Windows Vista Beta 1 Icons (the REAL THING)


Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

I released this on AeroXP AGES ago. It seems some people are still looking for them, though. SO, here they are, the AeroXP exclusive Vista Beta 1 PNG icons.

Those people who just copy the shell32.dll icons (which are old, by the way. Check the icons you SEE in vista and the icons in shell32... they're way old) can now be quiet. I've also made an IconPackager theme for them (so you can actually have 256x256 icons without a loss in quality!). The control panel icon is strangely enough only updated in ONE PART of vista B1.... but that part looks like a slip, so this is what MS are going to go for (though eventually we hope in XAML).

Here they are...

Vista PNGs in 256x256

Vista IconPackage

Of course, you can use AveIconifier to convert the PNGs to ICOs. If you use this in any tranformation pack or any of these resources in anything, please credit them to: Blackice@AeroXP

Other than that, have fun!

the iconpackager version does not work for me....

it wants .ip, .iptheme, or .theme

your doesn't have those....

i tried both files included in your (.iconpackager & .icl) and neither of them worked...

i then tried changing the extensions....still did not work....

they're the REAL ones from vista Beta 1. Don't tell me you've never seen them (well, some of them you prolly haven't, such as the new control panel icon...etc), in full 256x256 glory :)

oh, and just doubleclick the .iconpackager file and it should load. Does for me using latest version :shrug:

Iconpackager doesn't recognize them.

you need iconpackager 3.0 for this to work. Notice the file format is different (.iconpackager rather than .iptheme). That is why it will not work with anything less than version 3.0.

Could someone convert them into *.ico format or create an installer that is not going to have to require me to use a star dock program..... maybe something that will patch the files n replce em with these?
