since i took some time to create some icons for iconless apps and games, i thought it wouldn't hurt to share them out.
i hosted them here
http://orrinw.007ihost.com/
most are completely original, drawn in photoshop.
there were a few existing homebrew icons which I modified to suit my taste better;
-DS2Win: had 2 odd transparent pixels in the middle, which i don't believe were intentional. also moved one pixel down.
-DSLinux: whitish surrounding pixels didn't look very good on darker backgrounds
-Colors: same whitish surrounding pixels, and also general minor modifications.
also a couple used images from google search, haven't really provided credit there...
generally magenta or green is what i used to indicate the transparent pixels, but in a few cases white or black -_- whoopsies for not being consistent.
lov'em or hat'em, i'm using them.

sure, anyone can add them to their projects if they like.
of course, chances are many will not be liked as well ^_^
i can't remember if i've tested all of them, but if there's any where i buggered up the transparency, just tell me and i'll fix it up (although i'll probably notice it in the next few days)
I used romer http://nswgaming.com/kyuzumaki/ to unofficially add the icons into files, but i'm pretty sure they should work the the same when added for compiling.

Can you make an icon for Hexen? The palette always got messed when I tried converting images ages ago. I tried saving with as few colours as possible and adding the icon with ndstool but it never turned out right.

I'll give it a try later tonight. I don't know much about hexen, so i'll need to have a look at what kind of logo it has.
Edit: Should I do just the 'X' or the whole word 'hexen' ?
Should i do the X Red or White (is the red one the shareware version logo?)
#146973 - Sektor - Wed Dec 12, 2007 10:41 am
I prefer the whole word but if you can't fit then the a red X will do. There's a Hexen icon in this image (the guy in the cloak). That was the one I tried to use but the colours always got messed up. Here's the icon on it's own.

i changed it to a 16 colour gif so that romer accepts it, applied it and it worked fine. no colour distortion.
http://orrinw.007ihost.com/icons/hexenicon.gif
If you prefer i can still do the Hexen word Icon (i half finished one)
... if ndstool doesnt take gifs (haven't used it much so i don't know), apply it with romer.
Does Doom have an icon? If not should i clean up the one in the jpeg you linked?
What about scummVM and that lucas arts icon.
edit: oh hahaha, scumm already has an icon, but i checked after i'd already fixed up that lucas arts one. Oh well, i'll upload it anyway.
edit 2: ok this time i checked that doom has an icon first (it does) so thats all shweet.
edit: ok.

Thanks for that.
ndstool only works with .bmp files but it changes the black to transparent when I try applying the .gif converted to .bmp. If I use romer, it works fine with the same .bmp file. I'm only using ndstool since it's used in the compile process anyway but I guess I'll add romer to my makefile.

any hosting will do. its only gif icons, not like they will take up large amounts of bandwidth ;p
i'll have a look around, but if nothing works out the elp would be appreciated.

I have started to make custom boxart for anybody interested. The only one thats good is for QuakeDS which I have here.
I use the boxarts for folder.jpg if anybody wants to know why I would even do this.
#148480 - OSW - Sun Jan 06, 2008 8:02 am

#148626 - Creebo - Tue Jan 08, 2008 12:45 am
