The third edition of my gray folders. This set contains 305 icons for Windows XP and Vista - soon available for Macintosh OSX and Linux.

The Windows Vista ICO icons also work on Windows XP, but if you need 100% Windows XP icons you should use the XP ICO iconset, these icons are rendered in other sizes.

Change icons in Windows XP

The most of my icons are made for Windows XP and Vista, a few of these icons I made useable for Macintosh OSX and Linux.

I use IconPackager to change my Windows icons. IconPackager is a desktop-enhancement utility that lets you change all the common icons used by Windows at once by applying "packages" of icons to them. You can download these packages at websites such as WinCustomize.com, DeviantArt.com or create your own by replacing the icons of individual items on your computer one by one, then saving them as an icon package.

Version 3.2 adds support for Windows Vista icons including the new live folder icons.

Another way to change your folders is iColorFolder. With the little tool iColorFolder you can change the generic Windows XP folder icon and by a right click change the colors of the folders. It works without any problems and need no CPU capacity. In the skinpack on the website are my XPlastic (v1) folders integrated

E-Mail from Kemern Aran:

Hi, I`m the author of iColorFolder, and I`m making a iColorFolder Skinpack that collects the most beautiful skins I can find. I`ve seen your XPlastic skin and wanted to ask you permission to include it in this pack, obviously giving you full credits.

Thanks,
KemenAran
