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?

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
