Icon Packs

#1 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 - 11:18

I fairly recently restored my fathers old SE/30 thanks to uniserver and techknight, however the harddrive had failed quite brutally mechanically. Software can always be replaced however but some things wasn't as easy to find.

He had loads of custom folder/app icons that we used (most of 'em B&W compatible), but I can't really seem to find any online. Not looking for anything specific, just to have a bunch of custom icons again. If someone knows of any, or have, I'd greatly appreciate it =)

Hi,

My fav icons now are the old Ikthusian packs. Someone archived it here :

For Black/white , see on the second page

pack called "FlashbackDeluxe". Very cool.

Wow, thank you! I downloaded them all and just managed to unpack them, many of them seems to display just fine on the B&W screen =)

Find a copy of the book "Macintosh Revelations". It has a companion CD-ROM with TONS of icon files!!!

Thanks!

Could this be the book?

If so it seems like the companion CD is something called "BMUG'S CD-ROM"

Which led me here:

https://archive.org/details/cdrom-bmug-pdrom-v2

That CD seems to be public domain (totally legal to download on it's own). But it's 8 years older than the book itself. Can you confirm or deny it being the correct CD though? Gonna try and download it as soon as I can =)

Edit: Wow, seems to be a bunch of PD disks available there, I should really rummage through a bunch.
