Aero Xtreme for IconX b2

A few people have requested this skin even though IconX is no longer available on the Stardock website. If you can get it working on your system, it is now free to download [link]

Enjoy!

Edit: You can now grab IconX Enhanced here: [link]

A big thanks to :iconeddiedeviant: who found a working copy of IconX Enhanced. I never understood why Stardock discontinued this great product.

A lot of people have always wanted the desktop icon mousover square on their XP systems. Well, here it is folks! Not 100% perfect but still pretty good...

Requirements
- Windows XP SP3
- IconX by Stardock [link]

Credits
Original idea by draven686 [link]

Edit: draven686's account has been de-activated but the credit remains.

Please note that after several hours of trial and error that I was able to get the square to show up properly with 48 pixel icons. The original skin by draven686 only supports 38 pixel icons. However, without Draven's base skin, I might not have succeeded in doing this.

I can honestly say that this works very, very well!

Enjoy!

P.S.: Once you try this, you will never want to go back to your old desktop icons! The icon previews, mouseover and pressed states are simply awesome and everything works without a glitch - a lot better than Windows FX! Believe me!
