[icons] GANT Shell32 Pack

[andy_rose]

Right now all the Server 2003 files total 162 MB. The Shell32 alone is 106 MB.

An SP1 port would be about the same size.

Why not use the lite packs instead?? There is no need really to use the icons that are 256x256 or whatever the size is. By using the lite pack u will greatly reduce the file sizes.

And it is the same icons in both packs, only difference is the max size.

i agree.. who *really* needs 256x256 icons??? if they DO, then im sure its for 10-15 icons max, which they can set on their own anyway using IP or whatever..

128x128 is MORE than enough for everyone who wants true quality, and even then, i'd think is way too big..

for myself, 48x48 is really the largest ill ever see them.. but at 128, the size would be twice as less, and thats always a plus.. (Y)

just something for the person porting them to SP1 to think about..

while we on that, who IS porting them right now? cuz if everyones waiting for someone else to do it, then i doubt we'll get them soon.. :whistle:

cant wait for the SP1 version :woot:

I never knew the 256x256 icons ported into the Shell32. Are you sure they do?

I'm not pleased with the file size myself, and it's very messy for my tastes (I'm a perfectionist). Eventually I'll get around to redoing everything and cleaning up icons that don't really need to be there. Until then, this is all I have to offer.

Yes, they do have 256x256 32bits icon in those Shell32.dll (Windows 2003). The one I rebuilt for XP-SP1(Shell32.dll) is only 12.1MB.

Hi jlund, if it OK if I post Shell32.dll for WindowsXP Pro SP1 rebuilt from your Shell32.dll? Let me know, if it's ok, I will post it.

Thanks,

[Kasteo]

I do need to get the permission from jlund first since he's the one who create those AVIs.

Yes, all AVI and icons(except a few that specific for 4/8bits colour).... total file size is 12.1MB.

You'll also need to seek permission from Mattahan, since he made the icons.

[sojumk]

I hope you do get the permission ASAP :rofl:

[futb0l]

wow, this one is good!

[dpanda]

i cant wait...=\

[AaronMT]

Any updates/news ?

[jlund]

PM me a screenie like the one I posted, Kasteo. You should also seek permission from mattahan.

Once I and mattahan approve it, I'll give you a way to send it to me and I'll upload it to the webspace.

And I'll get working on lowering my file size. :laugh:

Hi jlund,

I saw the picture you post, it look like you replaced the the original Tools bar icon(204.bmp-217.bmp) in Shell32.dll with GANT icons. But when I open your Shell32.dll, I didn't find any change in the Bitmap session. I'm wondering how can you make the GANT tools bar without replace those Bitmap?

I'm looking to make a perfect one for WindowsXP SP1 with all GANT icons in both Icons and Bitmap session. I try to make one myself, but the problem is the background on those icon(204.bmp-217.bmp) is not transparent. I'm not sure how to make it transparent. I already try to make the background in black color(0,0,0) like the original one, but it's still not working. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks,

As mentioned before, the icons you're talking about were replaced using Y'z Toolbar. I didn't worry about them.

[Kasteo]

Ohh OK, I got it.... I just built GANT icon Tools bar into shell32.dll myself, so you won't need to run Y'z Toolbar. Now, I just wait for the permission from mattahan and will send Shell32.dll file to you.

Thanks, :)
