One of my initial issues was this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The scroll bars are always present for the Computer window every time it is opened and no matter the window size. As soon as I pull the window larger, they disappear.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the Drives on my desktop was a shadow and looking in the Computer widow I could not find the real Drives folder. It was out of the Computer window which still did not make sense because the scroll bars would go away. Long story short, I deleted the desktop shadow Drives and moved the real Drives to the Desktop. Problem solved. How? Not sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of my issues using Dynamic Icons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The window upper corner icon does not always open with the Dynamic Icon thumbnail. Closing and opening the window almost always clears this up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The trashcan defaults to a default icon occasionally when there is a trashcan action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BIGICONS directory not changeable, see below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The installation directory for the icons is &#8220;\\sys\\icons\\BIGICONS&#8221;. In the config.sys there is this statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>SET BIGICONS=C:\\sys\\icons\\BIGICONS<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I have tried setting BIGICONS, in the above statement, to another directory without luck. So, the way I install is to rename the BIGICONS directory to BIGICONS_ and copy the BIGICONS directory from this repo into \\sys\\icons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My wish list items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Globally turn the Menu Bar for Icon View off (Maybe there is and I do not know).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>XCenter use the png icons rather than the defailts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, my icon theme is here right now on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/greenenet.ddns.net\/os2project\/mybigicons\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/greenenet.ddns.net\/os2project\/mybigicons\" target=\"_blank\">my home Gitlab (Mybigcons).<\/a> Here are some screen shot samples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/greenenet.ddns.net\/os2project\/mybigicons\/-\/blob\/main\/sample1.png\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/greenenet.ddns.net\/os2project\/mybigicons\/-\/blob\/main\/sample1.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sample1<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/greenenet.ddns.net\/os2project\/mybigicons\/-\/blob\/main\/sample2.png\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/greenenet.ddns.net\/os2project\/mybigicons\/-\/blob\/main\/sample2.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sample2<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/greenenet.ddns.net\/os2project\/mybigicons\/-\/blob\/main\/sample3.png\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/greenenet.ddns.net\/os2project\/mybigicons\/-\/blob\/main\/sample3.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sample3<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Time for a snapshot and to try and optimize and find the delay in the config.sys during startup\/boot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a quick continuation of my Part 1.
