Great I see you added some I need for but pls pls make Uinvert alternatives for these : Autodesk 3d, Office 2013 !!!
and make some Uinvert version icons for these widely used : Nvidia control panel, Winzip, Bittorent ( based on the new round purple icon).
As for the rest of those profesional programs I bothered you for Uinvert icons I would be happy to make at least the Mirillis [link] and CorelDraw [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I keep my UI/Uinvert set synced with amount and style, it will be ready soon enough. Still getting things situated on my new computer...
And I may possibly make Winzip and the new Bittorrent, not too sure yet.
And I could possibly make a Mirillis icon, we shall see.

Yup you couldnt have been more diplomatic than that 
BTW -fooling around with metro thingy- I bet you use a lot of customization so do you know a very metro theme for Google chrome ? Found a couple but they dont seem like metro to me at all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, don't really know of a good metro theme for Chrome, I've seen some but not a big fan..

Do you know Snagit...the little brother of Camtasia.The best screen capture software I think. Would be nice to add it ( and make Uinvert alternative ofc

Hi! I really like this set but, how can I use it on windows 8? (I've been more than 7 years using linux that i can't do anything in windows lol)
Thanks!

Thanks, glad you like it.
Well to change the Windows 8 tiles just download Oblytile, Google it and you should be able to find it pretty easily.

Nice work. Although I would say they would look less cluttered if you used these beta icons, look a bit more like actual metro icons.

I think these looks cleaner and edgier than the official set. .

Cant wait for this to be released so i can use on my W8
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's what these are for, go ahead and use them for whatever!

Very nice iconset (using as tiles on my W8 currently), will you finish the Office 15 icons that are on temporary misplaced (they look real nice), also will you update the Office ones? (like the Visio and Sharepoint to meet the others you made like Word and Excel)

Thanks. But I don't think I will add virtually any more icons to the next update though.. but look a bit more carefully, SEVERAL of your requested icons have been in my set for months!!

here's the process applied to the "web browsers" folder:

Its transparent so the user has to set the background colors manually (to get proper 30px icon support and the subtle gradient).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alright, lookin' good.
But why not use the bg colors as well? I know it has to do with gradient but perhaps that can be arranged with just a solid background as well or something?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the gradient is below the icon layer, so if you have a solid BG, it won't render. We can fake that however. The main issue lies in the outline rendering (windows detects whether or not the pixel behind the outline is transparent), and the 30px icons (they look pretty bad with a solid background). Since the user has to set the background manually anyways, i'm providing transparent images.
On second thought, i'm going to use your other icon set, as the current white shape detection isn't working as great as I would like.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well another idea I have for quickly making the images (flat bg concept still) but you could try my reflective icons (metro ui icons)... get the bg color and replace the reflection with that color and it actually does not look that bad, tried it myself, not too shabby. Merely a suggestion.. at least for now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the main issue is still the 30px icon rendering. anyways, we're aiming for perfection right? i might just leave a 1px background color in the lower left corner, for reference.

Alright then, shoot for that if you want, I'm not stopping you.

Do you mind if I release it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure, but provide credit if my stuff is included, even as examples.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you can try them if you want, i might run a batch operation to make it easier for people who don't have PS. You have to set a custom background color in oblytile though (it looks strange without a BG in the 30px version), and you don't get the nice gradient if the PNG isn't transparent.

the best! i'm not quite a fan of the CS6 icons, but this'll do for now...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. And I've been thinking of possibly making some icons for CS6, these were made during the CS5 versions so I'll consider an update.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
also, would you mind
1. either adjusting the positioning of the icons to fit win8
or
2. shipping only the b/w icons and color IDs
Because currently, they look terrible in terms of positioning on win8:
[link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I know they are not positioned in accordance to the Windows 8 tile standards, these were made to look good on docks and look better on the start screen that my previous version. However, I have been experimenting with them a bit to make them look better for the start screen, and it's turning out alright. But I probably will not work on it in depth for a while, I want to finish this update officially first.
But a suggestion for now would be for you to check out my Metro Uinver Dock Icon set, they are the b/w images colored with the colored background at 256x256! Perhaps you can use them to your advantage by making a 384x384 px background on PS and eyedropping my icons color into the background and hue/saturate my icons to white..
^^That will allow the icons to be 3/4 the size of the background and still keep the metro aspect while moving the icon to the uppder 3/4 part of the background to make more metro-like. That is all I can suggest at the moment...
