Where are the Vista specific icon packages?
I'm looking for some with customized live folders.

Hey guys, I was noticing that the only user submitted icon package that I can find, that skins the live folders in Vista, is Artwork by Treetog (nice job!). I was wondering if there were any more in the works. [256 X 256 support, and live folder skinning] Thanks to everyone for their hard work!

IconPackager 3.2 was just recently released, so I expect some Vista optimized icon packs will be along shortly. Remember with Vista, there are more icons to produce.

Hey skinhit, that's pretty funny 
I guess not everybody ran out and bought Vista Ultimate like I did. But to be honest with you, I would never go back to XP. My computer is 3 years old (with some upgrades), and the startup time is way faster then XP. Not to mention all the visual and functional extras. But yeah, you make sense.

MontyXP, thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, that set does not skin the live folders in Vista. (Live folders show a preview of what is in the folder, before you open it, e.g. pictures, album cover. This requires you to create a separate icon for the front and back of the folder)

I have Vista Ultimate and it skins the Live folders on my computer. Are you sure your Icon Packager is up to date.

I'm searching for the same thing. Has anybody submitted Vista compatible icon packages that skin the live folders? It's kind of frustrating when you're trying to set a theme for your desktop and the live folders are still the same old yellow default Vista folders. It breaks the ambiance! 
Thanks in advance!

also according to Frogboy's recent figures only 15% of WC's traffic is Vista specific, so there are probably only a few IP makers making them for Vista....Sorry
