I like the ones like Firefox and GIMP ones where there's shade contrast; it works well there.

great I see some new tiles that I ve been looking for lately.

check my sets too. Im doing them systematically by dfferent categories orphydian.deviantart.com/galle…

I plan to start working on a new set - Video and Photo editing- and I might want to ask  the permision for Gimp icon if my own version isnt satisfying.

you are also invited to my metro group, pretty much the best place to find metro stuff metrofoundry.deviantart.com/

I'm not sure what you mean with your first sentence.

No, I don't plan on doing any new VS.

Translation - everybody is doing work for windows 8. When I had it noone gave a damn.
Anyway it's a shame, you should maybe reconsider? Or at least port Soft7?

There's soft8: www.deviantart.com/art/Soft8-V…

Not the same as soft7, but it's very close.

These look great, definitely the best tile set out there. I just wish there was a chrome, generic email, and generic music app icon.

These icons really match the Metro Look-and-Feel.
Only Gimp (Wilber's nose and brush) might be in need of an idea that even someone who does not remeber the original icon would immediately identify your image as a painting creature.
Nevertheless: Thank you so much for your work!

AlexandrePh In reply to n0aimer [2014-02-03 23:11:26 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for your feedback Yep, Gimp may be the one that caused me the more trouble ^^ I was unsure how to do the eyes too. For the nose and the brush, I'll try another version by doing an empty outline (like the eyes) to show their borders, hoping that won't make it too complex (since metro is also about deleting the details ^^).

By the way, I wish to make a second version of all the series, a bit less like Metro, with different transparencies (for example with Firefox, the earth at 50%, continent 75% and the fox 100%), I think it's a good way to show details without outlines, and hopefully it will make Gimp look better ^^

n0aimer In reply to AlexandrePh [2014-02-04 05:53:29 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure your new icons will look marvellous again.

Concerning Gimp: Previously Photoshop had this eye image as an icon, but now they have moved on to the simply idea of two letters. That is not becaus of metro, but matches its l-n-f quite well. Maybe Gimp has to find something like this in the future as well?
