      Thank you Dave !

      That could be at least one thing wrong during I made it so it does not work, it does not work means when I'm in contact chosing any of my contacts , right click, properties , chose image.

      Those are the default icon without changing to my own custom set

      I also have changed these

      So that I really don't know where cause the error.

      Same as you, I used to make this work & my M2 mail panel able to shown correctly my own setof contacts icon in the mailing list.

      Dave, do you know where to download may be Portable Winzip ?

      Thank you very much.
      edmond.

        There's a link to the WinZip portabe version here.
        I'm afraid that I can't immediately see why what you've done isn't working as it should be.

          Hi Dave,

          I use also winzip to make zip/unzip & contact icons still not change to my custom one & I do not see my custom skin is there I can select ( although I can placed it in the skin folder )

          I should be pretty straight in changing / customizing a contact icon ..........

          It concern only unzip , add a 16x16 pixel .png in contact folder , modify the line in skin.ini , zip back.........

          I used to done it okay but it is frustrate this time I spent just more than an hour still not able to make it correctly.

          Thank you very much.
          Edmond.

              The most common error with editing skins was in recompressing the file. You have to start inside the folder that has skin.ini in it, select all, and zip it including folders. Do not compress the folder itself; skin.ini has to be in the root of archive.

                super

                You're super sgunhouse , you made the point and I carefully made the re-compress and I can see my custom icon now.....

                1. Why in Skin name is not change as You can see 2 same time Opera standard.

                2. I changed already in the skin.ini total name to Opera Custom... and I consider this new name reflect in above 1. the Skin UI

                3. The Icon must be 32bit ? How I can make it super SHARP in mail panel ?

                4. I also need to make lots of label icon, do you have website you can instrduce me to visit so that I can learn making label icon ?

                Thanks again sgunhouse you always provide good hints !

                Edmond.

                  I'm not sure what the line "Name String Code=" is in your skin.ini.
                  Mine doesn't have that.
                  Try deleting it or commenting it out, it may be overriding your custom name.

                      I use GConvert Icon Editor to make icons from image files, it's very good but isn't a free program.
                      There may be free equivalents that will do the same.
                      I don't know of any websites that allow you to do it online, I assume you've searched?
