Add button to Toolbar

[meRobs]

I would like to add a few buttons to the Browser Toolbar, maybe for Copy to, Move to and Toggle Thumbnails.
I realise that there is already a File Operation button, but it requires use of its drop-down menu.

In Options > Toolbar > Browser, I can use the drop down menu to add a Cmd (for Copy and Move to, etc), but where can I get suitable Icons for them?

Secondly, where can I find (or create) a Cmd for Toggle Thumbnails (preferably 'with labels')??

I would greatly appreciate help for this.
Thanks in advance.

There is no icons, so you can use your own icon...

Sorry there is no CMD for that

Thanks Pierre
I shall try and create or get an Icon from somewhere.

Taken from Windows XP's shell32.dll:

• cmd_CopyTo.png & cmd_MoveTo.png

Thanks XnTriq!
I have just discovered the App: IconCollector and using it I was able to open shell32.dll.
However, I couldn't see your icons. You must have a different version of OS (I have XP SP3 Home).
Thanks again.

Hi meRobs

Having extracted bitmap resource #215 from shell32.dll with an old freeware utility similar to these, ...

• NirSoft: ResourcesExtract
• LionTech: Downloads » ResThief
• MiTeC: EXE Explorer

... I converted the resulting 32-bit BMP file with XnView to PNG format. Then I cropped the individual buttons and saved them as ICOs using an Icon Editor.

I've just found out that you don't need a specialized tool for extracting these resources. Just point Internet Explorer 6 @ Windows XP to the following addresses, and voilà:

• 
  res://shell32.dll/2/204

• 
  res://shell32.dll/2/205

• 
  res://shell32.dll/2/206

• 
  res://shell32.dll/2/207

• 
  res://shell32.dll/2/214

• 
  res://shell32.dll/2/215

• 
  res://shell32.dll/2/216

• 
  res://shell32.dll/2/217

If IE 7 or 8 is installed on your system, there should also be a file named ieframe.dll somewhere. Bitmap resources #214/#215 contain the Vista-style versions of the “Copy to” and “Move to” icons.

• 
  res://ieframe.dll/2/204

• 
  res://ieframe.dll/2/205

• 
  res://ieframe.dll/2/206

• 
  res://ieframe.dll/2/207

• 
  res://ieframe.dll/2/214

• 
  res://ieframe.dll/2/215

• 
  res://ieframe.dll/2/216

• 
  res://ieframe.dll/2/217

• 
  res://ieframe.dll/2/697

• 
  res://ieframe.dll/2/699

Can someone confirm this, please?

The shell32.dll images are also available in XP with IE 8

Turns out that IE can even extract resources form XnView's executable

Code: Select all

res://C:\Program%20Files\XnView\xnview.exe/2/ABOUTICON

The Res: protocol specifies a resource that will be obtained from a module, and uses the following syntax:

Code: Select all

res://sFile[/sType]/sID

where the tokens for this code are as follows:

• sFile. Path and file name of the module that contains the resource.
• sType. Optional. String or numeric resource type. This can be either a custom resource, or one of the RT_ predefined resource types that is described in the FindResource function reference. If this parameter is not specified, the default resource type is RT_HTML.
• sID. String or numeric identifier of the resource.
