Winamp Icon in Taskbar

Published on October 3, 2005 By jebro In Windows Software

I would like some help.

When I open Winamp to play some music, the program puts it self at the taskbar (I don't mean the system-tray) as it should.

But I am so tired of the ordinary winamp-icon and would like to replace it with one of my personal icons. Is this possible and if so, how to do it?

I don't know if you can replace the icon but I do know that you can change the icon within Winamp itself. Somewhere in the preferences (I haven't used WinAmp in along time) is a slider bar with icons that you can chose.

Right click on the Winamp taskbar icon.
Click on Properties.
Click the Shortcut tab.
Click Change Icon button and select the icon you want from the list.

If you want to use another icon other than the ones listed, just click the Browse button and search for any icon you have stored.

iTZKooPA - Thank, you. Yes, I know about that one, but it will not change the one in the taskbar, while Winamp-player is open.

Apocalypse 67 - Yes, that will work fine if you have it on the desktop, but unfortunately not when Winamp is open and down in the taskbar, and it's the one in the taskbar I want to change. Thank you for your answer.

Well, now I found a "go-around-the-problem" solution myself.

In Winamp - Options - Preferences - General Preferences. Where it says "Show Winamp in" I unchecked the option "taskbar" and only let it show in system tray, insteed. There I also found a few other preset icon options, just like you refered to, iTZKooPA.

The only way to change the icon in the taskbar is with a resource hack. The adjustability is only for the system tray and the icons for files associated with winamp.
