Awesome. I have been checking your site daily for these.

Though, it appears some of the icons are disapearing if they are between 32 and 48 pixels in size. A binch of the folders and a couple others here and there. At least they do when i move the size slider in Pixadex.

These icons will distract me in my search for the ultimate Halloween icon set.
After the holidays they will be used very often.

A full CandyBar iContainer! Amazing!

You know these look like they should go good with SIRO with the blue glowy thingy on the bottoms of the folders..

Edit: The one thing I don't like is the perfectly square Connect Toolbar icon.. Doesn't exactly flow with the rest of everything.

Okay, I just got a chance to load these icons on my desktop at work. Wow, they are great.

Though, am I still the only person to notice some of the icons disapear if their size is between 32 and 48 pixels?

Could well be a problem with your Finder/Pixadex prefs. Try trashing them, or just doing a log out or restart. That might solve your problem.

...but I'm no themer. If anyone wanted to give me a shout, maybe we could work something out to get an lcars theme done...

Okay, this is just weird. No one else has this problem? Set your icon size to say, 44x44. Are all the icons still visible? I would call this a fluke but it is repeatable. I'm looking at 2 separate machines where this happens...

Fantastic job!

Quality AND quantity! Amazing. Thanks so much.

To dislike Sinatra is a sign of highly questionable taste. To dislike the Beatles is a serious character flaw.

It's not your system. Some icons lack the 48x48 size, e. gr.: the command alternative folder; dropbox folder; music folder; home alternative folder; sites alternative folder; etc.

The set is great (as stated, both in quantity and quality), but, indeed, many icons lack those versions: it doesn't seem to be a problem here on the dock, but in the finder, folders just disappear if I choose that missing size.

As much as it isn't a problem for me (I like to use them in big sizes; bigger than 48 pixels, anyway), I checked it on another computer also, with identical results.

All-in-all, very nice set!

Awesome set though!

Anyone have a thing where you drag the optical disc icons into CandyBar and they just become generic discs, without the labels reading "DVD," "CD-R" or whatever? It happens that way on two seperate machines for me.

I'd say that's done on purpose. I guess the author had to drop some details when the icons are reduced to the smaller sizes (16x16 & 32x32), or else they wouldn't look well.

I have the icons set to 32x32 on my desktop and I can't click on them! I can see them fine, but clicking does nothing. Perhaps a problem with the masks?

Makes sense. Never thought of it that way.

Again, great work widget : widget.

Edit: Nope. Even upon inserting a CD or a DVD, with my desktop icons set on maximum size of 128x128, I don't get the l'il badges... Just a blank disc icon. Hmmm.

That's weird: here they work perfectly, I can see the badges if on 128X128 and smaller, only not when used in the smallest sizes. I'd say you should make sure they are the right icons in CB, and if they don't show re-download the icon set.

It's weird, none of them seem to have Huge icons (as indicated by Iconographer) but some seem to resize and others just disappear around 44 pixels.

As a rule of thumb, I've never used the 'huge' icon resource... there's never really been a demand so to speak, and the Finder usually does a grand job of resizing things down to 32x32 and 16x16.

But with the advent of my first Candy Bar set, it seems that the 48x48 will have to be something I embrace in the future. I expect though that this could be a glitch in the Finder than any fault on the design.

Despite all this though, thanks to you all for your support and comments. Much appreciated.
