cmeeks Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I think somebody creative ought to create a custom 650D icon for our devices and printers page. The icon for my PC currently looks like a modem! Oh, and an icon for my Samsung SyncMaster 206BW would be nice too! Can I change these icons manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MojoVersion8 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 got mixed feelings about Devices and Printers, sure the idea is awesome but my monitor, keyboard, and mouse show up at least twice each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 9, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 9, 2011 Thanks for taking the time to post that to everyone! Great Thread! Sticky Statues awarded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlawlessSoul Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 They're relatively easy to churn out, and if anyone can't do it themselves and needs a specific one (just realised theres no white 600t with a normal side >.>) then let me know. If you can provide a picture with a transparent background, even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmeeks Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Flawless, You made all those yourself?! Mad props to you, man! Thanks for taking the time to do that. I haven't had time to fiddle with it just yet, but I'll make sure to post my success story when I do! P.S. What software do you use to create the icons? Is there any good freeware to do it?

Anth0789 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 But how do you actually make your icon for 650D in there? You use Photoshop with the icon plugin. Example I did my rig: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grep1 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The real solution to this problem lies with Corsair. If Corsair contracted with a programmer who would create a metadata file for each product Corsair sells including a Custom icon, then submitted this metadata file to microsoft for addition to their database, it would automatically download this on installation of the product. The user would never even know this happened. It would be totally transparent to the user. He would just get the icon and the associated metadata package as if it was a driver. With the additional advantage of adding in Corsairs advertising along with this so everytime the user selected the devices properties, he would get a link to the support forums as well, This is a win/win situation for Corsair, and once this programmer completes his project they no longer need his services.

PieLam Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Those icons are really cool looking! I'd like to put them on my system. Would you tell me know how it's done? Never mind, after reading the whole thread, I seen options that I can try. Still, kudos to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MultiDoc Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hello all, May I ask anyone more knowledgeable and familiar with such icon producing/making software to make me one ? I am looking for an Obsidian 800D case icon (like the one i attach below) but I need it to contain the following sizes: 256x256 32bit + Alpha 48x48: 32bit + Alpha 48x48: 8bit 256 48x48: 4bit 16 32x32: 32bit + Alpha 32x32: 8bit 256 32x32: 4bit 16 24x24: 32bit + Alpha 24x24: 8bit 256 24x24: 4bit 16 16x16: 32bit + Alpha 16x16: 8bit 256 16x16: 4bit 16 I want it in order to use it as a replacement icon for "my computer" in "devices and printers" in Windows. Sorry to bother you all but if anyone is capable of making me one or already has one I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
