2003.09.07 - Desktops, Rearranged

The Photo page of Desktops was getting unwieldy, so I reorganized it, complete with new material from Dave and Paul. Also, I added the 1280x1024 size (17" iMac) to several of the older Abstract and Theme desktops. Enjoy!

2003.09.01 - Desktops again...

Another desktop update: five new Photos, five new Abstract pictures, and several more sizes of Osaka River. Check 'em out!

2003.07.06 - New & Updated Desktops

In case you haven't been looking lately, several new desktops have been added over the last few weeks: six new Photos, four new Abstract pictures, and nine existing Photos re-scanned from negatives at higher quality. Check 'em out!

2003.03.06 - More new icons

Wow, two updates within one month of each other! Almost like the good old days, huh? I finished up another icon set that's been slowly building up for... well, about two years: Badged Folders is a collection of folder and disk icons I created whenever I had a need to tell something on my desktop apart from everything else. Enjoy!

2003.02.23 - Power Tools

Ah, screwdrivers, spanners, and sledgehammers... the stuff of developer tool icons. I got tired of pixelated old icons for my tools long ago and started making this Developer Tools set — now you too can use them to provide a little workshop flavor to your Dock. (And since some of us use more than just Apple's tools, there's a replacement suite for Resorceror in there too.)

In other news, we've added two new Desktops (in the Photos section) since the last update to this page. And there's new swag available at our online store, too.

2002.08.26 - Finally, a big update!

Those who followed the development of OmniWeb 4.1 may have noticed some changes in the icon design over time. Now that 4.1 has finally been released, we can post some of the interim designs here. OmniWeb Replacements is packaged with complete "makeover kits" letting you completely change your copy of OmniWeb to any of several alternate icon designs, in both Aqua and Graphite flavors.

Also, the Desktops section has been reorganized into four subsections, and updated with a few new pictures: one in Abstract and two in Themes.

And finally, an addition to the Goodies section: Jaguar Boot Panel is a tongue-in-cheek way to easily tell the difference between OS X versions during the startup process.

2002.06.21 - Merchandising & Moving

We've hooked up with CafePress.com to provide you with the finest in icons.cx apparel (and some other cool swag, too). Drop by our new Store section to grab yourself some!

After several years of apartment life, the icons.cx crew is finally moving to a house of its own. We'll be making our short cross-town move next week, June 24-30; since Qwest's DSL people don't exactly move at the speed of light, there may be some extended downtime for this web server. But don't worry, we'll be back soon enough with more cool collections of pixels for you! (And if you feel like picking up some icons.cx goodies during that time, you can still use the CafePress storefront.)
