About This File
Here are some Cold War themed desktop icons for use with the Third Wire series. Some have text while others do not. I tried to be creative with these and there are a variety to choose from.
NOTICE
The icons in this package were created from 48X48 bitmap images. Converting them into a windows desktop icon takes them down to 32X32. Some of these I have found to be not very clear when using them in a default Windows XP setup. Some look just fine at this size but some do not.(Some text is hard to see) I just started using a shareware version of something called IconX that essentially makes my Windows XP icons look more like Vista icons. This program allows me to basically enlarge the icons to any level while at the same time scaling them appropriately so that they do not loose any visual quality. So with this program for example, all of the icons are large and clear for me. I don't use Windows Vista so I do not know how these icons will scale for you folks. I assume you all won't have issues with them as Vista icons seem to have been designed much larger and with more versatility than XP.(Please forgive my ignorance here I just don't know much about it and I'm still learning)
As a result there are two packs in one here. A zip with the icons and a zip with the original 48X48 bitmaps. That way if someone has a specific need or adjustment they must make to get the most out of these icons, the original bitmaps are available to them to tweak as needed.
The download zip is called "Cold War Icons and Bitmaps". Inside this are the "Cold War Icons" zip and the "Cold War 48X48 Bitmaps" zip.
Just extract these zips to a temporary place and have a look and see what you can use. Also have at the provided bitmaps if you would like.
Thanks again,
