Here are a few glass icons for anyone who wants them.

MY RULES!!!!!!!!!

1. Enjoy the icons!
2. refer to rule 1

Note: I cut and paste stuff, mild resizing and colouring. This is not difficult. I'm sure it can be done to a higher standard, with the right motivation.:)

All pngs were obtained from artists on DeviantART. Nothing is original.

(you may recognize a lot of these icons from elsewhere......)

IF you are not familiar with the style, around here it is refered to as ANASTASIA by DINIK
He was the first person to find all these great icons and slap them together with the glass effect(also found on DeviantART).

You are AWESOME for posting this and starting this thread but I bet you that he-who-must-not-be-named will throw another hissy fit. I will give this a few days before he starts banging on mods' doors to close this thread if he has not done so already. If it does not get closed at all, I will post ALL the hundreds of icons that I made. I promise...and they are quite nice for a newbie PS user (not artist yet). :)

How did you do that so fast!

I got the original template about 6 weeks ago from the guy on DeviantArt who was using the exact same glass effect as a 150x150 avatar on a site I frequent, and had been doing so for a couple of years.

There was a slight difference in the shadowing and colour effects, but once that was removed, (done for me), it's exactly the same.

Initially, I asked him if I could use it for my avatar which he happily agreed to, but when I realised I know bugger all about PhotoShop (that's how come I had all those tutorial links from the other thread) I came clean and showed him DINIK's excellent collection.

He thought it was brilliant as well. Very well done indeed.......

And now, in 1 hour, you have just allowed me to upload a completely new icon set to my phone.
Thank you.

But I am still gonna call it Anastasia if that's ok with you...... and with DINIK as well - because that's one aspect of his work not in dispute.

sorry but this is diniks style, you dont use the dinik frame!!!!!!
He can't claim ownership of all things. The PSD did not come from DINIK.

OF course we all know that these look like Anastasia icons. Not the issue, I have used his inspiration only, none of the graphics are from Dinik's computer. This is absolutely ridiculous and childish.

He did say we could release our own PSD's.

No one is disputing what style this is. I have said many times before, the OP or anyone who shares will not be known for these icons as anyone who sees them will say it is Dinik's when really it is not made by him. BUT the point of the matter is for those of us who began using the ANASTASIA theme have to make our own icons as there had been no addition for quite a while. That is how I began anyway, my template was actually from nniicckkss who was bullied by Dinik when nniicckkss shared the glassy psd template (so actually, I am using his template which he so graciously shared). And to be honest I only learned PS, CFC-GUI, ResHacker, WinCE, etc. when I got this phone last April. But I digresss...I am very much willing to share but because of rules blah blah I can't even post cab or zip files in threads. I actually have to individually email those who requested some of my own version of Anastasia icons but I stopped because that is really a pain to do every single time.

So I will share the icons below once this thread gets traction and not closed by mods due to reasons we already know.

Watch out though, nniicckkss did the same thing early on and his thread was eventually closed by the mods because D won't stop blabbing and throwing hissy fits and threatened to take his work out of XDA. At that time, I have ZERO PS skills and of course that will be a problem for me then if I want uniformity in my phone. But since I now know how to edit manila/dll files, make my own icons, and pretty much google and download for free (or pay a few bucks) really awesome PS effects, I say, go ahead and leave XDA if he makes the same capricious threats and demands. His ego just became so big that he thinks he is the only one who can do quality work when in fact it is so freakin' easy.


EDIT: I have wasted too much time on this. I am going to shut up now and just focus on modding my own phone whether or not the mods will be shared or not.

The original PSD you posted in the first post, is created based off one of Dinik's Icons. It's relatively easy to do... erase the stuff in the middle, blend around it to "complete" the image. Unfortunately for you, vgunmanga, you didn't do it perfectly and you can see that in the image below. ON the left, Dinik's original template.. on the right.. yours.


Anyway, Dinik will be relasing his icon template officially in a new thread created by him. There, you can share icons made in "Anastacia" style, using the official template. I think everyone will be happy with this arrangement. You guys get to do your own icons, dinik gets to back off.
