I like Eylo, but I also find I can't find any appropriate icons to match it. So I decided to make my own. They're not perfect but they work, I'm gonna release two different versions. Right now I'm still working on the first version, but here's a preview:

Let me know what you think, but please go easy on me

SomeToast · Jan 22, 2004, 03:25 AM

There's a little hiccup in the top line of each folder just to the right of the tab, but otherwise they're looking good!

Dace · Jan 22, 2004, 03:39 AM

Hmm, you got quite an eye. I think thats an optical illusion though. I'll see what I can do.

mac15 · Jan 22, 2004, 04:49 AM

wow they are really really nice, Once thats little glitch is fixed they'll be perfect!

Frisbee · Jan 22, 2004, 05:44 AM

I can see the glitch too, man. What's that background? I like that...

mac15 · Jan 22, 2004, 06:03 AM

It looks like Keynote's Chalk background

wibs · Jan 22, 2004, 06:17 AM

i think it's one of Eylo's packaged backgrounds.

Nice
You then need to make a set for NeOS

brutal · Jan 22, 2004, 06:31 AM

Totally awesome!

I never got around to use Eylo just because I couldn't find matching icons, so these are perfect!
I hope you've got time and patience to make a complete set. Systemicons and all..

Yup, it's they EYLO desktop. You'll find it in the "Extras" folder within the ShapeShifter DMG.

Looks like I got featured at Macthemes.net ....wow, surprise they remember the theme I ported "SEER". They also mentioned the XBOX and PS2 theme mockups, thought people had forgotten about those

XBOX wasn't a mockup though, I had themed some elements(called the theme XOSX)...I just never released anything. I also tried making a Canadian theme and a Co-Pilot port. Themes take too long to make

Just so people always ask you to change this and that... Anyways, I will be releasing these icons as a full iContainer set.

Stuphalina · Jan 22, 2004, 08:26 AM

Very nice!

FB Eye · Jan 22, 2004, 10:17 AM

A full iContainer set implies that you'll do all of the toolbar icons, right? I've seen many promising sets who lacked essential toolbar icons...

Super nice work

bOOzo · Jan 22, 2004, 11:37 AM

Not bad. My suggestion would be to make the folder icons lean in the same angle as the folder, and to fix the edge if the red area that someone mentioned.

About your mockups dace, I think you lead people to believe that you are making the theme when you post mockups, maybe you should be more clear about that. Some people are waiting on you to make the Co-pilot X theme.

servo · Jan 22, 2004, 11:56 AM

So what are people using for Eylo icons while they wait for a good set? With SS 1.1 Eylo is now totally useable, except for the lack of some cool icons to go along with the theme.

iNeusch · Jan 22, 2004, 12:29 PM

Could you show a screenshot with the theme and the icons ?

Thanks

zedwards · Jan 22, 2004, 01:45 PM

Your icons look great! This theme is great btw max, I use it all the time and YES it needs icons ASAP, as I am using graphite aqua, and that is so boring. =)

Patcarla · Jan 22, 2004, 01:49 PM

Good stuff dace.

Keep going.

samvermette · Jan 22, 2004, 07:03 PM

Very, very nice.

Lord Sith · Jan 22, 2004, 08:34 PM

WOW!

Can we see a full-screen screenshot with the icons and the theme side-by-side?

smeger · Jan 22, 2004, 10:14 PM

These are really groovy! (by the way, "Developer" only has one "p")

Thanks, I noticed that mistake. Its been corrected. I make that mistake because in french 'developper" is with 2 ps...also "developper' is a verb in french...but thats the reason

C'est un bon raison! (Ma fran�ais est comme la vache grosse.)

bluevertical · Jan 22, 2004, 10:33 PM

Awesome icon set.... I'll be switching back to EYLO when these icons are complete!

Here's your screenshot

<WARNING: PEOPLE WHO HATE BLUE SHOULD NOT LOOK AT THE SCREENSHOT>

Ozzpot · Jan 22, 2004, 11:15 PM

These are looking really good. It's good to see someone taking interest in theme-specific icons. Some themes out there are so cool, but impossible to get icons for. Remember, if you're going to release these, please try to make it a full set. Full icon sets are such a rarity unfortunately. Look at the icons CandyBar lets you change, and make sure every one of those is catered for for a start...

A little off topic, but you're the DACE that made the BBX Mercury dock skins, right?
I wouldn't have my dock looking any other way!

Two questions:

1). Do you know if Skin-a-dock is a dead project? It hasn't been updated for ages, and doesn't work with Panther. Any ideas on that? I'm using A-dock right now as a dock replacement just to use your BBX Black dock skin!

2). Do you plan to make any more dock skins? An Eylo one would be so cool. BBX Black looks awesome already with Neos!

Thanks, Man.

Awimoway · Jan 22, 2004, 11:50 PM

I would make the X for the System folder look more Panther-ish and therefore less serifed. The typeface for the X just doesn't match the modern look of the other icons.

i agree

I disagree, that would make the folders look like they're in perspective...and they're not. Besides, some of the icons are slanted or have a slant

That Safari icons kicks ass. I'm not sure which one I like better.

If you make a full system set for Eylo including the main apps (Safari, iLife apps, mail, etc.) you will be the grooviest person ever.

Same for me
They look nice by the way !

Lyric OS 13.0 · Jan 23, 2004, 01:11 PM

Dace you've done it again!

Nicely done.

You should bundle this icon set with the theme.

Your Marathon symbol is wonky

The set looks great, though

Dace · Jan 28, 2004, 01:27 AM

Bet you thought I forgot about these icons...well I haven't. Took a break this weekend to work on more important things. Here is what I got so far. Did Max and Kevin get paid for Eylo and GUIPod? Just wondering, thats all

Anyways, here is what I got so far:

mac15 · Jan 28, 2004, 01:33 AM

Wow, great icons! I personnaly like the secound Safari icon better

These are so cool. You definitely chose the right Safari icon, too. Can't wait for the release. I hope it's complete too!

I know Max got paid for EYLO.

BTW, the set is looking great. It might make EYLO usable.

TheGUiTom · Aug 2, 2004, 01:47 PM

So... any news?
Can't wait for it to be released!

Just wanna make sure that you're aware there was a previous made-for-Eylo icon set (called A-Lo no less). I got it when I was using Eylo a while back, and I've always been using the icons with other themes I like them so much. (They seem like pretty 'appropriate' icons to match Eylo.

)

And could someone tell me why I can't seem to find anything whatsoever about that old A-Lo icon set on the web??

Banghazi · Aug 2, 2004, 07:43 PM

To correct myself...

I think I may have been talking about "Hyleo", found here.

TheGUiTom · Aug 2, 2004, 08:03 PM

Great!
Thanks!
