Rare icon request

Published on December 28, 2005 By Phoenixheart In Community

Though I've just submited a few icons to the ObjectDock skin area, I've been a visiter and registered user of WC for a long time. One thing easy to see is, there are too many icons for the "famous" programs, like Photoshop, Winamp, WMP... As I know, a lot of people use many other programs on their PC, and they can't find their OD icons anywhere, as well as they do not know how to create one themselves (as in my case before).
So, why don't we have an "open area" for those OD users to request for their favorite programs' icons? And those who can use graphical apps can create them. It's also a chance to improve your skills isn't it

?
I'll be the first... Any one need an icon? You can send me a screenshot of the origin icon, and I'll try to make it an OD one (128, 256, in PNG or ICO...).
Not so good in graphik, so I need the help from the pro gd!

you can use Pngs in Object Dock found here https://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/
Or you can create an icon (.ico) from the png image (or any image) with icon developer which can be found here. Then just right click on the icon you want to change and browse to find your new one.

Po, I feel ashamed for my "dragon" after seeing yours

Mine is not in 3D at all, and the color painting is like child-made (though I intended to do so).
I have no scanner or drawing table... So I took the dragon from Wikipedia and "trace" it. Here is the preview:

I have zipped a 128, a 256 and the PSD file. Please let me know if I should submit it to stand beside Po's dragon

To SD: I forgot to said this. A Chinese dragon has no wing, but it can fly, and it only flies (No one ever seen a walking Chinese dragon

) In my opinion, it is better than an European one. But it doesn't go that way with the phoenix.

Awesome. I'm undone by the kindness and talent shown by both of you (and Koasati). Thank you both very very much for these.
Yes, please submit, PhoenixHeart.

Thanks PHEONIXHEART (and SD)

I know my stuff doesn't compare to you, and Po. (I claim a disadvantage though..... I honestly can't draw a stick with both hands on paper)

Has anyone had a chance to look at my request yet. MediaMan and Fusion HDTV.

Patience Grasshopper....... a few of the first requests haven't been addressed yet. I'm looking at MediaMan, but wonder if you'd rather Po, or PH do it......
