Change main PowerArchive icon colors

I would like to see the main PowerArchiver icon colors to get changed slightly. Problem is that in Windows XP explorer uses the same yellow color as PowerArchiver. I can hardly see the difference between the taskbar buttons for a PowerArchiver window and a Windows Explorer window. Here’s a screenshot:

Problem is worse on TFT display. The vertical viewing range is limited so details fade out a bit. I think more users have problems with it.

Hi PA Crew Hope you are all well, When there is no values in the Select Backup button it still shows a drop down option showing “No Recent Backups”. It would be nice that it is Disabled untill a backup was created or edited then it would be enabled and show valid values. Another idea would be in the Configuiration screen under “Folders” there is an option to select a default location for PowerArchiver Backup scripts and Backup Archive Locations. The reason why is that I and many other users have external Harddrives than we use to store both the script(s) and archive(s) when making backups. It would be a great little time saver if PA provided the option to default those options for you. Obviosly you can disable it and just set the location when creating a new backup etc…

@TBGBe: Are you saying “View / Small Icons” doesn’t change the button/icon size ? View - Small icons changes the icons in the file area, but that’s not what I asked for. I use the powerarc256 skin, but toolbar (new, open,favourites,…, encrypt,checkout) is always same size 32 pixel, thats the height of the skin bimap. And I found no bitmap which is smaller the 32 pixel. I tried to create a half height skin, but PA complains invalid image size.
How about a system tray icon?

Okay cool. However, I was referring to a more permanent icon that is always resident in the tray, offering access to a custimzable menu of stuff, such as items from the tools menu. Just an idea.

I would rather such a system came in the form of a plugin. I have no need to change the icons or use skins and would rather it wasn’t a compulsory part of the program.

Can you please add different colors to the different Power Archives?

I was thinking about upgrading to newest PA version so I installed it for testing. One thing: new icons. They’re too bright (or maybe the saturation level is too big). Look at the attached image and compare newest icons to other, typical icons. Note that the color scheme is totally diferent, they just don’t go to well with each others. Look how the older PA icons (bottom of the image) look good with the others, even the oldest are much better. The contrast with the background is much too low, and on default system color scheme it’s even worse (white background, and very bright yellow icons). Note that none of default Windows icons don’t have such high saturation, they’re all based on the same level. Look at the second screenshot, new icon just doesn’t fit there well. And on the third screenshot you can see that many bright icons near each other can give you a real eyes pain. So I ask you to make an option to choose from oldest, new and newest icon set when making file associations. It just a small tweak, beacuse the icons could be called e.g. 1xx (oldest), 2xx (new), 3xx (newset) in the resources and in that case it’s just a small fix in the registry and everything would work fine.
