Bouton's Xara Stuff: Volume 3

[Gare]

Eons ago, I posted some hand-made icons, and I'm now back with 12 more.

I made those and these because largely, icons created by engineers suck.

Icons are little pieces odf art and most of us are little pieces of artists.

I have no idea what that meant, sorry.

Anyhow, if you care to guess what programs or commands or files the icons represent, go ahead and post here.

I could guess at 2 or 3 maybe 4 but mostly I have no idea. the one I could guess at are transparency, clipview or cutout, security, slippery or slick floor, sleep mode. I am probably wrong on all counts but that's my guess on some of them.

thanks Gare

Hey, Larry" it's the voyage, not the destination!~ Thank you for contribution!


I'll reveal my intentions for each icon, one day at a time:




You were vary close, aside from receipts, I keep all graphics files and photos in this folder. And I back it up much more often than other folders!

ii to go!

By Best,

I like them, Gare. I can guess some. I'll wait in anticipation. It's like opening one of those Christmas calendars.

[Gare]

I'm flattered that you'd compare ANY of my work to an advent calendar

I hope you enjoy them; they are 100% Xara vectors, not bitmaps so editing is a breeze.

And if anyone doesn't have a bitmap exporter to ICO, I'd do it for you. Actually, Xara can do this, no?

Never tried. I've used Icon Lover since it first came out in 1934.

Yeah, me too.

Hi Gary,
this is my first choice in my mind

Like Rik frequently does, here's a challenge for fellow Xarists.

Unlike Rik, this competition sucks.

Here goes: I found a free image of what appears to be a rendered model of a 1`950's type rocket ship.

The second or third thing I noticed about it, was that a rendering of this in Xara could easily replace the bitmap version here.



I think it would mage great practice on using to9ols you've ignored until now. At left here, I've begun the body, which required feathering and blend steps because there is no gradient that would imitate the slow fade from outside to in.

Why not?

My Best,

Gary

Ahoj, Gary,
možno 50 krokov je lepšie, pretože 14
samozrejme pracuje pre jednoduché tvary,
ale ani zďaleka nie je nástrojom siete
