IconPackager History

1999

In the late 90's and early 2000's, IconPackager was a part of a suite of desktop components for OS/2 that would eventually become the Object Desktop suite of desktop enhancements that is currently offered to this day. IconPackager was one of the core components of the early Object Desktop package, and gave Windows users the ability to easily change the icons in Windows.

2002

In 2002, IconPackager 2.0 was released and it was a complete rewrite from the first version. It became a popular way to change the icons in Windows XP, and with the launch of WinCustomize in 2001, users could easily share and download additional icon packs.
