The Apogee Icon Suite!

IT'S HERE! IT'S UPDATED! IT'S INCREDIBLE!

from WinCustomize Forums

Famed icon artist Paul Boyer (Mormegil) has completed his latest icon masterpiece. And holy cow is the final version incredible!

The Apogee premium icon suite includes over 200 unique icons in 15 different color variations.  Each icon supports every major (and minor) icon size from 16x16 all the way up to 256x256. 

The attention to detail on each icon is beyond compare.  With native support for the new Windows Vista icon format, Apogee will not only work great on your Windows XP system today but it'll be ready for Windows Vista as well.  Each icon has also been designed so that it looks good at different resolutions. At 256x256, the icons are good enough to be used as clip-art (for private use) and yet still are recognizable and crisp at 16x16.

The Apogee suite is only $9.95 for new users. Object Desktop users can get it for $8.95.  Considering the sheer amount of content you get, this is probably the best skinning/theme/icon deal that's ever been released.

As good as the screenshot looks, they're even better once applied to your system.

Paul mp3 on my laptop comes up with .inf icon instead of mp3 icon and on my desktop mp3 comes up with .raw icon.

Goodvibes, I will look into this, It seams to be working here, it might have something to do with what program you have assocated with MP3. Just to be safe please make sure you have the latest version of IconPackager. Please email me if it continues to happen.

Thanks Paul i have the latest iconpackage 3.1 and i had my mp3 associated with winamp. My winamp is the latest 5.21 so i swapped the mp3 association over to windows media player and all is working perfectly now. Must be some conflict with winamp that was causing the mp3 icon to not load correctly.
Thanks again Paul your help was greatly appreciated.

When I view my Favorites, all of the Internet Shorcuts are using the Apogee .AIF icon. I've tried everything and the only way i can get them to change is by doing each file (shortcut) individually or by assigning the wrong icon to the .AIF file type. Any ideas?

I think that's Iconpackager...

I have had that problem in the past. But if I load the base pack, it seams to solve it. It is a glitch with IP, I am pritty sure they know about it.

I am also having the same problem with the icons in my control panel not changing either and I do have the latest version of IP.

Control panel icons not loading is a fault in iconpackager and not apogee as it is the same with all iconpackages that include control panel icons.


Paul are you still going to release those extra packs you mentioned earlier in the year in miscellaneous icons.

There are a few other settings which can and do cause this to happen. Such as explorer assc. to given types and such. One would not think this was possible to change the control panel. But I've found the problem not to be either IP or any thing to do with Stardock programs.
All my Apogee icons work for the control panel and for the rest of all the areas which are included in the set.
But if I could only get that printer icon in the printers and faxes to show. Thats a dll or ini in the system folder I'm looking into rewriting soon.[maybe]

I really find there are problems only when my regs are off or a improper load occurrs due to a missed or fragmented system file.
Running clean everything works well and the icon cache is always intact.

A good cure would to be to find a good cache rebuilder - I really do not like the one in IP. [Don't get me wrong it works...]
But I rather use another type of rebuilder. Which I do and find it does much better at restoring things for me.

Best of luck there guys - but as I see it - it is not IP or the Apogee icons that are in the wrong here - it is only a small problem with the system configuration that each of us use's.
Something to explore and get into shape!

had to remove 'Control Panel' from customizing in IP because I was getting an error msg stating "due to a bad image IPICL unable to load in control panel" causing problems with loading other apps on boot in the system tray & running the CPU & RAM higher due to apps either not able to load or in 'holding pattern' due to corrupted loading - having removed the customization of the Control Panel everything is back to normal & boot up & loading is smooth once again - thought the updates, 3 by my last count since Christmas, would have cleared this up but it appears XP doesn't like to be 'messed with' too much, especially anything Sys32 icons oriented

Yes, I will be relseing a Bonus pack this week. Just need to tie up some lose ends. I will also talk to brian about the wierdness with Control Panel Icons, but at this point I dont think I can help. They are working on all the sytems I am testing on.

Mormegil, I am absolutely blown away! This is by far the best Icon Package I've had the pleasure to behold! No doubt this involved a tremendous amount of work on your part - I want you to know it is well appreciated! Great Job!!!

What version is this? I dont see a version number at all anywhere showing me this is a brand new one and what exactly is new about this compared to 3.1?
Also this is the most elite icon package ever made this is the shiznit.


Thanks

This is 1.01 of apogee, it requires Iconpackaer 3.1 to work properly.
