ICCD Display Themes

ICCD Display Theme (IDT) is a new technology that allows you to change your ICCD display. To install a new theme, copy the .IDT file in the WINDOWS\ICCD directory. Go in the theme tab of the option menu and select the theme you want to use. That will change the aspect of the LCD Display, the buttons and the icons. It will not change the other settings.

If you are a programmer, you can easily create and sell your own ICCD Themes. You just need a C compiler and a registred version of ICCD. Contact the author for more information.
