How to convert Mac icons to WinXP

[dotbatman]

screens

here are some screens that show the way stuffit and iconshop should look.

hmmm, they don't allow attachments here anymore...


that's not nice.

i'll pop 'em onto my webserver and hope the redirector is working

stuffit

iconshop

which icon set are you trying to convert?

link me to the icon set, maybe they're some weird format...

what can be the problem?

can you post a link to the icons? also, maybe a screenshot of what you're talking about (ie. cloudy, misty).

what are you using to resize the icons? photoshop?

cheers!

corrupt download?

i downloaded the blue set and ran them thru stuffit, iconshop loaded them no problem. i wonder if you maybe tried downloading the file again; the one you have may be corrupt.

all other icon sets loaded for you ok?

nothing loaded ok, maybe you can just send me the final copy? It would be very much appreciated Jz1397@Comcast.net if you want to

 

[dotbatman]

well...

I haven't actually converted them.

I could send you the raw .tiff's and then you could do the resizing in Photoshop or whatever.

Gimme til tomorrow.

If you would do that it would be amazing

I am also impressed by the blue style mmicons but haven't been able to convert them by now. Is there a possibility to send me the raw tiffs too? That'd be great!

Thx for replying wether it would be possible

converting them to .tiffs is the easy part.

for the resizing part, are you using photoshop?

if so, DEFINITELY record an action for the resize or else it will take you eons.

 

[Jz1397-5]

you are THE man

QUESTION! QUESTION! QUESTION!

First of all i would like to congratulate MAVIS for a job well done regarding his tutorial.....

QUESTION:

1. is there a way of changing the folder icon all at once (e.g. 10 folders all at once). coz its very hard to change icon one by one.

2. what are the dimensions of the converted icons? are all 72x72?

umm pls, no sending converted icons to each other, as this violates copyright of the author. You can share them , if you get permission form the original author.
