[Icons] Taped Up
Okay, these have been floating around for a while, I posted them in WIP ages ago, and actually finished them a while ago as well.
So here they are for release, there are the file icons which I think are good, two app icons which are nothing special and some extra Stuffit Expander related file/toolbar icons and resources. It's all explained in the release pack so I don't bore you here.
Hope you like them and use them. Feedback appreciated, hopefully my work is improving.
P.S My previews are always embarrassingly poor. I shall try harder in future.

Re: [Icons] Taped Up
I love these!
Noob question though, how do I change the .zip filetype on my mac? I get that for .rar its the application, in my case UnRarX. But I use the default Apple unzip utility for my .zip files, (Archive Utility) which does not show up in CandyBar.

/Library/CoreServices/Archive Utility.app/Contents/Resources/ (starting from your main hard drive 
)
EDIT: BTW, I love this icon (and it fits Chromatic nicely 
)

Re: [Icons] Taped Up
Great!
Any chance of more colors though?
Eg: Complete files set with one colour.
Maybe releasing the PSD for even more filetypes:
7z, ace, adf, adz, amiga, bin, bz2, cab, dms, gz, hqx, jar, lha, rpm, z

Re: [Icons] Taped Up
Thank you for the nice comments
I have made a PSD set. Sorry it isn't simpler, but it was a lot more work than it seems just to combine them into a fairly usable PSD. One PSD for each size, containing all the colours I used. You can use the hue/saturation tool to make new colours and you can change the colour of the text using the text tool. (Basically I made it so you don't have to fiddle in layer effects.)
You have to be careful not to have more than one envelope visible, otherwise the shadows double up or worse.
I shall also do a few more myself, (finish off the file types The Unarchiver can support) but the PSD shall do for now.
DOWNLOAD PSDs HERE
Finally for those that don't use Stuffit, a little preview of what Taped Up does to it.

YAY, I was hoping to hear that. Unarchiver was the first thing I thought of when I saw the preview. Looks like it really spruces up Stuffit though, if I had it installed.

Re: [Icons] Taped Up
Thanks again for the positive comments!
Quick question, if i want to do more file types, as i said, to finish of the Unarchiver, how should I colour them?
Because the colour coding will get lost doing all of these (Z, RPM, LHA, JAR, HQX, GZ, EXE, DMS, CAB, BZ2, BIN, Archive, ADZ, ADF, ACE, 7z).
I know most of those are very rarely seen, 7z, Jar, Bin and Exe will be most common. But what do you think is the best way to do it. Should i just do all the obscure ones in a single colour?

Maybe grouping them?
SIT & HQX (both are from Mac)
ZIP, Z, 7Z (similar name? not sure if they have something in common)
RPM, CAB, EXE, JAR (compressed application packages?)
(GZ & TGZ) + (BZ, BZ2, TZ, TZ2) (same kind of compression)
Not sure about the other ones...

It's awesome, 32 pxl are perfect, congrats!
I'm too lazy to make myself, but I'd like to have a set for The Unarchiver.
