Icon creation...

Wednesday, February 5, 2003 by Angel_Wings | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Just a curiosity killed the Shmoopy question...

Nobody need answer if they don't know for sure...

Okay, getting to the question! Anyone know about the average time to create a fairly extensive XP icon set for icon packager? I feel pathetically slow at it. Hmph!
At the rate I'm going it won't be done for another month.

Now I can see why the icon library isn't HUGE...they take a lotta work!

I think it would take about 3 hours to make a good icon.... even for a guy like Paul Boyer... it took a while te other night to figure out exactly how to do it... but their are so many level that go into Paul icons, everything has to be perfect... Im sure same goes for everyone here...

I guess I'm just feeling slowwwwwwwwwww but I haven't made icons in a long, long time so I'm rusty.

well remember you are making a whole set, so a lot more has to go into it than would just one icon... you have to make sure they all look similar and if they don't, go back... and fix them.... it's hard... but I bet they will come out great in the end are they gonna be part of the new Shmoopy OS I keep hearing about?... jk

From what I've noticed, it takes a day to do a set, but thats after you've done a couple.

Shmoopy OS? LMAO! Yeah right! hehe! (It would have to have plenty of pink). That OS would be mighty silly.

I take an hour here or there when I get a chance to make them and yes, they have to match or it will look like a funky mess...

don't forget patch that breaks something that works fine, path to fix that patch (but your original app which used to work still won't work), patch to fix that patch.... advice from some web site that works to fix app, new patch that disables that app again... owww... patch that disables windows because you upgraded your mother board with out calling in to re-activate windows... patch to brainwash you... patch to patch that since the brainwash isn't working... owww it's starting to work... what was I saying... I love microsoft... xp is the best....

Microsoft has caused many a nervous breakdown for many folks to be sure! (She laughs about it but she was one of the sorry suckers who didn't do back-ups with her first puter).
