Icons for MediaBrowser
Hi guys, I thought I would put together a thread here for you guys so I can share a MASSIVE collection of icons I have created for Media Browser.
In this collection I have several styles to choose from and icons created specifically for Movie Boxsets and for TV Show Collections.
I will also post my Photoshop Actions and psd's used to make all the icons. So if you like the set and want to add to it, you can do so very easily and they will come out EXACTLY as I intended.
This first set is my Movie Boxset Collection.
This collection was dreamed up by my friend from the MB Community, BigArrickSon and I, and has grown to it's current size due to overwhelming popularity and our love for the community.
We have three styles to choose from and over 350 icons in each set.
To see the gallery for any set just click on it's preview image.

Ok, On to the TV Show Icons....
I have over 1000++ Shows done and in the Downloads and will be happy to take any request for new shows needed to complete your collection.
If you would like to have a insert of your choice, please provide a link from the tvdb directly to the enlarged image on the tvdb. Don’t just link me to a page of backdrops and say “I want the 3rd one” I appreciate it. :]

And last but not least I have my TV Seasons Collection done in a Diamond and Disk Icon.
Download Collection
If I'm missing a small handful from your shows, I'll consider doing them. But because where talking about seasons, and some shows have LOTS of seasons.
I dont want any more then say 5 show request per user visit. And please try to keep request visits to like once a month per user.
That way I dont get totally slammed doing these things.

I would also like to add that I take no credit for any of the art I use in any of my work, and would like to thank all the artist to whom I've borrowed work from.
Without you, my clever Photoshop manipulations would be worthless…
In this section I am going to give you an inside look at seeing how the icons found here in my thread are made.
I am going to provide you with everything you would need to easily reproduce any of the icons I feature in these tutorials.
With the hopes you will return the favor by sharing your creations back with the community.
These download packs are all going to include a custom made automated Action.
An Action is a PS tool that will allow me to record my self making a icon.
Then I can give that recording “Action” to you, and you will be able to playback my actions and build any of my work with your own art in the icon.
Note:These Actions will only work on a English installation of Photoshop!!!
There will be a MANDATORY set of folders included in the download that you must place in your C:\ Drive for everything to work right
That folder is. C:\Photoshop Temp
To turn on the use of Actions, click the Window button at the top of Photoshop, then check off Actions.
That will open the new Actions command window.
I have detailed instructions for each action included in the downloads as well as the download page it's self.
Here is a Complete list of Keyboard Shortcuts for CS4
If you run into something you need help with please just ask.
And without anymore ramblings….
Here are your Tutorials.

Tip
Setup for TV Seasons:
You can use the gallery’s download all feature and grab everything and then drop the ones you need in your season folders.
Then use the batch files found below and run the “SetupTvFolderIcons.cmd” from inside each show folder and it will rename the new icons automatically.
To help out in the task of running the “SetupTvFolderIcons.cmd” from each show folder, I am going to provide you yet another batch file set.
With this set I want you to place them in the parent directory along side all your TV Series.
Now run the “Copy SetupTv to all top folders.cmd”. This will copy the SetupTvFolderIcons.cmd into all your shows folders (not the Season folders, only the Series)
Now you can one by one enter your Series folders, run the batch file, then delete it.
Then back out and do it again to the next Series.
I know it seems like a lot, but trust me it’s easier then renaming all the files by hand.
Here is the two batch files you'll need.
