Menu item icon requests?

Post by kunkel321 »

Here are the three I'm currently using...

Toggle Hide Folders
Thumbnail View
Show same folder in other pane.

Any ideas for other button images?

Bring back the politically incorrect ones.  You know which ones I'm talking about.  :twisted:

They are new.  Sorry, I should've put a better explanation.  I'm referring to images for menu items that do not have corresponding x2 skin icons.  I.e., Ones that might be used for Snakebyte MenuHack User Commands...

 Alrighty then!  How about uploading a Kilmatead forum avatar, so I'll have something to build upon!?!   :P  :wink:

Unfortunately for you I'm a devout iconoclast.  No body art, piercings in unfortunate places, or untrimmed toenails.  If given a choice between a picture and a thousand words - well, I'll amuse myself with a treatise on the Nicaraguan Brown-throated Three-toed Sloth, just because it's got a cool name that makes its enemies yawn in fear (something I think my bank manager is doing since I concluded fractional reserve banking was a scam and decided since my debts never existed in the first place, so they don't exist now).  Oh, off-topic?  Sorry. :wink:

The icons I was referring to (the dynamic duo of x2 Bourgeoisie) you've already done... but no doubt removed them as part of your own cleaned up avatar-image campaign, which so disappointed us sleepy animals of the rain forest.  Everyone always thinks of "practical" icons - no one ever uses the poor beleaguered Tse-tse fly or the desperately unpopular Nematode family.  Why is it when North American fathers refer to their sons as "Slugger" they never imagine the kid will grow up to be an anti-social slimy thing hiding under a rock?  Oh, off-topic?  Sorry.  :wink:

Hey, you did ask for ideas... you never specified they had to be practical ideas...  there's a lot to be said for clicking furiously on Fred's fishing sun-bonnet... :D

A pity you can't iconify the plethora of otherwise-naked "Use Current" and "Organize" commands, that'd be fun.

:thumbup: You hacked into my webcam! :D

(It also explains why my secret scheme to get rich as an internet porn star isn't going too well...)

Okay you've inspired me, Kilmatead...
I contacted my paparazzi friend to get some juicy pics of Fred and Nikos, then integrated them into the x2 skin...
Image
Also, I chopped the images up into individual icons and threw in a bunch of miscellaneous bits and pieces and compiled them into an .icl file...  It was compiled with IcoFX and only contains ico files.  I'm attempting to post an access point for the public folder in my SkyDrive...  Hopefully this won't allow some jergoff to hack my email...

 Let's see if this works.

BTW was going to throw a sloth image in there for good measure, but couldn't find any that were recognizable at 16x16....

I thought we were moving to 24x24...

Hmm... interesting - not sure about the sunset (?); I like the scythe (:evil:); and the discombobulated finger is... well... spooky.

Nice effort - "swap panes" in particular.  Cheers!

And yeah, you're right... scaling down to 16 turns into a smudgy fingerprint...

Thanks!
And I'm glad you were able to discern the "swap folders"  :lol:
The sunset is actually a picture of the Puget Sound in W Wa that I took along time ago.  Windows kept using it as a auto-generated image on my Pictures folder, So I just adopted it from there...

Heck ya we're ready for 24x24 toolbar support!
Image
Though personally, I think we should go for 48x48...
Image
(easier to tell what the images are supposed to be!)

Extra note:  The finger (in the .icl) is a "thumbnail view."   :wink:

New submission.
Okey Dokey Nikos:  I just mailed you kunkel321 icon skin v2.
It has the 16x16 icons, a readme, and the compiled miscalaneous icons above.  Note that the set is new and improved with maximized grooviness.
