Custom Icons for DETAIL View Solution!

[Mass]

We all know you can change images for games in grid view, but what about detail view? If the game has a terrible icon (or no icon at all), you'd be stuck with it... Until now! What we're doing is simply making a batch file, and converting it to an .exe file so we can change the icon of it, instead of editing the original .exe file directly.

REQUIREMENTS:
- The .exe file of the game
- The .ico file you want to replace it with
- A .bat to .exe file converter ( I use this one[www.f2ko.de] )
- Notepad (if you don't have this... I don't know what to say)

NOTES:
This can be done with any file, not only an .exe file (in case you'd want to open a saved game file instead of the game launcher itself). Just replace the ".exe"s with whatever extension the file has. You will still have an .exe file at the end, though.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Create a notepad document in the same directory as the game.
2) Copy and paste this into it:

@echo off
start EXE_NAME_HERE.exe 

2.5) If that doesn't work, write everything on the same line.
3) File > Save As
4) Change "Save as type" to "All FIles"
5) Name the file whatever you want. Remove the .txt extension and add ".bat" at the end.
6) Open the .bat file to see if it works. If yes, continue. If no, then you did something wrong. Note that the .exe file must not have any spaces; use underscores.
7) Now, open the .bat to .exe converter that you're supposed to have.
8) Select your batch file you just made.
9) In whichever converter you download, there should be a "invisible application" checkbox in the visibility options. Check it (it's one of the first options in the one I have)
10) There should be an "Include" tab somewhere (easy to locate on my converter). Then click the "add" button, and select the original .exe.
11) Now look for another tab/option for changing the icon (if you're using the one I have, it's under Versioninformations). Select your icon file you want to use.
12) Now fill in the "Save As" so it goes into the directory of the game (this is sometimes automatically done for you).
13) Press the Compile (or whatever it's called for you) button to finish it.

Once it's done, you'll have a shiny new .exe file with the icon you chose! All that's left to do is add the file to steam. Voila! Sadly, you'll have to do this for EVERY .exe file you want to change... So have fun with that. If you have any questions, feel free to post them.
