[WIP] Folder Icons

[UmarIrshad]

Working on a new icon, folder icon. Basicly wanted the cheesy look, but will also be working on more colours like aluminium and more.

Please suggest me for improvements, changes and/or additions.

Hope you guys like it

Nice one how do u implement this on windows 7 ? i can make icons as well but want to know which software do u use to work with windows

You have to convert it into ico first. Then all you need to do is right click any folder, hit "customize" tab and change icon. But you will have to do it manually for all, there used to be an app to automatically changing all folder icons, but can't seem to find it anywhere any longer as I don't remember it's name.

Well, if it's for Win Vista / 7 then you can work on 256x256 px... but incase of Mac OS, then I believe you should work on 512x512 px.

No you will have to convert png into ico using Axialis IconWorkshop or anyother you feel comfortable with. Changing the extension won't work at all.

Hassan bhai it's actually Bowtie logo, an app for Mac OS. I am glad you like it
