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!

That was quick. Thanks Bandit4edu. I was just thinking of the logo, I hadn't thought about having fighters on the icon. Now you have me thinking of asking for icons with my favorite fighters. I can't be greedy though.

how do u convert photoshop files to png's?

I have Photoshop, but I am unfamiliar with the free version. If the free one won't save it in png, you would probably need another graphics program... one that can read and convert photoshop files.

A free and from what I hear, very good graphics program is Paint.Net>> [link="http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/"]http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/">Link

Jaramia, it actually looks quite good for someone new to Photoshop.

With png's, remember to deactivate the background when you save it in png to get the 'transparent' background.

Try this site for tutorials. It's loaded with some great tut's and links to other sites. with everything from stuff for beginners to novices. http://www.good-tutorials.com/

..sorry about image

No sweat. A lot of us are having problems posting images in the forums since WC reformatted them.

icon is just the sphere...the silver block around the outside is simply window dressing for the forum post and preview image in the gallery
