It's only 3 sets and they sets only contain a few icons. It would take less then half an hour.

Oh, and the sizes should be 128, 96, 72, 64, 48, 32, 24 and 16 ;)

Dazzla, you're going soft in your old age!

Where's the 256x256 & 512x512 sizes? C'mon guys, some of us run hi-res!!!:p

(Yes, I want these icons converted. However, please follow the board rules in doing so!)

I'm not sure if windows users can see this, but there is a pict clipping included in every .sit, kinda like a readme. Here's what it looks like:

That to me seems to suggest that porting isn't entirely out of the question.

My suggestion would be to email Hein Mevissen at [email protected] and ask for clarification on whether he allows porting. Of course, this only applies to icons downloaded from www.mixthepix.com.

[edit] I can see! I can see![/edit]

I just know I was turned down HARD by Hein earlier in the week. He said he "absolutely did not want any of his icons ported over to Windows at this time!".

Maybe it was my stunning personality that made him so friendly.

Anyhow, the links in question aren't for Hein icons, they're for Jesse Welch's Macromedia MX set. No permission text is included in the .zip. If someone wants to contact Jesse, a link to his email is on the front page of Xicons.

If anyone can get Hein permission, I have a very good reason for wanting his new icons (they match my Quantum theme!)...please send the permission over with the converted sets! If anyone gets Hein permission, you'll be my hero!

Email has been sent, and rest assured, that if permission is granted to a few of us, it doesn't mean everyone can convert them willy nilly.

As with Max and his Milk port, he asked for a limited amount of people converting so he could keep an eye on quality. I don't see how this should be any different, these icons are of exceptional quality and I'm sure if he gives the go ahead, he will want to keep them that way.

Well, an update on Hein's icons, here's a reply to an email I just sent:

Hi,

thanks for the nice comments.

I want my icons only in OS X format.

That's where I created them for.

So I hope you respect that and don't distribute my icon in Xp format.

I have several reasons for that.

Hein Mevissen

Good job that Marvilla created a kick ass tutorial on converting icons, no-one's got an excuse for not having these fantastic icons ;)

Yea guys, I have all these converted, but I have emailed Hein twice about distributing them, but he STRICTLY doesnt want any windows users to distribute these. I just obeyed what he said. Just dont give them out. If you really want to, email the person that is converting them, dont make it public.

Sorry for posting the icons without permission i just like them and after converting i decided to post them, i'am sorry for that and i didn?t want to cause any damage to the author work or make bad publicity, so here are my official apologies to the author and to deadzombie (who was fast enough to deletemy links).

P.S. i will ask permission next time (lesson learned)

deadzombie, how can u be the head janitor and a moderator at the same time? ur gonna have to give one of those titles up, dude. i very seriously doubt the union will continue to allow u having 2 job titles much longer. ur gonna have to talk to ur steward about this!! LOL. also, by 'head janitor', do u mean u r the chief janitor or the one who cleans the toilets? j/k. my suggestion is to keep the highest paying one and let somebody else have the other. just my 2 cents..... :) btw, those icons will look great with ur new theme. i've already converted those while waiting on ur theme release. also, i'm still trying to learn how to use that sharpie with a length of string tied to it and and anchored with a thumbtack idea u gave me a few days ago. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, DZ.

First, seems that being a moderator is nothing more than cleaning up other peoples messes. I can't tell you how many times I've had to pull out the sawdust this past week to cover up someone puking on the threads... (I know, this analogy is nasty, but I think its too funny)

Second: This is a great way to handle copyright. The guy asks we don't distribute and everyone respects his wishes. Joao, I wouldn't worry about those links you posted -> did you receive my email about the situation?

Third: What about the other sets? Don't bother converting the Jaguar icons, I already have all but 2 of them converted (not counting the ugly printers). But I'm certain that permissions for the other sets could be acquired...anyone have the time to track them down?

And last of all: Don't worry about the Hein's icons. Someone I know with excellent icon skills (not me) is working on a set similair to Heins. This could be cool.

yah you can convert them really fast.

unstuff

load all the icons into gif movie gear.

strip out everything cept the 128x128 frames

export as psd

open the psd run marv's action (with my addition the cuts the current frame out of the psd with all the icons and puts it in a new psd thats 128x128 then starts and deletes that layer)

make the icon

do about 2 a minute.

Problem being, converted icons need additional sizes added to them, which takes a little longer than 15 minutes. Read throught the front of this thread to see what I'm talking about.

i have already asked to convert and distribute heins apps before...he said i could convert them but do not distribute them...the tutorial by marvilla is very easy to understand and use...the only problems i have had is trying to make the icon out of PSD formats for the different sizes in articons pro v3.2.

P.S. THANKS JESSE :)

Perfect...thank you joao for the conversion, and Jesse Welch for creating them and giving permission to have them ported and shared! :D

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each.
