Here is something for OS X users, Leopard lovers... just like I am  ;D

Although many people liked those old OS X icons more than these new that came with Leopard OS, just because they are colorful and everything (I guess majority of people like candy-bars  ;D ), I found these new icons simply wonderful. The designer kept the consistency, and I have to say that I have never ever seen such a clean and crisp design in any other OS. No shiny parts, no unnecessary fake folder perspective (remember, out desktop is flat after all), just what it takes to have a wonderful looking icons.

Well, I decided to create something for avast!... avast! program folder icon actually. Of course I used exactly the same style, so it fits the rest of the icons in Leopard IMHO a 100%. The beauty is that Leopard allows us to have 512x512 pixel icons... true not very useful when on desktop, but that size is not meant to be used on a desktop anyway... it's for Leopard's new feature called "Cover Flow".

Here is preview how it looks like when in "Cover Flow" view (click on a thumbnail below to see full size image):



Here is how it looks like when placed as "normal" icon among some other icons inside the Finder (similar thing to Windows Explorer in Windows):


And finally... here is a zip file with both, .icns as well as .rsrc files (icon files in OS X). You are free to use them wherever or whenever you want, just do not forget to mention who's the author if you are going to redistribute them. Look for orange DOWNLOAD button at the bottom of the page.

Hope you like 'em...

Cheers!

Hello my friend!

I am glad you like it, but I believe this looks kind of too generic... I also believe that this looks a lot more like you  :)

Like this one ? If answer is YES, you're more than welcome to use it as your own avatar.

Cheers!

Yes a great avatar, if a little on the heavy side at 322KB for those of us on dial-up, considering the current forum speed issue.

Yes, but this should not affect it at all, since none of these avatars I uploaded to avast! server. They all are hosted on some of those free image hosting services. The only impact it should have on loading is, that page should load fast anyway (if you don't have any trouble with your ISP), but these "heavy" animated gifs shouldn't display immediately... that's the only trouble you should normally have.

In another thread I posted how fast these pages are loading on my end... of course dial-up users will have to wait some longer, but that's the price you have to pay if you can't afford some faster IS, or if it's not available in your area of course.

And it isn't available in my area, so pages with high graphic content are very slow loading, which is different that the current problem with the forum that I'm experiencing.

I have had some horrendous page creation times, normally they are in the tenths of a second or lower but I have had many now in the hundreds of seconds (not hundredths of a second) and that is before we even get to loading the images from wherever they reside.
