For the past 3 months Paul Boyer has been working on a whole new set of icon suites. The new set of suites is called the Orion series, a set of incredible looking premium icons that work on every version of Windows as well as support Windows XP alpha blending.
There are 1,500 icons at 6 different sizes (so actually 9000 icons). The suite comes with 6 different color variations with each color having a special bonus pack of additional icons for changing other parts of the OS.
They're less than $10 for the whole thing. For users who have wanted to transform their Windows icons to something truly next generation, this is it.
