There's a lot of work in this! Great stuff! Which file actually changes the tray icons to white? I've been looking everywhere for this...

Well, the mmsys and netshell files in the Windows 7 Blue Sky pack will change a number of icons including your volume and net connection icon. The other icons are arrived at by a neat trick someone here on dA showed me, and that is to change the default icon of any persistent tray icon- one that simply won't hide while the program is rumnning. Just use ResHacker on the program's EXE or wherever the default icon group is located and trade the default icon with a white Action Center flag icon or something similar. If you need the Action Center icons to make the switch, send me your e-mail addy in a devNote. Hope that helps.

I know you do, Snuze. And I know I sometimes get a little cranky after 3 days without sleep. Thanks for being so patient.
