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!

it wants .ip, .iptheme, or .theme

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

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?

    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.

      From the incredibly asinine idea of disposable AI datacenter satellites launching into low Earth orbit to building out yet another unnecessary mobile network, this con-man will do ANYTHING to scam investor suckers and get his stock prices up. This stinks of panic to me. Good.
