Hi,
Today I added some icons to the WAgame's context menu.:)
Currently available in my WormKitDS and Rubberworm installers.
Feel free to download and post comments here.:)
Currently only works on Vista and 7.

Thanks to Team17 for the Replay icon, thanks to wmdb.org for the map icon, thanks to SupSuper for the bomb icon, thanks to Joseph North for the video icon, thanks to Yusuke Kamiyamane for the log icon and to CyberShadow for the WormKit icon.
Dec 30 2013 23:59:44 <StepS> windowed mode isn't the only thing you need about frontend
Dec 30 2013 23:59:49 <StepS> you need it to be actually bigger
Dec 31 2013 00:00:13 <StepS> it actually is very small on my 15-inch full HD screen
Dec 31 2013 00:00:25 <StepS> while running at 640x480 or stretched mode makes it fuzzy
Dec 31 2013 00:00:44 <StepS> this problem has been around since the Worms Armageddon's release and no one has even tried to beat it

By some independent tests it has been clarified that this method only works in Windows Vista and Windows 7. You will not see the icons on 2000/XP (I think the same for 98/ME). The way WinRAR is adding his icons to the context menu is more complicated and uses its own key and a DLL file, in which all the data about icons and context menus is stored.
Probably there is something in Vista/7's registry that allows them to read and understand the "Icon" key, if you know where it is, then we get it to work on 2000/XP. Otherwise, no support for them or I will have to learn how is that DLL composed.
