A preview of an icon set I'm making

I previewed it on Aqua/Aero Softs yesterday so I'll include some of today's teasers here:

Very spiffy.

I look forward to its release.

acronym16 · Dec 2, 2004, 04:24 PM

So tasty!

CreepingDeth · Dec 2, 2004, 04:30 PM

Enough with the HDs, let's see some folders!

Photo678 · Dec 2, 2004, 04:31 PM

very PHAT

Mike S. · Dec 2, 2004, 04:57 PM

In drive icon previews the black one is Aquero aero and the blue is Aquero aqua and yet in the teaser image the aero variant is on the aqua desktop and the aqua variant is on the aero desktop.

Was that an error or a visual play on the tagline, "a new perspective"?

Oh, they look nice

pyn · Dec 2, 2004, 05:21 PM

the big preview one was to trick you

Caesar2099 · Dec 2, 2004, 05:52 PM

No words...

Except these:
Simply amazing! Although if I may critique the drives.. oh I may not... nevermind then.

Here is a try @ the docs folder. Credits to Timan for the extremely long jibber-jabber on the document. In case you can't read, the tittle is Document by Timan

Komisar · Dec 2, 2004, 06:24 PM

I'm excited for this set!

CreepingDeth · Dec 2, 2004, 06:28 PM

Either you use a great method for resizing or you made the icons in 256x256.

Folders look nice. Black ones are my favorite.

silencedge · Dec 2, 2004, 08:05 PM

Excellent set.

pyn · Dec 2, 2004, 08:39 PM

I make my icons 256x256

Lots of touching up when resized to 48x48 and below :o

NetworkShadow · Dec 2, 2004, 09:54 PM

Looking forward to this set. Just make sure the mini icons don't look like crap for us columns view only users.

these icons look terrific. when are they available for installation via SS...? Also, is a theme planned around them ?

SafariX · Dec 15, 2004, 10:25 PM

daddy want icon set

Holigen · Dec 15, 2004, 11:35 PM

Awesome. Good that your making in 256 cause in Tiger, thats gonna be the largest size (probably because of the 30 cinema display).

Or because of resolution independence... (not that it'll be on in 10.4.0)

Banghazi · Dec 16, 2004, 02:46 AM

With those PSDs can I just pop'em in PS and use IconBuilder? If so, why don't you just do that and release them as ready2use/(incomplete set) icons?

Read the board, one called aquero theme, now what does that tell you? perhaps you should read it.

pyn · Dec 16, 2004, 03:50 PM

Once Aeroesque is finished [by acronym16 most likely] they will contain Nelchael's upcoming icons [view at Aero-Soft] (I have permission).

As for the PSDs, I released those so that some people can play with it and make new folders [and drives] with 'em.

KrypToniK · Dec 16, 2004, 04:02 PM

AQUEROaqua looks promising.

Ok.

Another question: Suppose I want to use them as icons.. I tried filtering with IconBuilder, and it only recognizes a sillhouette of the icon.(?) So how do I export the PSDs as usable icons? I'm more than satisfied with a few of them.

(Like those hard drives

)

pyn · Dec 16, 2004, 09:23 PM

that's cause iconbuilder is a filter, and a filter only works on one layer. save for web as a png and then filter that

Let's make that simpler.
Delete background layer (if necessary)
Cmd+Shift+E

makes a flattened layer with all transparencies.

Did, it says (preview) that's why I'm asking.

If you had read the entire thread you would realise that pyn has realesed it open source and has decided not to actualy make the theme due to its complex, time consueming and very challengeing design. You would also have read that I am going to attmept to (and have allready started) creating the theme based on his origional design.

P.S. I will also be attempting the icons, allthough I have a feeling it may not be a complete set.

DJ_FoX_MaC_Clou · Mar 27, 2005, 01:15 PM

well, any news on this?

pyn · Mar 27, 2005, 01:59 PM

no not really...i might pick it up again though
