'''IconPackager''' is a [[Windows]] program that installs "packages" of icons, for purposes of customization. The general form of its packages is a [[ZIP]] file, containing a number of [[ICO]] files or an [[Icon library]] file, as well as a metadata file (as well as possibly a README etc.). These seem to have come in two versions:
* A version used starting from the initial release, consisting of a file with the extension ".zip", with an [[INI]]-based metadata file inside having the extension ".iptheme".
* A version, consisting of of a file with the extension ".ip" and a metadata file with the extension ".iptheme", containing a short INI-based section followed by binary data, presumably in some proprietary format, found around 2001<ref>E.g. https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/iconpackager/744/, https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/iconpackager/911</ref>.
* A version used starting some point after<ref>e.g. https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/iconpackager/2170/</ref>, with the extension ".ip", and a metadata file with the extension ".iconpackage", containing only binary data.
