Icon-A-Day, Icon # 27, Admin Folder

More folders, and more usefull elements.

February 2, 2005 8:51:40 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
A Icon a day Keeps the Creative
Icon 27 (Admin Folder)

    Moving on through the folders, we come to the Administration Folder. This is another folder that most people don't ever see, but its supported and we want to do a full pack, so we will do it anyway. Also we can re-use several of the elements we are going to make in the process.
 
Step 1:

First thing first, we copy our Open Folder icon.


Step 2:

Now I take the word file from our word folder and take the DOC extension off the top of the file. And place it in the folder.
 Step 3:

I use the Polygon tool to make a gear that we can place in the folder.

 
Step 4:

Using the same techniques as yesterday I give the gear a "Poor Mans Bevel" (See Contour Video for more)


 Step 5:

I fill in the Gear with some gradient fills.
Then I draw Two Little "People" that I can use for an overlay.
 Step 5:

Now same as the gear, and the "T" yesterday I use the techniques from the Contour Video I give the two figures a bevel.
Step 6:

Using our Gloss, Shadow and Reflection techniques I give my little figures a shadow and add some reflections. One more thing, I decided I don't like the file in there so I duplicate the gear, and delete it.

UpsideDownCG, the Administrative Tools folder is in XP Pro and XP Home, although it probably only shows on accounts with administrator rights.

Can you go into a little more detail as to how you created the gear? I have been trying using the polygon tool and I am missing something!

Thanks,
Josh
