Notice how my folders aren't yellow? I actually
designed that folder icon myself. The other icons aren't exactly the defaults
either. C drive icon, no longer a grey rectangle. Now it's a distinctive
cue that it is the C drive. Custom icons for various file types, check.
Non-default fonts and color scheme, check.
as part of a collection of imac themed icons. I also had this icon 
from a different set of icons I had downloaded. I wanted to use the imac one,
but it didn't match my web-view customized graphics, which had been color coordinated
to match the folder with the sun glare on it. But I wanted more. I wanted the
folder right aligned not left aligned, more like this copeland folder icon 
so it would match the other open folder icons that already come with windows,
and just for aesthetic reasons. So with a couple graphics programs, I changed
the imac folder to have the color palette of the folder with the glare, and flipped
it horizontally, all together creating this icon 
.
Pretty cool looking isn't it? Just one little problem. Windows uses two icon formats.
Big and small. Of my source icons only the copeland folder had a small icon view.
So I took the small copeland icon 
and changed the colors on it to look sorta like the large icon view, creating
this
