So I decided to start up making icons for some Sonic games you can get on PC:

Sonic Adventure

sonicadventure2.png
sonicadventure3.png
sonicadventure4.png
sonicadventure5.png
sonicadventure6.png

Code:

Code:
[url~="http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=43809887&postcount=102"]Sonic CD[/url] (Rlan)

Sonic Generations

Code:

I'm interested in making more later. As a kid I used to make so many Desktop Themes for Windows 95 just because I could. Making icons for Windows 8 might get me doing that for a bit.

This is seriously a wonderful thread. I'm artistically challenged so may I put in a request for a couple tiles:

Visual Studio 2012
Sql Server Mgmt Studio
Office Suite (Word,Excel,Powerpoint)

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Stupid question here. How do you add section names above the tiles like in those examples? I was to have a column for work programs and a column for games etc.

Just wanted to make a quick note: Make sure to manage the OblyTile folder in Program Files by deleting removed tiles. It doesn't label each tile by name, so just open the folder, then images, and you'll see what icon is being used. They're small files, but it adds up over time as you add and remove tiles.

Anyway, here's uTorrent:

Quick question, how are you guys giving titles to specific sections? Games/Entertainment/etc.

Click the minus icon on the bottom right of the screen or ctrl+scroll out with mouse wheel, then right-click the group and select Name Group at the bottom.

is there a google calender app?

The mail app that comes with W8 can import your gmail calender if you link your account, I believe.


I've reinstalled W8 and have been working on getting all my tiles fixed up. I'll update my previous posts with the fixed tiles once I finish everything


Really trying to keep it classy and clean for the applications. Then I'll be treating the game tiles as box arts with the more complex art
