Where the hell do these guys get their l33t icons from?

[Aaron]

Have any of you see the popular March Desktops thread on the Neowin forums? They have so many good icons, and I wonder where they get them all from. Mine are all the default XP ones and its time I got some new ones now, especially the icons that look good when its big-sized.

When you find out, please post.

I've found just about most of them on www.DeviantArt.com

Go to Icons > Windows Icons > Sort by Total D/L, and the popular ones appear!

I wonder if anyone knows what the name of that Note app on Faction's desktop is? http://pages.sbcglobal.net/faction/Notes.JPG

Wow, Babis! you know a lot!

While you're around, do you know how to set the icons large for [b:765c5bab9e]Desktop only[/b:765c5bab9e] like some of the large icons in the neowin desktop screenshots. Cos I would know that the icons in windows explorer would be ugly if they're big.

Aaron:

from my knowledge there is no way to change the icons and not make it a global change...(except for the start menu..details below)

here are some threads to support my statement:

There is a roundabout to it: change your start menu to use the classic menu(using small icons) and only then you can sort of have small icons there... check the above thread for a screenshot!

Also, your windows desktop icons will not go larger then a certain size I think it was 64 or something

you'll need a reg tweak to make it go higher... (say 128 )
