Comments and requests for new icons are welcome, maybe there'll be updates!
great pack dude i was astonished cause it is the first ip i saw with an own ico for the ip(theme) itself. im on vista and in combination with your albook sepia ico files i found every icon what's missing in the ip. all the albook series rules, must have been a lot of work. respect. neil
Hi Neil, and thanks a lot for such a comment! Yeah, it's been a lot of work, but it was really enjoyable. In fact, everything started from Laurent Baumann's albook icon set for mac. That was the unique thing on my desk that I enjoyed at 100%. So, I started to make other icons for my own needs, then came the idea of making a vista theme around them, then skins came too... A Pakistanese friend made a "wooden" theme and I thought that a sepia version of the icons would greatly match his work, so I released a Sepia pack! I had to make something really complete, and many people asked for more icons, so, I answered to requests in order to respond to everybody's needs. This site is marvelous for sharing! Gosh, I love your "webcam" lol (sorry for my approximative English, but it's 6am and I'm about to go to work!)
I agree with you, but this one was not the main project, just a port of the original one! In fact, one of my friend, Zaif06 ([link]) has concepted a nice VS for windows vista, named Innocence ([link]). When I beta-tested it, the idea of making sepia colored icons for being accorded to his work grown into my head . When I'll have more time, I'll add new icons to the icon sets I'm regularly updating. I'm also trying to avoid aliasing on them, bit it's hard when you're just starting to learn how to work on pictures and icons! Anyways, thank you for your support and saying what you really think
Yeah, on some icons, desperately yes. I particularly have a problem with circles. Although, if you don't have a too big screen, it's ok in 128x128. I'll try to improve some of them in a next release. Thx for having been sincere
