212RikanMofo Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 32, 48, 64, 72, or 128? just curious as to what most of you use, im using 72 on a 1600x1200 desktop... would 128 be good or no? also how would you set it so only icons on your desktop are at 128x128? and nothing else?

fr33k Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 i went insane trying to ask that question unfortunately as of yet it can't be done. if you make your shell icons 128x128 it makes all the icons 128x128 and that just looks crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinh Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 I use 48. If only someone knew how to get the desktop icons any size you want while the rest are 32 or 38. Then i might change my desktop to 72 or higher. :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzla Veteran Posted January 23, 2002 Veteran Share Posted January 23, 2002 I win :D I made a couple of 256 x 256 icons and 512 x 512 icons. I made a 700 x 700 icon, but it just wouldn't show on the desktop. Here's the 256 x 256: Here's the 512 x 512 icon! hehe, totally impractical, but worth a try. btw normally I use 64 x 64.

Guest deadzombie Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 I can't break my word. You know what I mean. However - you're the icon specialist, right? Forget about that screenie (it's not as cool as it looks, trust me), and help me with a current project that will give you what you want. An ENTIRE system set of custom icons. Every windows app, every system icon, every file type known to XP. Converted from Aqua to XP from scratch with every detail scrutinized for the best quality image. Just so one app can call out to it for the proper icons. Want to help? This is starting the week after next... Think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted January 23, 2002 Veteran Share Posted January 23, 2002 I'm not quite sure what you mean. Converted from Aqua to XP from scratch What does this mean? I thought every Aqua icon was converted to Windows XP format by Disciple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for being a little off-topic, but Dazzla is this a visual style you use on your desktop? If it is, I would like you to tell me where to download it cause it's really really good :) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeaR Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Those icons r huge. You would need a 51" mon with an insanely high res to have them display properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
