At last, after weeks of being under pressure I managed to do something everybody asked me for. Icon tutorial. Hope you will like it. I am aware of the fact that it is not a very detailed tutorial but you know As always, created using Fireworks Mx 2004. -Milo
Great news! It is good to see that you are working hard to bring new cool stuff to PC. and nice to see my icons on screenshot too
"I see Konfabulator as a well done implementation of existing ideas. If you see it as something deeply innovative, then we’ve reached a point where we’ll have to respectfully disagree."
i am happy that you agree and i agree with you too Yes, dashboard was influenced by Konfabulator and Apple should say it. Steve used some bad politics and showed dark side of him. Bad. However, Arlo didn't invent anything new so why Apple should give credits precisely to Konfabulator not for example to DesktopX? Only because Konfabulator is also available for OS X and desktopX not? Maybe all three
Object Dock is ripped version of Mac OS dock. DesktopX team haven't invented idea of widgets. Dashboard is ripped version of Kobfabulator. These 3 things are clear for me. Sure, it was a rip but still windows companies are ripping (and rather downgrading/complicating) from Apple much more than Apple from other companies. It is a shame on all that companies (both Windows and Mac ones) using that tactics to sell their products. But let's be honest, when a big

I also would like to thank all companies organizing it (especially Stardock) for their effort. It is good to see that skinners and iconinsts can find their second home and show the world what they want to show. It really helps our skinning community. Thanks guys!
Vector-cell is my fav but congrats to all!
"TLO came out first" no doubt about it but that is not the answer to my question
i read it today again and i am a bit concerned about judges opinion. so small question to them. why did You choose d3A more original than TLO and now write it is less original? really sad that judges change their minds so fast. and again cograts to winers. regards, Milosz.
yes congrats to all winners. I am a bit disappointed that only 1 point decided which icon set is the best but i guess it is normal for guiolympics and other big contests. again my congrats.
i fully agree with 7upcan
quality not quantity guys ;)
hey. my icon pack has a bit more than 71 icons :P. Anyway nice to see all that great icons in the final stage of this contest. Good luck.
congrats! i love that slick, metal style of D-Reliction.
"Probably by then 2006 nobody will be using 9x" - you are dreaming :D
my answer is very simple: i would create 2 different categories - classic icons (windows 9x) - modern icon (win xp) Very good example is Pixelpalooza where You have classic and OS X categories. I think that comparing win9x and winXP icons is not a good idea since there is a great technical difference between them. Let's hope next year there will be 2 different categories for icons :) Milo
Thanks for including my d3A. Just a small comment. I didn't make 9x version of my icons since they would look very choppy and simply miss some nice soft colors which are characteristic for XP. Time limit was also a problem. I think Rokey had the same reasons while making The Last Order.
ok. thanks for info.
can somebody please tell me when is the end of GUIOLYMPICS 2004? it is written that on 31 May but it is already 1st July here ,so? Thank you in advance Milo
your pronunciation was almost perfect Frogboy ;)
nice to meet You. "than it takes to create 120+ icons at 8 different resolutions" takes a lot of time if You want to create something really good. Notice also that we (iconists) work on each resolution not just scaling and leaving it unchanged. Regards Milo
i am so happy that I can say only: thank You! btw can You change "Miloszl" +"Miloszwl"? Small typo ;). Thanks.
