I've got quite a large collection of Star Wars Icons that I've made over the years.<P><I>Some of which can already be found on my site now! Image</I><P>They range from Ships to Characters.<BR>What I was wondering is how many people would actually download these if I put them on my site??<P>Again I don't want to waste my time if no one is bothered. Just looking for quick feedback on this.

I find your site very useful, in fact, I use one of the little icons as my Avatar over at the Operation Flashpoint forum.<P>And I'd definitely like to see some more missions like the Battle of Hoth!<P>

I used to have a HUGE SW icon library (.icl), but most of them sucked because they were taken from sources like Yoda Stories.

Ok here's an example preview of some of the Icons I've made. Image<BR> Image <P>The first 3 are 32x32 size:<BR><I>Jerec, Jek Porkins, Mara Jade.</I><BR>The next are 48x48 size:<BR><I>Mara, Tarkin, Crimson Empire Guard, Leia Slave.</I><BR>The purple area represents transparency. So you will see your desktop windows behind.<P>The Mara icon shows the differences if you actually use 48x48 size. Much more detail.<BR>All the icons though are designed to look good at 32x32 as that's what I use. They nearly all use 16.8 million colours too.<P>These are <B>NOT</B> just pictures I used. These are exports of how the Icons <B>will</B> actually look like! Image<P>Just a small sample. I've found some good references to capture some new icons recently.<BR>I've got many more I can make available.<BR><I>So what do you think?</I> Image<P>------------------<BR>Constable Antilles patrolling the area.<BR><A HREF="http://www.antilles100.freeserve.co.uk" TARGET=_blank>Ace Antilles X-wing Outpost</A><BR>Home of Yavin and Endor Updates.<p>[This message has been edited by Ace Antilles (edited 20 August 2001).]

Well this post got buried. Image I'm intending on making some more icons and I will start to think of ways to make them available on my site.<BR>Q and A time though. If you could answer, it might help me with stuff.<P><I>What icon size do most of you use?</I><BR>32x32 - small. 48x48 + - large.<P><I>How do you like icons downloaded?</I><BR>Single, ICL or in a Self extract file?<P>I have a exe file that will view, extract and even customize windows. My current LucasArts icons use it. So you can extract my new Icons that way.<P>Any replies will be helpful.

I use 48 X 48 and I would prefer them in an executable like your lucasarts and x-wing icons.
This is just my two cents.
