I am having an issues with images/icons clipping outside of folders. Also, icons that have transparency have white boxes around them while in folders. Here's two images showing my issue(s):

I've tried a few methods, that I found on Google, like deleting %localappdata%/IconCache.db, disabling Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop in Performance Options, and change icon size (which was useless). None of the solutions worked.

Please note: I am using a custom icon pack (Super Remix Icon Packs on DeviantArt) and these issues were happening even before installing the icon pack.

EDIT: After removing the icon pack I am still having issues with the white border around icons. Here's a photo showing it.

  • Did that before and that would only restore the unmodified dll files from before the icon pack. – Nerokin Apr 01 '18 at 16:23
  • To ensure you understood the icon cache solutions you read about, look at this batch script logic I saved here which you can run to perform those steps within 10 seconds or so and restart Explorer in case you missed that step: https://justpaste.it/1j1v3 – Vomit IT - Chunky Mess Style Apr 01 '18 at 17:05
  • Had to take ownership of said files first, then ran each command, and restarted explorer.exe. After the databases were rebuilt, it seemed like nothing changed. – Nerokin Apr 01 '18 at 23:24
  • This reminds me of this post I answered but for Windows 10 https://superuser.com/questions/1283165/uwp-icons-are-missing/1286773#1286773 but it may be worth a read to you. I assume by *"it seemed like nothing changed"* means that that did not do anything to help resolve the problem, correct? I assume you are not willing to uninstall Super Remix Icon Packs on DeviantArt from this computer and then running the purge of the icon cache files, and then reinstalling the Super Remix Icon Packs on DeviantArt but not changing the icons as you did the first time wouldn't work, correct? – Vomit IT - Chunky Mess Style Apr 01 '18 at 23:51
  • The problem with the icons clipping out of folders is fixed, but I still have the issue with icons that have transparency not displaying correctly inside of folders (The white box). There isn't a reason to have the icon pack installed besides aesthetic purposes to go along with the theme I was using with WindowBlinds from Stardock. Also running chkdsk is pointless as it only checks the sectors of the HDD/SSD. – Nerokin Apr 02 '18 at 02:06
  • Hmm, strange. But do you happen to have a solution for my white boxed icons when the area around them are supposed to be transparent? – Nerokin Apr 02 '18 at 03:12
  • A few ideas you'll need to test.... 1.) as per https://i.imgur.com/cXoFOQ0.png check the #1 option there first then apply and then then check #2 and then apply and check. 2.) as per https://i.imgur.com/6luv4FB.png check the #1 option there first then apply and then then check #2 and then apply and check. 3.) change your desktop wallpaper to a solid color and then check to see if that clears it up. I thought there was an option for "Web" or "Lock Web Items on Desktop" that may be the culprit but I cannot find on Windows 7 but those are some other ideas for things to check. – Vomit IT - Chunky Mess Style Apr 02 '18 at 12:19
