I wanted to do something very different to the usual 3D and detailed icons you see. I wanted to do something very 2D in fact and very 'iconic' and simple that stood out with a minimum of colours. The reason for the name of this set is that years ago i was a huge fan of the 'Wipeout' series of games and i loved how effective the 2d graphics of the signs and pilot insignia were. So this is my spin on some 2D icons.... Full applications set coming this Spring, and possibly a full system set depending on feedback.

Any comments, suggestions welcome! Keep an eye on my deviantart page for more!

Thanks for all the posts guys, I'm still hoping for an end of April release with the set although in truth i'm struggling to make the hardware and system icons as unique as the rest of them. Some of the icons i am very happy with... just done an Adobe cs2 set and quite frankly it rocks in my humble opinion!!!!

Overall i'm about 80% done. All icons are 192x192 PNGs for crisp detail and i'll convert them all to ICO format as well. I'm dabbling with the idea of a matching avetunes widget but may release separately.

Xypher... I've not had a PM from you. Have just PM'd you with my email.

Set is progressing slowly cos of real life stuff, but is coming along nicely. I've teamed up with SKM Industries and together we're doing truely kick-ass wallpapers to match this set. Check out his deviantart page for an idea of whats coming.

Well i've got a lot of generic icons to avoid doing 5 different firewalls for example. Think i've got most of the popular ones but I have to draw the line somewhere or there will be tons of request to add to my 'to do list'.

From the top of my head i've done; office programs, adobe cs suites, wmp, itunes, msn messenger and users, folders, discs, all system icons, firefox, nero, quicktime, avedesk, samurize, generic icons (desktop search, firewall, p2p, bittorent, disk cleaner, defragmenter, antivirus, spyware, wireless) thunderbird, adobe reader/acrobat. etc etc etc. Numbering nearly 90 individually designed icons at the moment and now need at least another 20-30. I'll listen to requests but no promises!

    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
