Here are a set of steampunk icons I've created for use in a software
application called Rocketdock, Many of these are just work in progress
so excuse any that are incomplete. Feel free to download. Each PNG image
will be made into an icon shortly and will be made available on the
download page.
FTP - This one looks much better when it is a small icon
Shutdown
(If anyone wants to know how to create the guttering flame then just see
here:
Web HTML Editor (in my case frontpage, could be dreamweaver or similar)
Thumbwin / Minimize - application to thumbnail your apps on the desktop
Explorer or in my case I use File Explorer2 as one of the Explorer alternatives.
realplayer recorder/player/ripper (winamp or similar)
The same without the recorder for a program manager (Stack Docklet)
More on the same theme - VLC or other player
Netscape Navigator?
Control panel
This is the icon I use for the 'evil' MS File explorer, it could be used
for anything Microsoft, Windowes (sic) update or possibly Outlook?
Editor (could be notepad, in my case I use the Context editor)
Diary /Journal (Lotus Organiser)
Firewall (Sygate)
Photoshop - Not happy with this one, I use the one below,
Much happier with the camera above...
Opera - the web browser
Difference Engine no.2 - I'm not sure what you could use this for...
I use this padlock as the icon for Truecrypt
Firefox (poor, poor thing) - I now use this for the sandboxed version of
firefox using sandboxIE.
File Manager (in my case FreeCommander and/or Explorer2)
Internet Explorer
File Explorer ... Doh!
Word Processor, Word, Open Office
Skype
Task Manager
? - you've seen this before but it could be used for something...just
added a glass cover to the gauge
another under construction, it is actually the dial from the candlestick
phone above
Web browser, the world wide spider spinning the world wide web
Recycle bin (still working on this one)
Control Panel or something. I use it for opening the Computer
Administration window thusly:
Target: %SystemRoot%\system32\compmgmt.msc
Start in:%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
Arguments: /s
Email, on her majesty's service
Yahoo widgets startup
Anti-virus tool
Anti-virus tool
I am using this one as a replacement for the start button - the image
is not
particular indicative of its function but what can you replace a
start button
with if not another start button, so I've gone for something
more ethereal. It
calls a useful start menu replacement called Jetstart.
I'm working on using this zodiacal image for something else too, forgive
the
fact that it is rough at the edges. I'm sure someone can find another
use for
it. I really like this one and in fact I am working on turning it into
a widget.
Typewriter with screen -more dieselpunk this one, I use it as the icon
for the program 'console', this provides a transparent 'DOS' window for
performing command line tasks that is almost infinitely better than the
Windows DOS box.
Basically take your pick... each getting slightly more steampunk
A nice one for your wireless, this one looks much better when shown as an icon.
Goodsync or similar backup/synchronisation tool
They are all transparent PNGs images that Rocketdock can easily use.
Just right click/save as and copy them into your Rocketdock icons
folder. Rocketdock will handle the sizing automatically. When I am
complete I will save them as multi-size icons that can be used anywhere.
It is really nice to have a set of your own unique icons. I hope you
find them useful.
