Re: Cube Icons Thread

May I ask what tools you used to create the .BRN files? I'd like to make some myself. Thanks and thanks for all the ones you've already made!

ie.bmp
ie_bot.brn
ie_bot_press.brn
ie_mid.brn
ie_mid_press.brn
ie_top.brn
ie_top_press.brn

ie.bmp is not to be used in the cube. I put a bmp representation for each icon, which will be used in a future version of the Cube Configuration Tool by thisguyinoc. The zip file in the attachments contains my first icon pack1 as well as pack2 with added bmp representations of the icon, so If you installed my first icon pack, you should reinstall it with this newer one. The two icon packs together contain 364 files and requires 10.9 MBytes of space. The icons install into the directory "My Documents\Cube Icons"

Here's the file name structure for the icons used on the Media Home (3-App side)

mh2_mplayer_bot.brn
mh2_mplayer_bot_press.brn
mh2_mplayer_mid.brn
mh2_mplayer_mid_press.brn
mh2_mplayer_top.brn
mh2_mplayer_top_press.brn
mh_mplayer.bmp
mh_mplayer_bot.brn
mh_mplayer_bot_press.brn
mh_mplayer_mid.brn
mh_mplayer_mid_press.brn
mh_mplayer_top.brn
mh_mplayer_top_press.brn

The nomenclature is mh stands for the standard icons and mh2 stands for the icons used while playing Media Player.

Here's the icons in CubeIconsPack1.cab:

--APLauncher Icons-- 6-App side
aim, calculator, Comm Manager, Excel, Games, Googlemaps, IE, Live Search, Money, Windows Messenger (MSN), Opera, Outlook, Power Point, Remote Desktop, Skype, Slingplayer, Tasks, Word, Yahoo, YouTube

Note: The gif animations are poor quality, the actual icons look much better.

Here's the icons in CubeIconsPack2.cab

--APLauncher Icons-- 6-App side
ActiveSync, Adobe Reader, Alarm, Calender, Camera, Contacts, Cube Configuration Tools, Eprocates, File Manager, MemMaid, Windows Media Player, Orb, Windows Pictures, Regedit, TCPMP, Total Commander, TV, Voice Recorder, Vtap

--Media Home Icons-- 3-App side
Camera, Windows Media Player, Orb, Windows Pictures, Slingplayer, TCPMP, TV

Note: The gif animations are poor quality, the actual icons look much better.
