Standardize the file icon!!
Friday, January 5, 2007 by jeffamarie | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Why? Because I have lots and lots of file types... and many vendors don't care what their icons look like! If we standardized at least the shape and texture of a plain file, then there would still be room for original ideas AND we'd have programs that came with their own, appropriately-rendered file types. At least if ONE type of file is not possible... have a glossy set and a plain matte set. Keep the shape, and put the file extension in roughly the same place.
The only problem I have AT ALL in customizing my machine is the time I waste in worrying about some ugly file bearing its teeth and ruining the look of my machine lol
STANDARDIZE!

I thought all icons were square at the edges.
Isn't the file extension always to the right of the decimal?

I hear, in Australia, the file extension swirls in the opposite direction...

I was going to say that when I first saw this post. lol. The only reason I didn't was because I don't know what the heck they are talking about.
Then, a couple threads or so over, I see Zubaz telling someone "Icons don't' change because they feel like it" and I think my cerebellum fused.
Gentlemen and Gentleladies, I believe there is an icon conspiracy in our midst..or an uprising at the very least. I'm off to the Dollar General to get more tinfoil. I can't find any of my 'old hats'.
