Description Latest Update on 28 October 2013

Deshou for Windows 7. Part of the Deshou composition.

Deshou ICON is aimed at minimalism, pixels, and adaption. It is highly stripped of borders and colours to give a focus on text and content instead of the icons by which they are denoted. It uses a rigid pixel format throughout and uses straight edges to follow a neat grid. Additionally, Deshou ICON is made to not take the foreground of your system - the simple grey colour scheme will not detract from your wallpaper or your media.

This has been designed in Windows 7 SP1 64-bit. Only use the system files on a 64-bit OS, otherwise they will probably brick your system.

Included are the *.dll system files, 150 icons in *.ico icon format and *.png image format, and the template .psd file used to create them.  You will need to change the extension for Explorer, as dA does not allow executable files to be uploaded.

Icons come in 32-bit (16x 32x 48x 64x 128x 256x), 8-bit (16x 32x 48x 64x), and 4-bit (16x 32x).


To go about replacing the system files, I recommend using the software Unlocker to unhook them from running processes and then either delete, rename, or remove the original system files.  Another program, Replacer, may work with limited success.

The *.ico icons will work in IconPackager, and can be recoloured by hue, saturation, and luminance to match your setup.  For live folders I recommend just using frame.ico for the front and back.

I don't suppose you remember what exactly the shell32.dll changes? Once I replace mine with the one from the icon pack my reboot, shutdown etc button changes to blank. Its pretty much the same problem as inestion had below. Amazing icon pack btw

Hi, i've two problems: one is that i can't power off/reboot my pc because the button is missing, and the other is that computer and network icon didn't change. Any solutions?

Would you replace the system files one at a time to see where the problem is?  I assume you speak of the start menu.

You replace the respective files which contain the icons.  Not all icons are reskinned via the provided system files, so you may want to install a program (e.g. IconPackager) to replace said icons.  You might be able to do it all with just a program, but the files will ensure the icons are replaced properly.

Do you think about making program icons, like firefox, adobe photoshop etc?

Ravmunken In reply to spowsleuh [2013-11-24 06:20:48 +0000 UTC]

I don't have program icons visible anywhere so probably not.  Personally, I would just make them a single icon like a box or something to signify the executable anyways.

10/10
It would be 11/10 if you had made a Cursor for it. I would love to use it.

Live Folders seem to require IconPackager to make them work correctly, although they exist in numerous places in the files I've provided.  I'd recommend just doing the blank "frame" icon for the folder front, as I couldn't come up with anything that looked good with the thumbnails between.

Sorry I explained it in another comment but deviantart thought it was spam for some reason, and wouldn't let me post it :/

Some of the icons did not get replaced, like the disk drives that aren't C:, and the Computer icon.

I assume you assume the system files change everything.  I've changed out many icons in the system files I've done so far, but there are many system files which contain icons.  You'll need to use a program such as IconPackager to further replaces ones as needed.  Strange that the computer icon didn't change though.  Also, library icons require a changer program to replace them.
