FauxS-XP & Last Icon update?

Would it be worth the time?

from WinCustomize Forums

While I was doing the Icon-A-Day Icons I realized how many Icons had been added to IconPackager over the last few years. Every once and a while I see screenshots of people using my FauxS-XP Icons or the LaST Icons. It has been some time for me since I have looked at them our updated them. I am wondering if it would be worth my while to do so.  
 
I have 4 colors of LaST Icons, that I could finish up and post. I would have to create something like 15 new Icons to make them IP 3 Complete.

Also The FauxS-X Icons are getting a bit dated. But with a bit of work I could go through and update them to include all the IP 3 Icons, as well as make sure they all have 128x128 version.

I don't want people to think I am just trying to get more downloads, or trying to avoid doing anything new. The Icon-A-Day Pack is just freshly posted and It will be about a month more before I can post the Atlas Suite. So this came to mind.

More or less I am asking to see if the demand is there, and if so witch packs would be most requested for a update? Let me know what you think?

You don't have to ask IF we want them, Paul! That's how good they are.

I would personally love to see the other color variations of the Last suite. I love the pack as it is now, but the color doesn't fit extremely well with most skins and desktops, so it would be interesting to have other color choices. Cuz, ya know, your icons rock out.

May I request 2 more generic icons for each pack ?

Burning Software (Data and/or Music) and nice notebook icons like there where in Orion ?

Could You consider generic bluetooth and cellphone icons also ?

Sorry this comment is way late, but I just came across this thread. Anyway, yeah, more icons for any of those sets would rule... I've been using your icons for years, ever since I switched from a Mac to a PC and wanted to do something to make Windows look a little nicer.

One thing I have trouble finding out there are good replacement icons for applications themselves (not the files they create). Like someone mentioned, better Office icons, Adobe icons, game icons, or things like Ad-Aware or Media Player that have pretty ugly icons by default. That way they would blend in with the others. I know that's asking a lot, though.

Keep up the fantastic work and bets of luck whatever you decide to do.

As I mentioned in a private letter, the FauxS-XP set is my default, my "workhorse," if you will. Anything you could add to that would be immediately snapped up in this neck of the woods. And if you could toss in a Corel WordPerfect icon for the three or four of us who use that grossly neglected gem of an application, I'd be tickled pink!

(Aha! It just dawned on me why nobody makes WP icons! It's the word processor that four-out-of-five lawyers prefer! Hahahahaha!)

Take care!

I got OD this spring & it wasn't long before I downloaded LaST IPs in several colors- later also got FauxS-X IPs in a couple of colors. Just last week, I got each set in red because I knew one or the other would be just right with JJ's Mustang WB. (Both are great with it.) At the time I thougt how great if you had time to extend the size of both sets to today's range. It would give you a chance to add the polish of a few years more of skill & technology.

IMHO, I can't imagine anyone thinking you'd do it for the numbers-- Your icons are the default for WB. I've only seen respect for your talent here.
