Productive Desktop Project – Part 2: Icons & Cursors

October 14, 2008 : Permalink :

Filetype Icons: Vista Ultimate Iconpackage Vs2¹. There are 185 icons in the package, so I’m just displaying a few of the icons I used. (download from source).

Note: since I don’t have Iconpackager (shareware), I downloaded a 30-day trial of IconWorkshop and extracted the icons to be used as .ico files. Then, I use IPhile to apply those icons to my system. (do a google search to find a valid download link)

Cursors: I modified & mixed a number of Cursors to make my set (download).

Here’s a breakdown of where I got the cursors from:

• Graphite (Normal, Alternative) – I shifted the angle
• Obsidian (Handwriting, Unavailable, Move, Resize pointers)
• Comix (Precision Selector, Text Selector)
• Aero (Busy, Working in Background) – I used my modified Graphite Normal cursor and added a modified Aero busy icon which I shaded orange.
• TN (Link)
