| Cool thread bro |
AwsomeAnimeAngel said: i love the icons :) thanks :) i can change folder but not the bin :S i want to change it to the cat in the bin one :p do you know how i can do that??? Some desktop items like the Recycle Bin have to changed through Control Panel --> Display. Find the option Change Desktop Items. In Windows 7 is in Control Panel -> Display -> Personalization -> Change Desktop Icons Are you using Windows XP? I am pretty sure Windows XP you still find the option to change standard desktop icons under Display: Open the Control Panel Double-click on Display In the Display Properties window click the Desktop tab Click the Customize Desktop button. In the Desktop Items window select either the "Recycle Bin (full)" or "Recycle Bin (empty)" folder and click the Change Icon button. Browse and find the custom icons, switch them out. |
Nedrapter said: Is the download link broken? Or just my browser playing tricks? The link appears to be working. I tried it on two different computers just now. Maybe your browser is blocking it, so try a different browser. Just click on the link and find the folder your browser sends downloads too (can be different between browsers). There's a chance its blocked where you live. I can add an alternate download link when I get home in a week or so. Also WinRar is required to open the file. |
| The link doesn't work in Firefox 13 but works fine in Opera 12, Chrome 20 and IE 9 |

Astaria said: Great thread! Hey, how do you organize your icons like that? Do you use a fencing software or something? ? No special software needed. They're organized on the computer by being kept in one folder and named in an alphabetical order. They're organized into the RAR file by just right clicking the folder and choosing Add to Archive.. |
Astaria said: No, I mean the icons on the desktop. Seems like there's an invisible fence. (o.o) Okay wait.. nevermind that, I think I got it. Btw, where do you get anime gadgets like that? :3 Oh then the invisible fence is just the horizontal/vertical spacing between icons. Mine was fairly large there. You control it in Windows Display somewhere. Just Google the gadget plus anime name or character, like for this one I searched Hatsune Miku gadget and found it. It was a pain to install tho. |
| Greeeaaat! Thank You! :D |
| Awesome Icons, Thanks |
| so easy .thnx |
| If you Google "anime icons for your desktop" and the like this thread comes up at the top between #1 and #3! |
| I was wondering, most of your icons don't have the 'white background, blue arrow' thingie on the icons bottom left. Is there a way to make it disappear? :3 |
xEru said: I was wondering, most of your icons don't have the 'white background, blue arrow' thingie on the icons bottom left. Is there a way to make it disappear? :3 Icons get the thingie if they're a shortcut. The original folder or startup icon doesn't have the shortcut thingie on it. For example I can't seem to put the Firefox non-shortcut on my desktop, so I just changed the icon for the Firefox shortcut which was already on the desktop. Every other folder you see on my desktop is the actual folder, not a shortcut, so they don't get that arrow and stuff. You'll have to find the actual folder or startup button for your own desktop stuff and drag it to the desktop, then change those icons, and they won't have the thingie on them! Your original desktop stuff is probably in your Admin and My Documents folders somewhere (guessing tho). |
| lol. I like my icons to match the folder they're customizing, but looking at the desktop screencaps in the top post I wonder why did I put Konan doing origami for the phone icon, that doesn't make sense unless phones are made of paper. I guess if you use your imagination shes texting. |
| Is it wrong to use the Konata Firefox icon for Google Chrome? BTW I really appreciate what your doing. Thanks man. |

| How do you get the words from the icons and such to underline? It looks really awesome! |

KnightsToFear said: How do you get the words from the icons and such to underline? It looks really awesome! Its in Folder Options for Windows- for Windows 7 you go to Control Panel and then to Folder options then to where I circled here which is where you change it from underlined or not. If you use WindowsXP you might be able to access Folder Options from the Control Panel, and I think you can from any folder actually. Not sure about Vista or Windows 8 but its probably similar you can always Google "find folder options in your version of Windows here" if you can't tho. |

| YESSSS~ Thank you! xD |
| |
| actually, from any folder, in every version of Windows, you can find Forlder Options in Tools Menu(from Windows Vista and above its hidden but apears when you press ALT in any folder), it's easy than search in Control Panel. |
| Hey, you have the non character folder? Thanks, and sorry for my bad english. |

Poly25 said: ahm..sir is there any way how to change the appearnce of a windows 7 gadget.? I want to change mine with an anime taste on it..if there's any link pls share. looking forward on your kindness sir.Thanks a lot sir. C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets I never tried to customize mine any further but you can go to this folder on your computer. Looks like you can change out the images with your own, best to probably edit the images already there tho with a more anime-ish theme. I might look into it later looks like it would be fun.. And in this thread people have some cool things you might like that which you can ask how they got it. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=218029 Otherwise you can Google 'desktop gadget' with stuff like "vocaloid" and see what you get. |
| Recently I have installed a windows coustomization tool called Rainmeter, it's like the Windows Vista/7 gadgets but fully customizable and there are a lot of "skins" in devianart, maybe one boring day I'll make a post about it... |
| The animated Vocaloid on my desktop is Rainmeter. |
| That are some nice icons :) I only have one problem: I changed the Recycle Bin to the Azu-nyan versions, but now it doesn't update itself from empty to full and the other way, how can I get rid of that problem? |

I have this problem in Windows 7 too. I found this tutorial for it but haven't tried it out yet. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/24761-recycle-bin-fix-custom-icons-not-refreshing.html |
| Thank you! It works perfectly fine now. :) |
| Thanks for this awesome tutorial and your effort to make it :) |

flamefire28 said: Um I clicked the link but it says forbidden and I cannot access the link It seems Fileden deleted all my icons and cursor files for no reason, when I hadn't even gone over half my bandwidth... Good thing I saved these. I'll move everything to my Dropbox. Then you can access the link again. |
Hime-sama said: i have question.. can u do that on a macbook pro?? becuz our settings are alittle different. I don't have a Mac so I don't know. Just Google "How to change folder icons on your Macbook" or something like that. If something comes up you should be able to use that to change your icons to these if they use icon format. |
Shishio-kunDec 20, 2012 3:30 PM
| Ok, I've changed the download link so its useable again. |
flamefire28 said: hmmm i tried to make my own icon but upon after creating the jpeg through photoshop it has a white background for some reason then when turning it into an icon through the convertIcon site the folder keeps the white background. how do i get rid of the background? Create or use a PNG with a transparent background instead, not JPEG. You can look up online how to render images if you want to clear the background from the image you were making. Converticon can't render an icon for you, its just a file converter. |
| Awesome thread. Thanks a lot for the icons and the tutorials. 'Helps a lot. :D |
| The truth does not have to be realistic.~ |
| thank u soo much! at first i was frustrated cause i couldn't find the customize tab but since i didn't have one i check the other tabs that had the same stuff as the customize tab so it all turned out fine in the end. so thank u soo much 4 putting this up ! |

| I accidentally stumbled upon more custom anime icons awhile back. Lots of options to choose from :) http://hitsugaya226.deviantart.com/gallery/43916680 |

Lots of options to choose from :) http://hitsugaya226.deviantart.com/gallery/43916680 Sweet thanks for sharing, I like some of those folders a lot especially the ones without logos. Esp the purple haired girls one and the red and black one! http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2013/218/3/a/anime_icon_pack15_by_hitsugaya226-d6gx0w5.png hanazara said: I cant make it bigger although in the setting I use large icon. Not much I can tell u how to make your icons larger at all without your OS type or any other info, just keep messing around with the settings and maybe restart com and make sure you save? You can also Google it ppl are bound to have asked or set up tutorials for it already |
| Thank you! these are really nice ^^ |
