I got most of the apps we got sections for here on Skinbase + more :) Will save you a hell of alot of work extracting icons.... ;) <br />hehe I installed/uninstalled 300+ apps to extract icons for the new menustyle here on skinbase.... I had to reinstall Windows afterwards due to all the *coughCRAPPYcough* leftovers in the registry which slow my system down <b>alot</b>!! <br /> <br />Just gimme a shout CMS, you know the addy!! :) <br />

Not really talking about file type icons, just the programs themselves. I&acute;ll have to say, you all use some weird stuff. Keep em coming though. Just whatever programs you use on a regular basis.

Thanks keep em coming. Around 300 icons now. Just deleted and re-did about 100 for some crazy reason. They look better though, so I guess that is why. Thank goodness for Photoshop Actions .

Alice, Jedi Knight 2, Diablo, elf bowling (1 & 2), BattleZone, StarWars Racer, FF, OpenZelda, ZeldaClassic. <br /> <br />I emulate nes, snes, gameboy (regulare, color, & advanced), sega, game gear, play station, n64, atari... and I forget what else. ^.^; I also have roms assiciated with there emulators through the registry. Makes life easier. All my games go in one folder, and I can tell what&acute;s what by the small icons. <br /> <br />I have short cuts to megaman9 (and yes it&acute;s in japanese!!! =^.^=), zelda3, starwars (4,5,&6), R-type3, Gradius3, sonic (1,2,&3), and a couple others. <br /> <br />Browser is K-meleon, autocad, hmmm... can&acute;t think of other work related stuff except for M$ & Open Offices. Graphics apps too, of coarse. ACDSee viewer... which reminds me! <br /> <br />LiteStep has the 12 OTS apps. They are good ones to have. <br /> <br />You probly don&acute;t want to make icons for me though. I&acute;m alergic to white, can only take color in small dosses, and only truely enjoy black (as in #000000, but grey is ok). Would love it if you did though. I would also like to see what you could come up with for the emulators. That would be some pretty cool stuff. 8)

Cut, actually all of the generic Foundation icons will be black siloette (sp) icons like my user icon, if that trips your fancy. Otherwise, thanks for the additional program etc icon suggestions. I&acute;ll work them up.

You icon is pretty cool. 8) It could stand to be a touch darker. A little light for me, but I could stand it for a couple days off an on. LiteStep can darken then for me though. :evil hehe

You know that a script can be made to hack the icons for dial-ups, and many ohter htings too. Have you considered icons for that?

Hmmm, Ulead Cool 3D, Illustrator, Corel Draw, QuickBooks Pro... I also use an Embroidery digitizing app for my business, but the number of different embroidery file types are too many for me to remember all of them (probably 20-30 file types).

Not sure about the limit. my personal set has over 100... but that is mostly my custom file types. I suppose if you made a xp and 9x compatible theme with all the file types, that would put it around 150 or 200.

Hmmm, you call it fun?? lol Well, yea, I suppose it is at times. :) Ok, I use AOL (yuck), Photoshop, Office XP, Trillian, Dungeon Siege... Oh, and thanks, Chadamus. You&acute;ve been doing great work as well. <br /> <br />BTW, anyone know what kind of icon limit is in IconPackager?? How many icons can it handle in a single package?

128X128?! o_O damn..... I normally doesn&acute;t go over 48X48. I hate it if the icons take too much screenspace, but I guess the 128s are good for the new ObjectDock thingy!!!

Thanks Snow. As for using extracted icons.... I&acute;m going to try and avoid it. I&acute;ll be making sizes up to 128x128. Hard to use extracts for those. I appreciate the links though! Great idea. Very helpful.
