Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I change an icon for a specific application?
A: First, locate the application’s shortcut or executable file through the File Explorer. Then, open X Icon Changer – Change Icons, click the ‘Add’ button to select your target file, browse the available icons (either from the library or by uploading your own image), preview your selection using the ‘Live View’ feature, and click the large ‘Apply’ button. The change typically takes effect instantly.

Q: What are the supported image formats for custom icons?
A: X Icon Changer – Change Icons handles common file types including PNG, JPG, JPEG, BMP, and GIF without requiring prior conversion. For best results, we recommend using PNG files with transparency as they preserve clarity across different screen resolutions. Larger image files might take slightly longer to process.

Q: Can I change icons for system-protected files or folders?
A: Generally, users cannot modify system-protected elements like critical OS folders (Program Files, Users) directly due to system restrictions. While X Icon Changer – Change Icons allows attempting these modifications, we strongly advise against changing icons for system-essential items as it could lead to application errors or system instability. Always stick to user-specific folders, desktop items, and your own applications.

Q: Are there any subscription costs after the initial purchase?
A: No, once you’ve purchased the full version of X Icon Changer – Change Icons, there are no recurring subscription fees or mandatory in-app purchases. However, optional premium themes and icon packs within the app can be bought individually if you wish to expand your customization library beyond the free selection, without affecting core functionality.

Q: How does X Icon Changer – Change Icons handle icon caching?
A: When you modify an icon, X Icon Changer – Change Icons automatically clears the relevant system icon cache to ensure the visual changes appear immediately. You don’t need to perform this step manually, saving you time and simplifying the customization process significantly compared to older methods requiring manual cache cleanup.
