[quote who="AceMatrix" reply="16" id="3027066"]I have been throwing around a few concepts for a new Folder collection[/quote] Nice designs, AceMatrix. However, I can't help but feel that you should do more than just folders this time. I, for one, believe you have the skills to do more. We know you can do folders (and great folders at that), and you know you can do folders. Push the envelope... go further. I'm not saying you should do a complete iconpackage per se , but

Cheers Cyndie Took a day off form the icons today to spend plenty of time with my better half, but I should have the drives finished by Monday at the latest. Then I'll get back to the folders and then start the system files and control panel stuff, which I think make up the bulk of any iconpackage. I like skinning for a few reasons but mostly because it allows me to work with graphic

Reply to Where’s Adobe Going? One Place–“The Creative Cloud” in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="starkers" reply="4" id="3026046"]Yeah, and in Australia we pay upwards of $200 more for PhotoShop than folks in the US, etc.... despite our dollar being above parity on the $USD. The difference on the full creative suite is even greater... for something that's already ridiculously priced to begin with. The standard edition of Adobe Photoshop sells at AUD$1,671 and the creative suites range from AUD$2,172 and go up to AUD$4,344. At those prices I'll never ever ow

Starkers - Cheers for the comment. Glad you like them (so far).[e digicons]:grin:[/e] AceMatrix - Thank you for the input. But I feel I have to reiterate some points I've already made. I've looked at icons by people far better at making them than I, and they look awful at lower resolutions. I for one do not have my icons at a small scale. It seems kind of redundant for skinners to make icons that look amazing at 256px if people are just going to have them at the smallest scal

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="6" id="3025678"]StevenAus, I don't think Jafo was addressing you with what he wrote, as I understood him. I believe he was telling the bone heads who choose to dive in shark habitats to expect the sharks to be sharks, as well as to tell them that the white tips are a protected species, and therefore not to hunt them for doing (quite well) what they were designed to do.[/quote] [e digicons]k1[/e] .

[quote who="Vampothika" reply="39" id="3024540"]that folder with the cd icon, make the cd larger, dont forget that people see these from a small resolution most of the time, so they have to be able to visually conect with the icon on eye contact. it sounds stupid, but its what we all do.[/quote] I reduce all the icons down to 4-5% in Photoshop before I save a copy in. png format. I'd been bothered that they may be unrecognisable at such a scale, but I was reassured that it's n

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Since there were no guesses forthcoming, the reason for the clock displaying six minutes to midnight is because... that's the present setting of the Doomsday Clock. You may not have noticed, but if I've seen a chance to incorporate a dominion in some way (however loosely) then I've done so. The poem used in the documents folder suggests the dominion of the mind; Cthulhu was used for the pictures folder, and Cthulhu's dominion was R'lyeh; t

Thanks guys. [quote who="RedneckDude" reply="34" id="3024206"]the only support I can offer is [/quote] A comment is all the support I'd ask for. Whether that comment says my work is good, bad or anything else isn't the point (though it is helpful). To me it seems odd that a thread about some skinning in progress, on a site devoted to skinning, would get so little support. Views are one thing, but comments are another. Comments can give a skinner a boost in morale, espe

[quote who="Vampothika" reply="32" id="3024062"]i still do them.....not sure why, but do them anyways.[/quote] It was only about a week or so since I was asking myself the same question, "why do this?" I can't say that this thread has received the support that I'd hoped it would, and that had really got me down until I talked to some people and they all pointed out that I should be doing this (skinning) for myself. They're damn right, and I wonder how I lost sight of that

A few things worth mentioning: 1) I've decided to make this into an iconpackage, rather than just folders and drives. It is going to take quite a while to get finished, but I'll be aiming for the big enchilada and making 100+ icons. 2) I'm a little weary of the folders at the moment, so I'm going to start working on the drives and come back to the folders at a later date. 3) The time on the Recent folder's clock is six minutes to midnight.
