I think it would be SO awesome if Icons By Bert came up with some icon sets for AppIcon that we could use to 'fancy up' our Clies. They're currently making Icons/skins for SilverScreen & Megalauncher . . . I emailed them the suggestion . . . and got a VERY fast response. See below.

First let me tell you that we are always open to new projects :-)
... We will consider this input and as soon as we finished working on
the MegaLauncher SkinPack Deluxe Update, DateBK5 IconSet Deluxe (HiRes
Version) we will be looking into this project ...

it can be some weeks since we are very tight up with the WebDesign
Department ...

have a great day

take care

So what do you think? Would you buy them if they were available?? (I WOULD!!!)

What icons would you like to see? I suggested icons like TV, Remote, multiple book icons (for those of us with more than one e-book reader), Map icon . . .

sweet. Designs by Bert always make beautiful icons and skins.

I could go on forever about icons to make but here are a few quick ideas for some icons (looking at my favorite icons compilation in Icon Manager):

Vehicles
Computer, Internet, PDA, Electronics
Flags
Sports Teams and Equipment
Office Supplies
Abstract Designs

Can you guys edit icons with AppIcon? I have been messing around with it and it lets me swap icons but whenever I hit edit it causes a soft reset. Is this the only icon editor that works with the NX? I have tried a few others but with little success. I used to use Rsrcedit but that doesn't work with my NX..I wish there was a replacement....

thanks

Ganz,

AppIcon still doesn't have the capability to edit hi-res icons. I've e-mailed the developer a couple of times with no response.

Argh, so it's the hi-res icons. Dang.

Is it me, or does AppIcon also not change the "built-in" application icons either? (Date Book, calculator, Memo Pad, etc.) I don't crash when I change those, but they don't change either. Am I missing something?

I launch almost everything using PopUp Favorites. My default ZLauncher "view" is Unfiled with no icons showing. Otherwise, I keep them small and 4 across.

You can download the demo of (or buy the complete set of) designsbybert's (or motododo's) silverscreen or ML icons, and then just import them into a new (or existing) set in appicon. I do it all the time. It's an easy way to use those icons for your apps.
