Vista Complete Set!
For some ambitious icon packager wizard?
Sunday, September 25, 2005 by Buddy Keister | Discussion: Icons
Hello. I was just surfing the web the other day, and came across this site:
http://vistaicons.com/
So I downloaded the set... it's beautiful! Problem is, I've really got no idea at all, which icons go where! I mean, some of 'em are obvious, of course... but seeing as how I've never seen anything but a handful of Vista screenshots, I figured there might be some ambitious icon packager out there who would be familiar enough with the beta, to know how to package these... I know I'd use 'em, and I'm sure willing to bet there are plenty of folks out there, using KoL's theme, and would absolutely love something like this!
Any takers?

Thanks so very much for the "guide"! That's going to make it sooo much easier for me to figure out what belongs where...
As for this particular set of icons, I wanted to post 'em here, because I've been using high resolutions on my monitors for the last couple of years now, and most of the icon sets made available just don't look "right", when they're shrunk down so small... but this set seems to hold up better than most... maybe because its just functional... I dunno...
Anyhow, thanks again for your help...

Yeah... looks like folks have to be REALLY careful about giving credit these days...
Great news, though! A little more surfing this evening, and I found THIS:
http://www.neowin.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t361339.html
So I downloaded the .png's, and the iconpack (which needs to be unzipped and copied to the Icon Packager "Themes" folder manually... no "click to install" this time)... and it's a GREAT starting point! Most of the icons in the set look cool enough... there are just a handful that I think I'll replace with ones from the set I first mentioned. This has just been a great week, though!
And no... I don't plan to distribute a repackaged version of this theme... the original's good enough... I'd just suggest installing it, and each person can tweak it to their liking... IconPackager's pretty flexible about allowing you to do that...

i took part of a blue-set i found somewhere *forgot* and then made up some more of my own using the blue-folder parts. but, i don't remember where i got the original ones from and don't want to try to release w/o being able to give proper rights to whomeever
but, here's what I use right now *part my own made icons*
