-soapboxed- icon packages

-climbing up on soapbox-

Why do I keep finding icon packages that are missing Office icons? Are the creators living in some alternate universe without Office files? They often feel the need to create a txt icon but not a doc one? Regardless of how you feel about the evil empire Office files are ubiquitous.

Perhaps the only thing more bizarre is when the artist creates the icons but doesn't implement them in the package. WHY? If I liked your icons enough to use them I want to use all of them! Not use some of them and then have other icons that stick out like a sore thumb because the icons exist but weren't installed with the package! I think this might be done to purposly to cause head bashing the keyboard syndrom. I can just hear the artist laughing as I find the icons hidden in the package but not used. "HA HA HA, Look at him turning red! Wow, he might draw blood if he keeps bashing his head like that. HA HA HA"

I really do appreciate the artists efforts. I have nether the time or talent to create some of the great icons I have seen. I just wish that sometimes the packages were implemented a little better.

See what happens when I try to quit smoking?

Ask yourself why there arent much office icons.
I will give you a hint:

Is it skinnable?

actually , many of the extra icons can be found in graphics library here on wc *the one with the glue icon*.
because office is not an integrated part of windows, it's icons are rarely placed into the packages. But some artists supply extra sets in that graphics library I mentioned.

I always include the Icons for most the office filetypes in my Icon packages, and I think most of the other populer Icon Packager authers do as well. As for the App ICons, look in the Object Dock section, or in the bouse Icon packs that are out there.

One of the reasons I usually am running one of your packages.
