Someone named Steve Holt has released a bunch of Windows/Mac icons for various programs. If you use any, you totally have the ability to ponify them now!
Amen to that! I am not good with machines. I like all icons, especially the Team Fortress 2 icon. I'm just a bit sad I can't use the Portal 2 one. I don't have Portal 2 for my computer.
Does anypony know how to resize them properly so that they fit correctly, because when I try to put them as my icons, they don't look good, and they look at pixilated. http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/6312/troublesc.jpg That is what they turn out to be for me, and I need them to be a proper 200x200 size
The icons are lovely.... but I would really love to have that wallpaper, on the example of what itlooks like on a pc... if anyone has it or a link it would be most appreciated...
Great, except I don't use half of these programs, and often use completely different ones. Is there a way to customize these (besides redrawing them), or more generic versions?
I had to go in and change the accessibility permission for some programs to "read & write" for "everyone" on my Mac. Is there something similar you can do on a PC?
The one on the left is the png image in the mac file.
There is no earthly reason why I can't get an icon to look like the png (Well actually there is but in principle...), I've seen and made custom icons that look really good, but photoshop has failed me D: (again...)
I think the problem is we have too high resolution screens for low resolution icons.
What I don't understand is the 256 pixel limit and the fact that the original 600 pixel picture looks so much better with it's own icon on the desktop.
Take the png image (needs to be shrank to 256 pixels or less) or the original ico image, open Photoshop (you need the ico plugin) and here is the key: Gaussian Blur filter (up at the top). Around 1 pixel setting does the trick. Then save the new ico image. :P
Downloaded and rushed to get it set up! Looks super cute on my mac! :D Absolutely love it!
I really hope Steve (or somepony else!) makes more of these icons! I'd love one for a calendar, dictionary, and encyclopedia, and anything else people would want to make!
I'll probably reuse some of the icons for more than one application.
I am so going to make .desktop files for Ubuntu's Unity interface from these. Where should/can I post them once I've got them? Or is anypony else interested?
As many people have had some issues with the Windows icons looking pixely (silly Windows for not scaling it using a proper algorithm), I've made a somewhat fixed version of them. I also included the two Mac icons that weren't put with in the Windows folder, so there's 20 icons in all now. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9812118/The%20Muffin%27s%20Compendium/FixedMLPicons.zip
As for those having issues with Skype, I fixed it by making my own shortcut. Hopefully that fixes that problem (I don't know if it's the same issue with the Microsoft Word shortcut).
Scratch that... Tinypic keeps converting it from a PNG to a JPG whenever I upload it. What. The. Hay.
In other computer problem news, I changed the calendar icon to Luna, and it shows up in the Finder correctly, but no matter how many times I delete it from the dock and put it back, it still shows up as the original icon. Even after restarting. Can anyone help?

EDIT:
Also, does anyone know where I can find vectors of Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo in the same pose as all the others?
I'm thinking Applebloom ->VLC and Sweetie Belle ->Garage Band not sure about Scootaloo... maybe torrent?
While I'm not using these icons, I certainly like the idea of making myself some MLP icons. Disappointing that I can't use most of them too, although I suppose not everybody needs a parasprite icon for alien swarm
Oh dear. Ponies have spread to my dock. It's only a matter of time before I start doing the case up in rainbow stripes and plaster Derpy eyes on the back.
OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH Someone submitted my stuff to ED? This is the BEST DAY EVER.
A few little notes here;
>I'm sorry about all the issues with the Windows icons. I generally only use Windows for gaming so I'm not too familiar with the whole ideal icon set up. Some bronies like MelonYoshi have done us the huge favor of properly converting the files so it would be best if you download from those who know what they're doing. Thanks to those who did that.
>As for more icons, I'm not sure. I had originally intended this just to be for myself so I missed out on a lot of programs people use, but I don't. I also had time to kill but nowadays I'm a bit busy. A lot of folks have taken the liberty of using the vectors for themselves and customize them for the programs they use most and the results have been pretty awesome.
>Also, Photo Finish would have been perfect for iPhoto but I didn't have enough time to make a Photo Finish filly and I had no where else to put Rarity. I also wanted to have Dr. Whooves as Time Machine, but again, had no time.
I'm sorry for typing so much, I'm just so giddy and happy that so many people have liked these icons!
I see ponies have problem with resized icons? No wonder, since they just have one image of 200, which is large, and not even a multiple of 16!
Seems like MelonYoshi Tried to fix that though. It's better, but still gets pixelly with small sizes, not to mention he has forgot to include two common sizes; 72 and 96, which would get pixelly if used.
I've taken all the mac pngs, also the two pics amaiakuyume made, and softly resized them to 32-bit squares of 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 72, 96, 128 and 256 with IcoFX. Should cover pretty much everything. Much better IMO, they look good even in 32px!
Can somebody please upload these to somewhere, as megaupload has been shut down, and I can't get these icons. Please link in these comments if you do. (reposting under proper name)

OMG I have been looking for these.
NICE!
My computer is never going to survive the drought, between the desktop ponys and now this!

