Icon-A-Day, Icon # 71, Suspend

One more quick one.

Icon 71 (Suspend)

Today's icon will follow almost exactly the same steps as yesterdays. This is a good example of how to re-use techniques. So with no further ado, lets make the "Suspend" icon.
 
Step 1:

First things first, we copy the Run icon from yesterday and remove the text, and change the background to a Golden Yellow blend.

 Step 2:

Now using two circles and the trim tool I make myself a nice crescent moon shape.

 Step 3:

Now we use the Perspective tool, give our half moon some dimension. I also use the Contour tool to give the moon a "poor mans bevel"

 
Step 4:

Now we give the Moon a standard Corel drop shadow.

 Step 5:

Now with the contour tool I give the Moon a inner contour to the appearance of depth.

Step 6:

Now we give the moon a nice bit of  gloss.


Step 7:

Once more the last step is to give the new icon a new Reflection.
Finished Icon Design.

This brings us to the last ever icon to be done in my crap-taculer tiny 1 bedroom apartment. Tomorrow we will push on further through the "Start icons" From my shiny brand new house. See you all then.

I think the only way to change it is with Iconpackager. And I dont think it can be changed in XP. It is mostly for 2000 and 9x

It is in the "Start" Section, and like I said it only taks affect in Windows 2000 or 9x.
