Description
NOTE: all icons and related mods from British Library can now be found here .NOTE: This is now old. Check out the 3rd edition!
British Library Unabridged.
SECOND EDITION
Containing 712 icons at a native resolution of 512×512 px.
This set is meant as sort of a catch up. It shall contain all icons from the previous primary Windows releases, plus a few more, to be released in PNG and ICO format. The ICOs have been rebuilt and now include all of the intermediary resolutions in RGBA—64×64, 96×96, &c. A few aren't actually 512, because they're status icons and stuff (generally 16×16).
The set itself will be released in the coming days. In another deviation. Or two.
(Why the gigantic preview image and lead-up? Why, because the other one is on my old account, it's out of date, and I didn't blow enough time making it, that's why!)
(The name I gave myself at the bottom reads "Samantha Wright the Blind" Well, literally it says 'right', not 'Wright,' but you get the picture.)
Also, I don't recommend clicking download unless you need to test your funky new image compression technology or something.
Maybe I should split this up into sets according to application/function... hmm... someday.
Links to various formats:
Windows (Up to and including Vista): samantha-wright.deviantart.com…
PNG (for skinning, Gnome, etc.): samantha-wright.deviantart.com…
Mac OS X (Up to and including Tiger): samantha-wright.deviantart.com…
Mac OS X (Up to and including Leopard): samantha-wright.deviantart.com…
The Leopard version should work on Tiger, but this is a) untested, b) much larger, and c) unnecessary.

I am going to be so glad to see something a little more cutting edge in the icon world. It is so cool that deviant art is supporting this. This is a little corner of the art world that has been so-so for years. Microsoft still uses the icons they started with...

Someone had to do it.
Although to be honest I'm thinking I might start a new set rather soon.

Sure! Just be aware that they're huge, and it may make your server sad to host them all!

Can I download shell32.dll these icons or do I need to install them on one hand?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
They need to be slipped in by hand (and they cover way more than shell32), but there's a set arranged for XP's shell32 here: [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yes.
All you need to do is learn how to browse dA galleries.

You'd have to give me more details, but probably!

some of those would also look marvelous for the webpage itself (if I ever get Wordpres installed.... 
i.e. the bookshelf with the + and - signs would be perfect for the Library I am planning.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
well, I'd like to use them for my steampunk RPG project *Machina-Obscura , the forum adress is [link] 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that works! Go ahead! Just leave me a mention somewhere on that thanks board of yours, and I shall be content.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sounds great!!
hmmm... I have hit download, but it just shows me the big picture....do you have these files in compressed version or should I cut them out one by one? I can do that, but it would be easier if you have them separately.

Wrong submission. Look in my gallery!

btw, would you probably be interested in doing some simple pictographs for the action cards in the game? I am looking for a long time now for an artist, and thought that maybe you can help
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe. I'm not a vector person, though. You'd have to tell me what you were after first.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
so [link] would be the right one then, right?
Gee, 512x512.... I shall have to resize them for use in my forum, if that is no problem
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They were designed for Mac OS X Leopard, which uses that as its native resolution. It's certainly no problem!

hey, these are fantastic! fit really well with a steampunk desktop theme.
just one thing, any idea how i can install them all easily in vista?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There is no answer.
There is only death and pain.
Maybe some day I'll get some .res files that can be dropped in with Resource Hacker, but it'll still be pretty technical.

yay it's finally done! will download as soon as i have the available bandwidth to saturate, heh. thanks much.

Perhaps the longest emoticon in the history of emoting. Also possibly the hardest to use to express anything.

I have a partial Firefox 3 skin and a partial Thunderbird 2 skin. The Firefox skin doesn't contain a toolbar at the moment.
