Frequently Asked Questions |

Why is 2Beesoft asking money for icons, aren’t
they protected by copyright law?
2Beesoft is not aware of any copyright
on icons. You can use the icons anyway you like, but some icons contain
registered trademarks protected by law. The use of these icons is prohibited.
Your small registration fee is NOT for the icons, but mainly for the keywords
added to the icons, the special storage format which reduces disk usage and
download-time by a 1000%, and programming IconBook. IconBook took 2,5 years of
programming and icon collecting and IconBook is still developing.
Will de-installing IconBook delete all the
customized system icons, shortcut icons, folder icons, file type icons and
cursors?
No! IconBook stores all icons which are
used to customize your system, shortcut and file type icons in your Windows
folder in the Icons subfolder. De-installing IconBook will not remove this
folder or any icon in it. This also causes the popup remark 'IconBook
uninstaller could not remove all components' since the original favorites folder
is created in the IconBook folder.
How can change a Shortcut icon?
Just drag the shortcut from your
desktop or explorer window and drop it on an IconBook icon!
How can I find all of the keywords used for
an IconBook icon?
Popup the properties window by
selecting File, Properties from the main menu. At the bottom next to ‘keywords’
all keywords for the selected icon are shown.
Why do some icons look very strange?
You probably have a 256 color graphics
mode selected and IconBook tries to show a High Color (true color, 24-bit) icon
or a 256 color icon with lots of colors in it. Select the High Color color depth
or better in your screen properties.
Why does the customized icon of a folder
sometimes disappear?
Windows stores the changed folder icon information in the hidden file
DESKTOP.INI in the folder itself. You should not remove this file or you will
remove the customized icon. So be careful when emptying the folder.
How can I set the backcolor of an icon when
saving as a JPEG (JPG) or bitmap (BMP) file?
IconBook will use the backcolor of the results window where all the icons are
displayed. If you have set a mask color in Options,
General tab, Mask Color, this color will be used as the background color as a
replacement for the transparent color.
Why doesn't IconBook retrieve all icons from
ZIP archives when scanning for icons in ZIP archives?
Some ZIP archives contain paths to files included in the zip archive. These are
saved with a ZIP archive when the 'Save Extra Folder Info' in WinZip is
selected. IconBook cannot retrieve icons in files which are saved with the
'Extra Folder Info' option.
