at-a-glance mini-icon customs (for those 'too generic' minis)

Hi everyone,

I have created a pet that will replace most of the standard mini-icons with newer, better looking ones. Most of them I got from Puplite 4.0 which I found to be very nice (thanks ScOttman). Others are from icons gathered on the internet. Some have been modified by me. Give em a try; the pet is tiny.

enjoy! Wink

Thanks Tman as these mini-icons are truly terrific!! We've needed some great-looking mini-icons like these for quite some time now to dress up the "extended menus". These really do fit the bill in this case!

Now I have several installs I'd like to go and upgrade before going offline this evening. Wink

Take care!

I was thinking how small of a file size could I make a clipboard icon ?
well the latest tango is 1808 bytes for a 48x48 and the smallest I made a 48x48 was 248 bytes, the tango one is 720% larger in file size, here's a series of clipboard icons I made from scratch, remember do what ever you want with them, they are 100% free to use Smile

Here's some sd cards I made, the smallest is 248bytes Smile

they rang from sd1-sd6, sd1 was the first and then I added/altered it as the numbers increase.
once again your free to do anything with them Smile

I've worked out how to make black rimmed icons which match the "Smooth-Color" type on lupu 525, below is a Firefox one, (I will have a go at others)

Will someone please give me the full paths for the ROX "rescan directory contents" and "change to home directory" icons. The two I am most interested in are used in SlackO533F and 3headedDog plus several other puppies and are not located in the standard midi-icons or pixmaps folders. However just having the full path for where these icons are generally located should help.

I have used pfind with every *.png, *.rpm combo I can think might work and have viewed hundreds of icons but not these two exact icons. Thanks ... KJ

hi KJ

umm, nope - if I'm guessing right those are probably gtk icons off the dev shelf (like the nice little hdd with a splash of green and gold that pmount uses). Somehow I stumbled upon these here on this page - made my day since I've been looking for the 'proper' pmount icon for what seems like forever and there

was all this time.. Now some icons are privately held and you need permission or an acknowledgement to use them, but I'd imagine these come under a more lenient license (non-profit and so on). It's kind of like fonts in that respect.

Sometimes wandering off the path leads to another Cool

'f00 .... Thanks .... I thought that the icons I wanted to find were part of a GTK set .... just can not find their location in Puppy. Your link leads to the set I wanted. Thanks again for the info and link.... KJ
