Icon-A-Day, Icon # 71, Suspend

One more quick one.

Published on March 12, 2005 By mormegil In Icons

Icon 71 (Suspend) Today's icon will follow almost exactly the same steps as yesterdays. This is a good example of how to re-use techniques. So with no further ado, lets make the "Suspend" icon.
Step 1: First things first, we copy the Run icon from yesterday and remove the text, and change the background to a Golden Yellow blend.	Step 2: Now using two circles and the trim tool I make myself a nice crescent moon shape.	Step 3: Now we use the Perspective tool, give our half moon some dimension. I also use the Contour tool to give the moon a "poor mans bevel"
Step 4: Now we give the Moon a standard Corel drop shadow.	Step 5: Now with the contour tool I give the Moon a inner contour to the appearance of depth.	Step 6: Now we give the moon a nice bit of gloss.
Step 7: Once more the last step is to give the new icon a new Reflection.	Finished Icon Design.	Click here to download the finished icon.
This brings us to the last ever icon to be done in my crap-taculer tiny 1 bedroom apartment. Tomorrow we will push on further through the "Start icons" From my shiny brand new house.

Loving your work. How do I change the suspend icon etc?

on Mar 14, 2005

I think the only way to change it is with Iconpackager. And I dont think it can be changed in XP. It is mostly for 2000 and 9x

I have Iconpackager but I cannot find where?

It is in the "Start" Section, and like I said it only taks affect in Windows 2000 or 9x.
