Custom made icons [1]

Thanks A Guy / kado897! I decided to go ahead and put up another one tonight. :D
@ kado897 - GIMP is only temporary until I can get Photoshop reinstalled. I've been using Photoshop since 2003. Using GIMP has me completely lost... :confused: I think I may try out Paint.NET though, just to see how much I like it.

Paint.NET is much simpler than Gimp. You can get it from here. Paint.NET - Free Software for Digital Photo Editing

and lots of plugins from here. Paint.NET Forum -> Plugins - Publishing ONLY!

Firefox Extension Icon for XPI Files

Just in-case you find you're lacking color in your mixture of icons :D

Firefox_XPI_Extension_Icon_SmithUnwesson_SevenForums.png

For those that aren't familiar with XPI files, they are a type of compressed file that self installs when opened in Firefox. There are no other applications that use the XPI extension, as far as I know.

I'm including the registry file as a separate file download. If you need help applying the registry edit, I've included a tutorial titled "HOW TO APPLY REGISTRY EDITS FOR CUSTOM XPI FILE ICONS." It is in the zip file "XPI.REGISTRY.FILES.&.TUT..."

Also, after applying these registry edits the XPI context menu "Open" option will automatically open the file into Firefox. Using this you can also select multiple addons and open them all at the same time. The addons will all install as one instance after Firefox starts, only requiring you to click the "Install" prompt once! :geek:

Anyway, maybe someone else will get some use out of this besides me! ENJOY! ;)

The Icon zip includes the following sizes:
ICO (256x256,128x128,48x48,32x32,24x24,16x16)
PNG (258x258)

If you're interested in looking at a few more of my icons, you can check out my deviantART profile HERE. I'll be working on my preview images and posting them here later on.

EDIT: It just occurred to me that I may be breaking forum rules by including the TUT with my registry edit zip file...:shock:
I will remove the registry zip from this post until I get clarification from admin. My apologies ;)

GRIINZ Icons - A Work In Progress

Hello 7! Here is a preview of an icon set that I've been building for about 6 months now. I hope to eventually have a full set of about 200 icons :)

I certainly welcome feedback! I'd like to see what others think, and try to make improvements :geek:

Nice icons! I would also recommend putting them up on the RocketDock site as well as DeviantART and here on SF. ;)

Thanks Jaidyn! I just created an account on RocketDock :cool: Here is my profile.

It looks like I'll have to wait until they allow me to upload my own icon sets. I think so anyway, I didn't see any obvious way of doing it.

I'll be uploading to deviantART as soon as I finish working on my preview image :)

Thanks again for the rep!

Thanks for the Icons Archie, but I have two problems:

The first one is the Minimise, Maximise, and Close buttons are really hard to see, how can I make that white?

Secondly the start orb won't change, I have tried Restoring though Start Orb changer, but it failed, I think my explorer.exe is actually genuinely like that now, can you send me a normal explorer.exe attatchment or help me troubleshoot this please.

Hello FaceOfJoe,

If you attach the explorer.exe with your next post, I will correct it for you :)
