the white drew carey Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 (edited) UPDATED INFORMATION!!! SCROLL DOWN!!! UNTIL YOU SEE "STOP!!!" I've been fiddling around with making icons for Mac OS-X and here's the fruit of my labors thus far. For anyone who would like to partake in these, just PM me with an e-mail address to send them to. I'll send them out in groups of 5-6 to keep the e-mails relatively small. You might also need an Icon program to view them, but I'm actually computer illiterate, so I'm not sure. Oh yeah, they look much better when they're on your dock. Trust me. Anyhow... here's the first batch: Edited September 10, 2003 by the white drew carey Quote
the white drew carey Posted August 25, 2003 Author Posted August 25, 2003 Oh yes, more will be available as I make them. I'm looking for more useable images, but I'm also working on a Totoro icon set and some Hello Kitty and PowerPuff Girls sets for my wife. I'll keep everyone updated. Quote
the white drew carey Posted August 25, 2003 Author Posted August 25, 2003 Here's a few more, including the elusive VF-4 and VF-X-4... collect them all!!! One thing I noticed is that they come off a little darker and blurry here than they actually look on the dock. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 cool. They look good. Let me know when you get the Macross and Totoro icons done. Quote
lebhead Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 albino drew, can you send me all your Macross ones? er... i mean... all your Macross icons are belong to me? Quote
the white drew carey Posted August 26, 2003 Author Posted August 26, 2003 No prob. I'll send all of the ones I have so far, which are pretty much all you've seen except for a Kakazaki portrait which I forgot to put up... Poor Kakazaki. Quote
Captain of the SDF-1 Macross Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 All these pretty Mac OS-X icons make me wan't to buy an Apple iBook. However, I have to earn some cash for me to buy one. Quote
the white drew carey Posted August 26, 2003 Author Posted August 26, 2003 What are you running? If it's Windows XP, there are instructions HERE on how to use these icons on your PC. I'm not sure how compatable these instructions are with other Windows OS, though. Quote

I'm not sure how compatable these instructions are with other Windows OS, though. I use Win 2000 on my PC. I will never move to XP due to the obvious flaws in that OS and I had a bad experience using it, so I don't bother. Besides, the PowerBooks and iBooks are built like refined Swiss timepieces with comparable specs and price points. From my previous experience with PC laptops, I find that more than half are lemons. One of these days I would get a PowerMac for video editing because Premiere performs better and Final Cut can only be runned on that computer. My previous experience with a PC for video editing led me into frustration when I get bad results with it. To vent my rage, I kicked the PC and punched the moniter because of it. I got swollen knuckles on my fists and putted dents into the PC casing after that. Quote
Smut Peddler Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 I've got XP, can you send me your icons? They look great. Quote
yellowlightman Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Those icons look awesome. I PM'ed you my email address. How'd you make them, any special programs? Quote

I got swollen knuckles on my fists and putted dents into the PC casing after that. I'm curious, in what way is XP obviously flawed? Once some of the initial problems are worked out (i.e. making it act like a normal OS, not th enewbie OS), XP can be just like 2K, except noticeably more stable. Oh, BTW, premire won't be running better on mac anymore. Adobe announced that they're not going to make a Mac version anymore! As for the icons, they are really ince. Have you considered doing any Zero ones? I'd use those. Hell, i'd use these if I weren't using a Zero-based pair of wallpapers. Edited August 28, 2003 by Commander McBride Quote

Gotta catch 'em all. Nice work dude, if I had a Mac I'd so use these... Heck I don't even know what they're for! Yay! Quote
yellowlightman Posted September 4, 2003 Posted September 4, 2003 White Drew, did you ever get a chance to send these out? Just curious because I havent received any yet, unless I accidently deleted them. Thanks! Quote
eming Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 Hi White Drew, I'm interested in getting those on my Mac. Could you send me the Macross and Totoro icons and any of your other fab works. They're really cool. Quote
combined arms Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 Very cool. My dock needs some Macross love. PM on its way. Neil Quote
the white drew carey Posted September 9, 2003 Author Posted September 9, 2003 Yellowlightman- I forgot Eming- Please PM me your e-mail address. Combined Arms- Kick ass avatar. My favorite plane in the whole wide world. I'm currently trying to fix up several icons. For some reason, when they are not used in the dock specifically, the background is black instead of clear. Let me see if I can fix them and then I'll e-mail them off to you. Quote
the white drew carey Posted September 10, 2003 Author Posted September 10, 2003 (edited) STOP!!! IF YOU WANT ICONS SENT TO YOU: Pick which sets you want from the list below and PM me your e-mail address with the set numbers. IF I'VE SENT ICONS TO YOU: I've fixed the problem where several icons have black boxes around them when not being used in the dock. PM me if you'd like the updated icon files. Edited September 10, 2003 by the white drew carey Quote
the white drew carey Posted September 10, 2003 Author Posted September 10, 2003 NEW ICON SETS!!! PM me if you'd like these sent to you as well. Quote
