Hey, maybe you should give credit to the original autor, this is based on the blob template by Martin and shaheertarar from Macthemes.

I duno what the Blob Template you are on about?? I saw a set of icons called the kobhens which used a different Helevtica Font and was like this.

I basically like the kobhens but wanted the Regular Helvetica Font not the Neue, so I just did all the icons I needed from scratch and thought some people might want them....

So I think I gave all the credit needed in the dA description.

ok so I guess he is the wrong person to do requests eh

BTW, did you get permission to pack the icons together?

Permission? Why would I need permission from some one? I just took their idea and modified it to my needs, but I didnt use a template or anything I made my icons from scratch in Photoshop.

Like I have said, if you go to the link and download them the you will see I mention The Kobhens icon set which I originally saw.

As for the requests, I included a template.psd file so people can make their own if needed and a little guide in the Read Me file to do so :)

you still used Martin,shaheertarar ideas so should give some type of credit to theme

Any links? because how can I mention someone when I have never seen their work? As seriously I am only aware of what I saw which was the Kobhens Icon set which I DID mention in my Deviant Art description.

Maybe its a misuderstanding or a coincidence, but you must agree that the resemblance in composition and fonts its odd.

First time I have seen that, but his has blobs around like the name of the font states.

The font set i saw was The Kobhens - http://www.robertourso.com/?p=60

Done in Helvetica Nueue and only came with very few.

Mine are pretty much the same, just Helvetica Regular and comes with 60+ icons.

Fair enough, not really trying to accuse you of anything, I just found the coincidence odd :)

hehe I should have checked before your post. I just did a Aperture, Nikon Capture NX2 and Adium icon

For some reasons, the iCal one doesn't want to change and stays with the default icon. Is there anything special I have to do with that one? I tried loading the custom icons man times, restarting dock and restarting leopard a couple of times without success :/

Any ideas?

Pink Floyd, I found this on a Mac Forum:

I replaced the App-empty.icns file inside the resource folder of the iCal package with a custom icon (iCal/Contents/Resources/App-empty.icns), which was fine as long as the program was running. When iCal was quit, it reverted to the standard icon with current date.

There is another App-empty.icns file inside the iCalDockExtra.bundle package in another resource folder (iCal/Contents/Resources/iCalDockExtra.bundle/Contents/Resources/App-empty.icns). After I replaced that file as well, iCal remains customized at all times.

Thanks for this :p inspired me to make my own, using your font idea and the bubble one mentioned above:

post-83215-1219833146_thumb.png

Nice idea, might I do a suggestion?

I made these. I think that white works well with almost every app, I just do variations to the ones I use the most.

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
