Ok just one more thing is there a way to stop windows in changing the icons to the default once i restart my Pc? coz thats what happens and i need to change them back again.

It changes My Computer, My Network Places, My Documents, Recycle Bin all the windows default icons.

I am missing something?

Running windows XP, Pro

Thanks

BTW who ever made these icons, you rock!!!! Excellent work. I hope to see a factions set , with the assasin and ritualist. That will be cool.

Im having trouble.

I can download the .exe and everything, but i cant install it. It always brings up an Icon Library Installation tab on my bar that wont bring anything up.

Basically, i can't get it to install.

That's great. They're all over my desktop. I've been trying to make some icons but photoshop is being evil about saving with a transparent background...

EDIT: What program was used to turn these into .ico files? I'm using a plugin for Photoshop, made an Assassin one myself but it's a bit less smooth looking than these.

You can change My Computer, Recycling bin and stuff under your Properties when you right click on the desktop. I remember that somewhere. My friend did it and turned the recycle bin into a cat litter box. If ya need help finding out where to do it at, just PM me.

Rawr! My First post in....months!

I be back, to a degree. Noticing the requests for elite skills, I think i'll take up this project again. Sadly at one point my computer had imploded, and I lost my base files for all of this, so it means I'd have to start over from scratch.

BUT, with Factions just around the corner, I'd need to do sets for the Ritualist and Assassin anyways, so perhaps a slightly different variation on it all is needed to celebrates Factions Release? :P

Make your requests now for what skills you want to see, Ideas, Suggestions, etc etc. I'll try to encorperate as much of what you guys would like to see as I can.

Maybe I can bug Gaile to get some of the games resources so I can make better quality icons. :P

Edit: I fired off a Private Mesage to Gaile, to see about getting my hands on the missing skill icons, as well as the ones for the Ritualist and Assassin. If any of you out there know a way I can get some good high quality images of them, let me know!

i figure theres 3 ways of getting them:
1: ask gaile, recommended
2: take screenshots, not recommended
3: have a lookie in gw.dat, i dont think its allowed.

if you manage 2 get a hold of them, i wouldnt mind the art set for my own reference.

2. Screenshots wont offer the same level of quality that the first batch had, and if I'm redoing these, I want them to be as good, or better.
3. I've considered that, and looked into it a bit. the .dat file however....is messy, and not easilly broken apart or explored. At least, not by any means I've found yet.

Is it possible for anyone to create a new icon that looks like the default one, only without the nasty white dots surrounding it?

This is what my icon looks like right now in Windows XP and it's really ugly to be honest. Looks great on a light background, but horrible on a dark background.

You know, I did up a special GW.exe icon to match the other sets I did, but I only sent it to a couple of friends. Since my computer died, I lost it, but I could try bothering them again.

Anyone able to tell me how to make system-wide changes? I want to change every folder icon at once if possible (rather than having to right-click and change icon each time).

My... God! These things are amazing!

I feel guilty for reviving and restating this, but these are prehominal works of art - it's just beautiful.

You are my new Messiah - tell me if you like gold encrusted temples or diamond-accented - I'll see what I can do...

Truly, this is a work of pure genius.

I don't have any icons on my desktop. I only have them on start bar thingy.



Its better like that because it keeps your desktop nice and neat and no icons cluttering the thing.

But I love your idea! I can't wait.

Really nice... I wish I could make something like this!

Now all you need is the main npc's (like shiro), assassin skills, ritualist skills, and elites.

Hurra! They've added the new classes Icons to the GW Website!

I'm gonna spend time in the coming days remaking the entire icon sets with the updated skills, and classes.

Look for new stuff soon!
