New Version 2.0

Raize Software is pleased to announce the availability of a new version of the Raize BDS Icons collection. The new version packages the icons in a DLL instead of an ICL file. The ICL file in the previous version was not recognized by Windows Vista. The new BDS_Icons.dll is accessible on all versions of Win32.

If you currently have the Raize BDS Icons installed, simply download the new version and install it. There is no need to uninstall the previous version.

Borland Developer Studio (BDS) and Delphi Icons

The Borland Developer Studio (BDS) is the latest IDE from Borland, which is used in their tools that support Win32 and .NET development, such as Delphi 2005. Unfortunately, the various file-type icons that are provided with the BDS (and earlier versions of Delphi) are inconsistent and do not show an association with the BDS/Delphi.

Raize BDS Icons was created to address these issues. Raize BDS Icons is actually an icon library file that contains a set of icons for various file types used by the BDS (and earlier versions of Delphi). The icons included in the library are displayed below.

The installation program listed below copies the BDS_Icons.dll icon library to your computer and registers the new icons with the file types used by the Borland Developer Studio. The installation program also takes care of registering the icons for the same file types that are used by earlier versions of Delphi including Delphi 5, 6, and 7.

NOTE: The BDS Icons installation program DOES NOT remap any file type associations on your system. The installation program simply modifies the BDS/Delphi file type entries to use the icons from the BDS_Icons.dll icon library
