Reply to New CorelDRAW Graphics Suite to be released on February 1st in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I just started playing with x3, I have had some frieds beta testing it, and they tell me it is quite stable. I own 12, but still use 11 due to some anying bugs in 12. So far X3 or 13 whatever it is called seams quite stable, and they have finaly fixed some things that have been driving be crazy since 10. I plan to hammer on the trial for the next 15 days to make sure all is well. but from what Ive seen so far I will be ordering my upgrade before then.

Humm..... OK lets check a few things. The .packages file should be in the Parent Iconpack. The sub packs should have nothing exta except there .iconpackage file should be .subpackage. You cant zip all of them up togeather as one ip. becuse Iconpackager dose not recreate the folders when it un zips them. if you just zip them. then unzip them the folders will stay. I think this is a bug in Iconpackager, it needs to allow you to zip them all togeather. But at the

I guess I have a old build, you want the sub packages button. For the sub package just include the Icons you want to change, then check "Load parent" checkbox. Now go to the finished packages an change the .iconpackes file to .subpackage that way the subpacks will only show up in the dropdown of the parent package. And when it loads, it will load the parent, then the changed Icons on top of it. The problem is if you leave subpackages as .iconpackage they will con

Jack, Probobly becuse they contain the vista Icons, you can update to the newest version and it should fix it. Po, All you have to do is make sure you have 3.1 then make your main pack. in package builder create your subpackages. Then create your parent package, in package builder you will see a ?????? button, I dont know why this is, named that way. I will yell at brain abou that. Anyway. Here you ad

PS. Sorry about the delay on the update. We are finishing up GalCiv2 right now and I am working on it pritymuch 24 7 for the next 8 days. I could update the pack now but I would rather finish it off write. so eveyone is happy. It will be worth the wait I think.

Libby. You can upgrade to IP 3.1 for free. if you own any version of Iconpackager, not just 3.0. Jack, I will be posting a new version of Appoge, that will be free to everyone who has already bought it. And replace the verion that is for sale now. It will contain over 50 new filetypes as well as 16, 32, 48, 64, 72, 128, 256 pixel versions. I forgot to include 72 in these becuse they are desinged for Vista, witch uses 256 for everything above 4

Reply to Vista Icons and the Vista 3D engine in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

We should be getting a beta of Sparkle soon, and will be able to do some real world testing. But Like I said, I think we will find that 2D qouds will stay the standard for some time. Not that it wont be cool to have the optio to do more. There are only so many animated objects we want on our desktop. This is one thing that apple has down, they know that subtle quality will out shine in your face "effects" every time.

Reply to Rant: Where is the creativity? in Making Icons JoeUser Forums

I have to admit that I have noticed this, however I hope it is a good thing. Yangge has been heavily influenced by me for years now, but he has never directly ripped me and he has come out with several Wonderful Icon set. I see this as a good thing. The more quality Icons out there the better. And beside it pushes me to do something different the next time. Which I might add is become harder and harder, and other Artist get better and better.

At the moment, the 3D Icons are not realy "3d" they are 256 x 256 pngs being rendered to a qoud. So they are a flat Bilbord in a 3D space. This may not be the case forever, but the truth is it is all that is neeaded for 99% of the things Icons are used for. If you do true 3D icons you have to build in rendering etc for it all, and god knows what the you would have to limit your polygons to. I would bet that if the Icons were true 3D models, they would look worse not better. But

I have been playing with the Vista beta and have to admit that the Arrow glass is already pritty old. They did not do the best job implementing the glass, and if gets annoying. I make jokes that the first thing a skinner dose when he/she gets thier hads on Alpha Blending is "Glass", it is the most obvious thing. But Its not nessasarly the best Idea for something you work with evrery day. God knows I did the same thing with DesktopX V1 years ago. <a href="http://mormegi
