75? Icons

or 76 trombones

from WinCustomize Forums
Let's say that I totally lose what's left of my mind and try to knock out these icons for the skinning contest. Keeping in mind I didn't have much of a mind to begin with...Can anyone tell me where I might find a list of the 'essential' 75 icons I need to meet the minimum requirements?

Thanks.Jester 2

Open the IconPackager program and click on the Icons and Cursors button on the left and that will open a window with a series of tabs (Desktop, Start, Folders, Drives, Others and Files) there you will find the 75 icons

I have no idea.
But, you might peruse thru Mormegil's icon a day tutorials to get an idea.

I did that and I am getting way more than 75 icons when I count them up. I see some of them repeat, but there is still more than 75. I just don't want to miss some and do ones I don't need for the contest.

I guess that's the next step. I looked through it once and counted more than 75. I guess I have to actually 'read' it to see if I can find which are the 'critical' ones.
Where'd I [ut those bifocals?

If you wanna make them 75 just start leaving out File Extensions icons, but the rest should be skinned. It is anyway inevidable to leave some File Extensions out, last time i counted on my system i found around 450 different file extensions, i guess that is a number difficult to skin.

This is my problem. The contest says "Icon Packs must contain at least 75 icons".
I just realize it says "at least.."..
I just want to be sure I get the essentials before I venture into any others. What I have been doing is using IP to 'preview' a pack and following that as a guideline. Most of the IP's that I have contain around 90 or so..give or take 10 or so.
