Im sure your eloquent request will move Mormegil to spend the hours to modify his icon set for your needs. NOT!

Paul built many Faux S-X Icons sets for Win 9x/NT/2k. It would be my guess that with the extra work of antialiasing the new set for XP that you will have to be happy with the older sets. click on Mormegils name to see his profile then View his gallery.

BTW foul language and speaking without doing the research ( Like knowing mormegil's nick) is generally not tollerated here and can get you exiled.(no posting or any interation with the site)

Those icons probably took him dozens of hours to make, if not even a few weeks and they contain features unsupported by other OSes, such as 8 bits transparency. Upgrade to XP or use another set of icons he reviously made, but I doubt he is going to spend another couple of week to modify his icons just so you can use them. :/

As you said the current Icons are only on beta 2 and if you are using a small screen res you can still see a little cleanup that mormegil has to do( they look awesome @ 1600x 1200 though). I sure that he takes it as a compliment that your interested in his Icons and we'll just have to wait and see what he decides to do though I hope that he finishes the current pack for XP before any others

The icons are cool, but for older OSes, the previous set of FauxS icons look good.

APB is doing (is almost done with) a Windows (9x/2k) conversion of the pack, I will be posting it soon. Probably this weekend. It loses some of it's luster without the antialiasing but it is cool for those of you who don’t want to use XP.

I have to chuckle at the "approach" many of these responses exhibit. I feel ultimately it is the "call" of the artist, in this case mormegil, to address this request rather the community. Glad to see that we have "other interested parties," however, I believe we all here have the ability to speak for ourselves.

Salute mormegil!
