FauxS-XP File Type Icon Requests?

from WinCustomize Forums
I am finishing up FauxS-XP IconPackager sets and am putting together a set of extra Icons to go with them, I was wondering what File types (*.bmp, *.png, *.eps, etc..) the skin community would like to have most.

Well let me first say that as a long time fan of icon creation - I have created thousands of icons over the years, I am just in awe of your talent.

It is really something when someone is creating consistently better icons than what comes with the OS - even MacOS X.

The file types I use the most are:

.ZIP
.BMP
.JPG
.CPT
.CDR
.PSD
.WAV
.DXTHEME
.DXPACK
.WBA
.MP3
.TIF
.TGA

No filetype request, but new office-app-icons wouldn't be bad.

Oh, and more Object Desktop Icons...

you mean there are even *more* of these icons to come?

/me PURRRRRRRRRR

what would be nice is an icon for "recent programs". i have placed this XP start menu block on a popout menu using object bar

as for file types:
.rm (real player)

what about icons for other object desktop file types?

It's be great to have icons for us into game modding/development:

.map (map format used by Quake and its ilk)
.wmb (custom map format used by the A5 engine, which I use.)
.mdl (model format for Quake and and A5)
.wdl (script format for a5)

If you ever have time for this type of "niche" icons, I, and my colleagues at http://www.conitec.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php would appreciate it greatly

An icon for "run..." in the start bar.
My Music folder icon.

I noticed that several icons are already there (such as .zip). They just need to be applied.