>Pony Icons
>All filly form
>Made by someone named Steven
Wat.
Trixie as my Skype icon?
Never!!!
I'll take that Vinyl iTunes icon though.
I tried to do this with screencaps from the original version I found on Ponibooru, and failed miserably.
Thank God there's an readme for the technologically illiterate bronies like myself on how to replace the icons the right way now.
Haha, this is so awesome! But there's so many more icons needed! Safari! Calander! GarageBand/Logic! Pages!
Also, is it possible to return to your old icons if you want to?

It won't let me change the Icon for the Microsoft Word or Skype on Vista. :(
I am going to start using more desktop icons just for these :>
Obligatory Steve Holt! comment incoming...
STEVE HOLT!
I need these made for iPod and put on Cydia... um... if you don't mind... *squeak*

@dantejasper
I have it. I got it from /wg/. You might still be able to find it I'm also willing to email it.
I like these icons very much, but I ALWAYS except on one occasion have to mess with new icons.
I have been fiddling, trying to get em to look good, but i cant.

Horray! Ponies on my dock! My Macbook is now 20% cooler.
If Celestia is System Preferences, doesn't that make Luna the Terminal?
I have to admit, the window ones do look very pixilated D:
if you could fix that it would be awesome!
The icons are scrunched quite smaller than their 200x200 source size, even though I've increase the size of the desktop icons.
Well it's apparent that the Windows icons are broken according to everyone.
Mac works fine, though.
Can't get skype or minecraft to give permission to allow me to change the icon. Oh well, I've got Firefox and Steam working.
Do want but cant has.
Anyone up for making alternate RD and Applejack for the non-gamers among us? Feels weird not having the mane 6 there...
sweet cant wait to try them out
My resolution is too high, all the ponies are tiny XD
But great work nonetheless!
I converted the Mac Icons to the Windows .ico format. It should make them look much better on windows.

I found out that the Mac .png files work fine with Rocketdock, so if you want to go get that, you are welcome to for wonderful quality.

Got it!

The world thanks you Steven Holt!
I used the website convertico.com and took the MAC PNGs and converted them to proper 256x256 ICOs for Windows 7.
I then used this little program here:
http://bluefisch200.deviantart.com/art/Replace-Librarie-Icons-141648981
To change the Library Icons
http://i.imgur.com/KebaH.png
HHHNNNNGGGGGG!!! Overload!!!
Nice to see my fillies being put to use.
I can't change the icon for skype in windows 7 but I got others to work. Is there something special I need to do?
Also any chance of getting icons for VLC and bittorrent? I would love those.
Steve Holt!

I'm the same person that posted above, but I sucked it up and made alternate Rainbow Dash and Applejack ones.
Google Chrome Rainbow Dash:

Instant Messenger Applejack:
http://tinypic.com/r/i6xoc0/7
I also made one for Anki, a flashcard program

I'm thinking Applebloom ->VLC
and Sweetie Belle ->Garage Band
not sure about Scootaloo... maybe torrent?

ok i am the dumbass here but can anypony tell me how to do this since my read me fil wont show me how to do it
I really like those, but the set programs in not the one I use. I hope more will be made (like chrome and thunderbird).
Is there a ponychan thread for that where we can talk to the author?
Was I the only one who read this and instantly thought of AD? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rREGbLdOzfg
HAHAHA! I've been replacing all my icons on my mac now that I know how to! PONIES EVERYWHERE!!!!
Sorry, but I have to.
STEVE HOLT!
Moar liek, Steve Colt, Amirite?
And us Linux user left behind once again... =C
STEVE HOLT! Ponies and an Arrested Development reference? Best post ever
STEVE HOLT!
How is the iPhoto icon NOT Photo Finish?!
@Anonymous
Because a Photo Finish filly has yet to been created
Can anypony out there help me change my icons to these? My comp wont properly open the read me file and only shows a bunch of symbols.
These are awesome!
Granted they're pixelated (as everypony has said by now), but I still dig them.
@Anonymous
I couldn't find it ... if you could email it it would be much appreciated. Dantejasper@live.com
yay! these are great, need set a few more. added Fire Pony and Scratch Tunes
Oh dear. Ponies have spread to my dock. It's only a matter of time before I start doing the case up in rainbow stripes and plaster Derpy eyes on the back.
Curious why Rarity was used for iPhoto instead of Photo Finish.
Tip for Windows users:
1. Get ObjectDock (it's free)
2. Put your shortcuts on the dock
3. Swap its icons for ze ponies
4. Your PC is now 20% cooler
YAYY!! Now my macbook is gonna be ponyfied!!! :D
Hoping for a Philomena Thunderbird icon soon.
