Gooey Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 Helloooo!!I've have made a Dock icon PNG 256x256 for uTorrent. It's my first time i've tried something like this. I'm quite happy with the outcome. Hope you like it. Give me your opinions / improvements Download from my Devianthttp://www.deviantart.com/deviation/24524072/Example
Gooey Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Posted October 28, 2005 Well i can't speak for other docks. But with YzDock you drag in a shortcut of uTorrent, right click the shortcut and click "Propertly of Dock Item.." then "Change Icon.." And select your new .PNG or .ICO file. Glad you like it.
Ryz Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 don't really like the font used for the word "torrent" but apart from that its nice
ScubaSteve Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 nice looking icon up large in 256x256. doesnt look so nice on the dock though imo.
Gooey Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Posted October 28, 2005 Another.EDIT: To save: Right Click. Save As...I've improved the font and shading and used a different font.Example:
ScubaSteve Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 thats a much clearer font than the first one used. looks nicer in your dock now.
1c3d0g Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 That's very nice, it looks soft and eye-pleasing. 8)

Darrian Posted October 30, 2005 Report Posted October 30, 2005 Both icons are for docks, to download them just right-click and save image as. They're pngs, they're supposed to be. You can convert them to icons yourself with most icon software. I recommend Axialis Iconpackager, which has a trial period, but I'm sure you can google up some freeware. Which leads to...The steam icon is in a dock. As such, and as with every app in it, it has a specified image, which is usually a png and not the default icon of the app. He didn't change steam's icon, he just has a custom icon in his dock. It's very similar to how you can make a shortcut to an app and change the icon of the shortcut, but it doesn't change the actual app icon. Except most custom icons don't always come with 128x128 or higher resolution.
Gooey Posted October 30, 2005 Author Report Posted October 30, 2005 Thanks for the explanation Darrian Majority of my dock icons can be found on DeviantART in the Icon>Dock icons section.
eyecue Posted November 29, 2005 Report Posted November 29, 2005 Great icon.Could you try a version with the white border dropped, reduce the size of the white reflect layer by 30%, and then its height by 40%.A green orb with " µ " in it would be simle yet elegant, ta
