For a long time the BF2 vista icons have annoyed me alot.
Because the old BF2 icons do not support vista witch uses 256x256 px icons.

Witch meens that they look horrible. So i started a project looking for new icons, in vista format.
I've looked for weeks until today. I've found many tutorials for how to make a proper vista icon, but nearly noone worked.
So i made these. First in Photoshop then i found the best icon program. Axialis IconWorkshop.

So my result is this:

Superb in every way. You can also post these up in deviantArt, if you have an account there, and you want more exposure.

Nice
Doesnt matter anyway, whenever I right click on any icon in any explorer window, explorer stops responding and restarts.

The joys of Vista <-- fucking fails.

I use RocketDock, and that cleaned up the icons automatically for me, but nice thought.

Honestly it's not Vista, its you. Sorry to be harsh here, but if you use it correctly nothing's going to go wrong.

The joys of Tech <-- fucking noobs.

Edit: Nice job on the icons, just installed em.

So can't you put those in the dock? I thought docks use .png files as well.

This isn't Tech.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

If you would have been aware that this was BF2, you wouldn't have posted that.

this is the Battlefield 2 section,not tech. So, you arent supposed to know anything about tech when posting here.

Read haffeys post and you'll understand.

I agree, I have been running Vista flawlessly for more than a year on 2 computers, anyone who complains about it not working doesn't know how to use it, or a computer in general.

omigawd, Finafreakingly.

Because of my "TOTALLY HUGE" Rocketdock, the standard BF2 icon looks like crap, at one point I found good original icons, but after a reformat I lost them.

My "awsm: dock is restored.

I mean that everyone posting in the BF2 section is a tool.
