Stack Icon in Detail View too muddled

If you don't then the next time you update the install on that machine MC will overwrite your modified, but not renamed, version with the Standard Version.

Got it. Thanks.

If you put your skin in the Custom Resources folder, that won't happen. It doesn't get overwritten and it does get copied when you upgrade to a new major version.

Just getting around to creating my own skin.
Where is the Custom Resources folder?
Also, I created a new SmallIcons.png file for my custom skin but MC is still using the MC Default one. I did modify the Main.xml file for the skin and added the Art tag with the SmallIcons entry. What else should I be doing? BTW, I'm using MC29.
JimH:
You have to make the Custom Resources folder.
Name your skin something different.

Creating a new skin with its own SmallIcons.png file in it does not work. Like it's been said, you have to create 2 new folders; Custom Resources and Custom Art.
Here's the procedure in this topic called "How to change the tree icons"
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,56830.msg925151.html#msg925151
I implemented this in MC29 and it works. Not sure if it survives an MC update until we get another.
Here's the tip
For the stack icon list column
* Create a folder called "Custom Resources" in the "Data" folder you find in the MC program files directory.
* Create a new text file inside your "Custom Resources" folder and name it "Images.xml"
* Paste the following text into the Images.xml file and save the changes.
<Images>
<SmallThumbStackTopCollapsed>0</SmallThumbStackTopCollapsed>
<SmallThumbStackTopExpanded>1</SmallThumbStackTopExpanded>
<SmallThumbStackMember>2</SmallThumbStackMember>
</Images>
* Create a new image file 48 pixels wide and 16 pixels high.
* In the first 16x16 area of this file, create your "collapsed stack" icon.
* In the second 16x16 area of this file, create your "stack top, expanded" icon.
* In the third and final 16x16 area of this file, create your "stack member, expanded" icon.
* Save this file as "SmallIcons.png" in your "Custom Art" folder.
* Restart MC and it will use your custom icons in the list column.
