: My new icon is 16 x 16 pixels.
I believe that the solution 1 is better, but i think is missing a piece of code, there is a billion of icon states, core, busy, compact, depressed, selected , etc.
Thanks,
Victor Jabur

Icon was changed to default icon when editting a node on JTree

Changing default picture viewer via GPO without changing image type and icon (Windows 7)

Hello,
I am trying to change the default picture viewer for some file extensions (.bmp, .jpeg, .png and .tiff). Actually Windows Photo Viewer is the default viewer and we need to replace it with Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
I managed to do that change via GPO using the 'open with' preference under User Configuration\ Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options. So now the files are opened with Microsoft Office Picture Manager (office 2010). The problem is that the image
type became 'OIS.EXE' for all the specified file extensions. Moreover the icon is now the same (Microsoft Office 2010).
When I change manually the associated program for a file extension, the icon change but no the image type... this is different using GPO.
Is there a solution in order to change the default program but keeping the image type and associated icon ?
I tried to do that modification using the 'new file type' preference under Computer Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options. I specified the 'open' action for OIS.exe, selected file extension BMP with associated class 'Bitmap Image'.
It solves the problem for image type, Microsoft Office Picture Manager opens the files ... but I have to specify the icon file path and icon index and I don't know where I can find the default icons for the file extensions ...
What is the best solution ? Am I right ? Am I doing something wrong ?
Thank you in advance !

Hello,
thank you very much for your answers.
For the rollback, I will reimport the original/default keys for all the image types, this should be ok.
Here are the problems I have trying to pu Microsoft Office Picture Manager as default picture viewer (I just want .bmp, .jpg ... files to be opened with Microsoft Office Picture Manager by default).
1 Using new file type under Computer Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\folder options. : I define a new file type (BMP for example), associated class Bitmap Image, I configure the icon (imageres.dll,65) and an open action where OIS.EXE
is the application used to perform the action.
Result : Icon is correct, file type is correct, image files are opened with OIS.EXE (correct) ... BUT now Microsoft Office 2010 appears twice in open or open with menu
2 Using new open with under User configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options : new open with preference, action (update or replace same result), file extension BMP, associated program (path to OIS.EXE), i check set as default.
Result : Office 2010 opens image files (correct) but icon is Office 2010 one and the file type is now 'OIS.EXE' for all image file extensions I have specified ... so it won't be possible to sort the file by image type if I select that method...
3 Using ftype : OIS.EXE doesn't open the file when I double click on it but Microsoft Office 2010 appears twice in the open or open with list ...
I am a bit lost ... what is the best method to put Microsoft Office Picture Manager as default picture viewer, keeping the image type (Bitmap image, JPEG image etc) and without having Microsoft Office 2010 twice in the open or open with list ??
Last question : by default an image file is opened and previewed with Windows Photo viewer and edited with Paint. I would like just to open images with Office 2010 but keep Windows Photo viewer for preview and Paint for edit ... Is it possible ??
Thank you in advance for any help and support !!

Change the default icon for unsatisfied node

Is it possible to change the default icon for the unsatisfied node (unsatisfied indicator). I have checked the UI content element with the same name, but it does not have the source file setting in it, so I guess it is hard coded. I tried to change the source file with the name unsatisfied_status.gif to a different image and it works, but this will be a system wide change. I want to do this as a model specific change. Has anyone done this before? Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

Want to change Form MDI Window default icon as well as default window icon

Hi,
I am using oracle forms 10g. I need to change the mdi window default icon as well as default window icon of inner form. But i do not know the way. Pls help me.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil.htm
webutil lets you access the client machine from webforms. you'll need to install it on the application server and include the webutil library and object group in the form which will change the MDI window's icon (probably the first form in the application).

How change default icons

Dear
I want to know how to change the default icons on Ibooks Author, like the button to play sound.

Do you know how to dig into the XML and that book's assets?
If you do find a way, I think you risk rejection during review as Apple tends to prefer a consistent interface so as to not confuse iBooks users.

Change default icon

Hi there,
Is there a way to change the default icon associated with the .jar file?
I would like to customise the default "cup of coffee" icon when I deliver a .jar file in order to have something more in relation with my application.
Thanks for your help.
Denis

You can easily change it on your own computer (obviously), but I think that embedded icons are only available for .exe files. I had the same problem with an Access app I made - I wanted my own icon, but I never could figure out how to do it, so when I delivered it, it used the default Access icon on the customer's machine.
Good luck!

Openbox Changing Default icons

When i drag icons from the adress bar to the desktop they are changed to the firefox icon, how can i keep the sites icon?

Rather than use favorites, I like to drag the icon in the address bar to the desktop or a folder to create a shortcut. In my older computers the icon in the shortcut was the same as the icon in the address bar. in my new Win 7 computer the icon is changed to a Firefox icon. How can I prevent the icon from being changed?

If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.
If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).
You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".
