I'm a horrible artist, especially when it comes to making an icon look like
something in the low resolution used. Does anyone know a good source for
canned icons?
 
I tend to yank ones I need from explorer.exe or shell32.dll (not sure if
it's legal, though...guess I should probably check before I release any of
my stuff :) ). When that fails, I bite the bullet and make my own, since it
is real difficult to find decent-looking XP-style icons (the MS method of
Illustrator-Photoshop-GMG works pretty well, although drawing icons that
look as 3D as the built-in ones via vector graphics is a pain...I'd love to
get my hands on some of the Illustrator source files MS used as a tutorial)
 
hey Keith - where did you learn that this is the method?

what is GMG?

any links to provide more insight into their icon design methodology?

needless to say, if you ever _do_ get those illustrator files, post back,
plz! ;-)

thanks! =)
