The main window displays all icons from the ICONS.RSC file. If this window is closed , ThingIcn will be terminated. The icons will be positioned automatically, so there is no need for a horizontal slider. A double-click on an icon opens the dialog for editing the assignment of this icon. With suitable operating systems there is an even easier way: You can drag files, folders or drives from within Thing (or another AV-Server) onto the desired icon. If one holds down one of the 'special' keys ( Control , Alternate or Shift ) while 'dropping' a file then the extension of the dropped file will -- as far as possible -- be ascertained and assigned to the icon prefixed by a '*.'; so 'README.TXT' would produce '*.TXT'.
