@Lucas North Hey man! I've seen your work, and I'm honestly impressed! Could you by any chance create more colors of the original folder icon? (For instance: red, blue, green, white, black, pink etc etc)

 

[johnlgalt]

Currently working on new shape of folders with contents, 512 x 512 px.
Any constructive suggestions or criticisms shoot them my way and I will take them onboard.

That looks a heck of a lot like velour. If you could truly emulate velour in an icon, that would be sweet!

You're on a roll, man, where's your donation / Patreon links at?

 

[CyPhoenix]

@CyPhoenix Here you buddy, hope this are ok for you.

Tysm man! Appreciate your volunteering

 

[johnlgalt]

Nah. I've actually got cheap tastes lol. But yeah, Velour is a nice feeling fabric - even if I can rarely ever wear it, being as hot-natured as I am.

But I also like showing appreciation to someone who puts in time and effort to develop some very nice digital content, too. So, in that respect I'm not cheap ;p

OK, try this:

Thank you so much that worked a treat, I'm dead chuffed

Wow! @Lucas North you have been absolutely killing it lately. I especially love your colored folder collection!

 

[johnlgalt]

More nonsense I've been working with, experimenting with textures and lighting effects
which are of course totally useless at 16x16 icons but they look pretty good at full size.

Agreed!

In addition - that rusted folder is absolutely bad derriere! Seriously bro!

Killing it!

 

[johnlgalt]

That rusted folder opens up all *sorts* of ideas for folder icons. I'd use that folder *IN A HEARTBEAT* for my Old Downloads folder that has programs and.reg files that I've downloaded over the last couple of decades or so that I cannot find anywhere else anymore.

Is this the rusted folder ?

I'm assuming you've had a heavy workload of late David, I tried to hold the fort in your absence.

 

[johnlgalt]

Tried? I'd say you did quite well

Do, or do not. There is no try.

Yoda himself would be proud!

 

[Zardoc]

Lucas, are you going to link the rusted folder?

 

[johnlgalt]

Lucas, are you going to link the rusted folder?

@Zardoc, I just noticed that you've been supplying icons, as well - welcome to the icon party!

@Lucas North - Please????

 

[Zardoc]

@johnlgalt I'm an icon freak. I love changing everything . I know Bunny and Edwin and a few others love theme changes which I also enjoy

 

[johnlgalt]

Indeed. But I saw you sharing your own icons, that's what I meant

I use Directory Opus, and it has the functionality to detect what file type you are viewing and display an image accordingly. The images I have been using are a collection from the Windows Vista era. They are called Vista Corner. I would really like to update them.

Directory Opus uses the term "Backdrops", but they are essentially an icon, but in PNG format.
In the image below, Direcory Opus has detected I am viewing an image file type folder, and it is displaying L Profile Pictures.png in the bottom right corner of the screen. As you can see, the sizes vary around about 200px x 200px +.



I would need eight different file types.
These are the image files Directory Opus is currently using for the various file types. Image files are attached below.

Archives > L Folder Zip.png
Documents > L Profile Documents.png
Images > L Profile Pictures.png
Music > L Profile Music.png
Programs > L Installer.png
System > L File System.png
Text > L File Text.png
Videos > L Profile Videos.png

If someone has some to offer, I would really appreciate it.

 

[The-Hive]

My pleasure.

Your Icons are the best, I know it's a cheek but any chance of Pill, Keys, Winamp 1,padlock(4) and padlock 005, If not no problem, as I really aprreciate what you sent me

 

[Zardoc]

Nice job Lucas. My eyesight isn't what it used to be so if I'm going to have writing on the folders, I need to see it well. I view my icons in large mode. I'm not sure I could easily read the rusted writing as well as the other folders I used from you.
