No problem! Actually, I am rather impressed at the amount of effort going into re-creating the icons. It's interesting to watch people recreate them using entirely different toolsets. I'm happy that people like them enough to go to the trouble. I don't mind mentioning that I was one nervous guy when it came time for Xp to debut. I figured if people hated the icons, I'd never hear the end of it...

As far as the legality of all this goes, I really don't know. It's all copyrighted, certainly, but it's not my copyright to protect. We were hired, and MS owns the rights.

As far as World Of Aqua goes, they take me quite a long time to do. More than ever, now that I am refining my technique. If it makes you feel better, the WOA3 folder took me almost four months to do, with a whole lot of going back and starting over! I'm still not sure I like it! It just always bugged me that Apple's OS X folder icon throws all the HI guidelines right out the window... I'm constantly trying to come up with a good one that adheres to the rules.

I'm making the final icons for WOA4 as I write this, so you don't have long to wait. The set is not large, however there is some pretty maniacal stuff in there, so I think folks will enjoy it...

Thanks for the Holiday wishes, and the same to you and yours!

Hey nice to meet u, its exciting to me meeting developers in the windows team...

it got me when u said ur were nervous once xp coming to be debut, but hell i loved ur work since the first time i saw it in the whistler builds it was sooo user friendly .... i failed grade 10 because ur icons lol!!!.. no joke , i downloaded those icons ppl extracted, and just replaced my whole windows ME to those icons spent days hacking every file and didnt bother studying for exams haha... yeah.. but is it ok asking a question... are there auditers, who audit ur icons...

why did some icons get scraped, for example the recycle bin got changed

some of the explorer icons got changes, like the search icon, the up directory icon, etc...

i mean ethically do u have to design icons with a full intentional meaning behind it?

Thanks!

Here's a few I found in my travels. Keep in mind they're not mine, so if anyone wants them removed, say so. I make no claim to be the creator of these icons. These PNGs have been acquired from various sources, and are all believed to be in the public domain for personal use only. A screenshot is below, click on it to download the package.

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      By Neeo · Posted

      I have installed the debloated version of Windows 11 25H2 Pro. I obtained the apps from store.rg-adguard.net. The size of the Photos app window is quite problematic for me; it consistently displays in a 16:9 aspect ratio, resembling a movie theatre screen, and cant remeber its last size and position. The Snipping Tool cannot capture the taskbar. When I select "Window" in capture mode, it allows me to capture menus or individual windows, but I am unable to capture just the taskbar. This functionality was available in version 24! I am on the same version numbers (latesst).

      I'm already seeing my steam library, still swallowing the 16 Gb of RAM, then looking at the SD storage expansion and saying "what?".
