Well, it's done.

Thanks to everyone who helped with this project, and special thanks to elverado for creating Crystal icons in the first place! ;)

CrystalMX is a combination of the original Crystal icon set and the new Crystal SVG set. The icons have been re-named and re-organized to make better sense for Windows users, and are sorted by style and function. The set also contains dozens of custom additions made by me, including icons for virtually every file type commonly used. The icons are available in the following sizes: 16,24,32,48,64,72, and 128.

Thanks to hush66's excellent avi's, and Fizical's hacking, a shell32 is also available for download. The only version currently available is for WinXP Pro, SP1, 6.0.2800.1233. Also available is a shdocvw.dll, version 6.0.2800.1203. Fizical is currently working on other system files and I will post them as they are made available. Finally, I am making the file types template available, so that anyone can easily create their own file type icons - the template is a 72 layer .psd which I used to create most of the custom file type icons.

So, here are the files:

The complete icon set

shell32.dll and shdocvw.dll

file types template (psd)

I have also created a crystalMX homepage, which will be updated as new files are made available, here: crystalMX website

Last but not least, here is a quick preview (click to enlarge)

Well, that's it for now. I'll post back here (and update the crystalMX website) when more files are available, but in the meantime, enjoy the icons!! :D

I know i don't post often, i don't know if this has been stated and i don't want to be a jerk, but i couldn't help but notice FOOOD's icandy icons included in the set

is that normal

other than that it is super sweet

Actually, foood contributed to the original Crystal set (and SVG, I believe) and therefore his contributions are covered under the LGPL, as are the rest of the Crystal icons. However, I did email him just to make sure he didn't have any issues with me using his icons in my set, and he was kind enough to give me permission (as did Steve Smith at deviantART with his mIRC icon) ... anyway, that's why I specifically mention foood in the readme, I pretty much cut and pasted that part of the readme from the email he sent me ...

;)

But, a good question nonetheless.

hey guys if there is anything in those files you feel i've missed please let me know. i wanted to get them to you asap! i know there are a couple of files with some small .avi files that i couldnt replace because that .avi file had not been made by hush. i have based my replaced icons on other packs including those files since atleast i know that i cant go wrong by doing the same as another pack. but in most cases i replaced more icons. anyway let me know of any problems and i will be happy to do whatever i can! :)

now i really gotta get ready for this weekend break :)

Cheers!

Fizical

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
