Made one more folder set (Grey).  Decided to make the icons on the folders a little bigger.  Again there are so many PNGs that I had to split it into 2 zip files.

I did so more revisions on the grey black folders.   Continued to make the icons bigger, added more icon selections.  I deleted the old zips and uploaded the new ones.  I named the zip files blk_folders to keep one from getting mixed up with the previous ones which were called greyfoldes.

Looked at all the folders in ArcaOS and made many more folder icons.

One pic is an example of my desktop.

Made more blk folders.  Just more selections to choose from and a few icons to complete the ArcoOS transformation.

Did one more color scheme.  This time green.  I think I finally got the ideal size for most of the icons.


Made some additional green folder icons.

Hi David.

First of all, thanks for all the years you have dedicated to create icons and beautiful things for the platform.

I have a request for you. I like a lot to have an icon on the XCenter to minimize all open windows on the desktop at once. I use the "HBShowDesktop" widget.

But I don't like the icon, since it is "too Windowsish"... reminds me to Win98 I guess.

Do you have a suggestion between the icons that you have created to replace it?

Regards

Hi Martin,

Here is one idea I had.  It is based on one of the minimize folder icons.

I created these titlebar bitmaps years ago for estyler.

Unzip and copy the desired bitmaps to the

sys\apps\styler\bitmamp\tbkgnds

I took the ArcaOS logo and added 5.1 to it. 

Copy to your OS2/Bitmap directory.
Go to     desktop > background > color only    and select a background color you want
Then unselect the Color Only and choose the logo.  It is a PNG, PNGs work for backgrond.

NOTE:  ArcaOS PNG backgrounds do not recognize transparencies .  Black is the best background color for this PNG logo.

Added 5.1 to the ArcaOS backgrounds

Just download the PNGs file name and copy to your OS2\Bitmap directory.

Go to your

desktop > background     and choose the one you want.

I am still getting organised -- new machine, new AOS-5.1 copy &c -- so could have missed an existing set of the icons I have in mind, but how about some representing operating systems back to CP/M?

CP/M : interlocking chiselled-stone gear wheels with a flint axe leaning against them.
DOS : an ox cart loaded with jumbled letters & digits, towed by bullocks.
UNIX : stacked USian phone books (inc. a C manual) topped by an old button-dialler phone (courteous AT&T reference).
Linux : not sure -- try a parody of UNIX, a heap of paperwork with varied designs of phone & computer having a slightly homebrew look.
OS/2 : (proving we can take jokes as well as dish 'em out) old OS/2 logo backed by a radiant rising sun.
Windows -- abandoned versions : a garish multicoloured Windows logo, one numbered pane broken.
Windows -- current : blue (?) Windows logo fronted by a cowpat/cowflop with a version number on it.  (Okay, getting a wee bit political there...)
eCS : the basic eComStation logo.
AOS : today's logo, possibly without version number.
Other OSes (Mac, Beos, &c) : have fun being inventive.
