Title: I was a touch bored earlier....
Post by: davidsinn on February 07, 2009, 07:03:00 PM
So I created a series of CAP themed icons to jazz up my folders.  ;D

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/davidsinn/insignia/sinn_cap_icons_v._0.1.jpg)

Contrary to what the preview shows there are no borders around the icons so it'll look good no matter what your background color is. For example: there is no white around the triprop or any other round icon.

Neat! For the computer stupid among us (like me...) where do I save the file so I can use them...

Take the zip and then extract it to a folder. It contains separate icon files. You can stick the folder anywhere you want. You'll need to know how to change icons. I suggest googling it. In WinXP you can change the icon on a plain folder which is what I did.

Okay.. I know how to change icons, but I didn't know if the new icons had to go in a specific folder to be accessable or whatever...

Thanks..

Nope. Just put them someplace you can find them. I forgot to mention there is a cost to use these: Send $5 to your favorite charity. ;D

I've updated to version 0.2. It appears that I can no longer go in and change the first post so I'll just attach it here. It contains all the icons in the first one. I'm open to requests so if you have anything you'd like to see just let me know. Images would be appreciated  ;)

Thanks for going to all that work.  I have been looking for just this type of thing.  I had downloaded a trial icon maker only made a few (which you included in this version). 

So again Thanks! :clap:

There is no PD or Personnel.
Good work though.
