Classic Shell: Forum

I thought this thread could be for posting any of your Icon Files.. Just to share Icons you are using

Any .PNG with Alpha Transparency will work

maybe Ivo could pull the best of them for use with Classic Explorer buttons on the next build

Anyone who has created custom Icons for any of the standard or custom buttons can post them here

They should be your own design, or licensed for free distribution inside other programs

Icons would preferably be 48 x 48 or 64 x 64 .ico files, but any square PNG file with transparency would be easy for someone to convert

If you want help converting an image to an Icon, just let me know, there is How-To Tutorial on custom icons found here::

So far, the built-in Buttons that seem to be lacking a dedicated icon are:

• Move To
• Copy To
• Undo
• Redo
• Select All
• Deselect
• Invert Selection
• Back
• Forward
• Map Network Drive
• Disconnect Network Drive
• Customize Folder
• View Tiles
• View Details
• View List
• View Content
• View Small Icons
• View Medium Icons
• View Large Icons
• View Extra Large Icons
• Open
• Sort By
• Group By

and the one that needs to be changed:

• Paste Shortcut (so it looks different from the regular Paste one)

asfar as actually adding them to classic shell, that may get tricky unless the actual artist is posting them, they cant be sure if there legal to use...
but as far as a repository here for those icons, sounds good, and if it gets big enough they might add a forum catagory for it

Here is one for the "Paste Shortcut" button

Just made to look like the Shell32 Clipboard Paste Icon, with the added Shortcut Icon..

this is a 256 x 256 PNG

Here is the icon set I use if it's useful: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ozkb9av08hnol5n/Icons.zip Extracted from Microsoft's DLLs, some custom made.
