FauxS-XP File Type Icon Requests?

Sunday, March 3, 2002 by mormegil | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I am finishing up FauxS-XP IconPackager sets and am putting together a set of extra Icons to go with them, I was wondering what File types (*.bmp, *.png, *.eps, etc..) the skin community would like to have most.

Well let me first say that as a long time fan of icon creation - I have created thousands of icons over the years, I am just in awe of your talent.

It is really something when someone is creating consistently better icons than what comes with the OS - even MacOS X.

The file types I use the most are:

.ZIP
.BMP
.JPG
.CPT
.CDR
.PSD
.WAV
.DXTHEME
.DXPACK
.WBA
.MP3
.TIF
.TGA

No filetype request, but new office-app-icons wouldn't be bad.

you mean there are even *more* of these icons to come?

feline PURRRRRRRRRR
what would be nice is an icon for "recent programs". i have placed this XP start menu block on a popout menu using object bar

as for file types:
.rm (real player)

what about icons for other object desktop file types?

It's be great to have icons for us into game modding/development:

.map (map format used by Quake and its ilk)
.wmb (custom map format used by the A5 engine, which I use.)
.mdl (model format for Quake and and A5)
.wdl (script format for a5)

If you ever have time for this type of "niche" icons, I, and my colleagues at http://www.conitec.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php would appreciate it greatly

An icon for "run..." in the start bar.
My Music folder icon.

I noticed that several icons are already there (such as .zip). They just need to be applied.

is it just me or are some icons not being replaced? my dvd, log off, shutdown computer, my music, my recent documents and a few others aren't being replaced. does any1 know how to fix this? i've unistalled and resintalled icon packager but it didn't fix the problem.
