As I’ve said before, I am constantly changing how my Windows looks. This may not be the peak of productivity, but it makes me comfortable and let’s me work in an environment I like. Finding icons for my “hobby” has actually been one of the harder tasks. Yes, I know there are hundreds of sites and so on, but many of the icons look old, something from the Win 98 era.
I found a huge archive of icons at Icon Archive, and so far I haven’t seen those 256 color ones I so dread. Personally, I don’t like realistic icons either, I prefer the abstract, things that are icons, not small pictures. You can find both here types here in folders ranging from people icons to system icons.

Thanks for the tip!
I’m on a constant alert for “better” icons.
Just to spice up things etc.
But the hardest thing for me is to find “sets” of icons,
because I want them to be consistent and have the same look-and-feel, at least within one application or area of focus.
First impression of IconArchive: there categories contains sets, so I think you’re article helps!
Bye, Joël

Hi Joel!
Yes, I totally agree. The problem I have with sets is that they usually don’t have the one important icon I need
I have tried modifying on my own, but alas my photoshop skills are not that great yet.
Also, I have been looking for Windows Live Folder icons, has anyone seen one somewhere?
