How to make Vista icons?

The question may seem semi-noobish just in his nature, but I used Photoshop and similar programs for the last 3 years of my life (I have just 17) and know my way well enough to work. I tried to make an icon for Vista (in fact Windows 7 RC, but it uses the same guidelines) and simply cannot operate. I have my icon made in a size of 256 x 256 and saved in .png. I have change the .xml file for my library that I want to the icon to go, but he simply modifies the default folder icon. XML coding is good, location is OK, so it should be in how I made the icon.

Now, I know that the default icon in the 'Vista guides' requires 256 x 256 and 11 other sizes; I thought it would just reduce automatically. I resize the icon manually in separate layers or what?

And I apologize if it's in the wrong place or this has been answered. I searched the internet for at least 30 minutes, searched this forum slightly and came up empty. Also sorry if this sounds more like a Windows problem rather than a question of Photoshop, but usually enter a Windows forum and request that you will have a bunch of garbage, because they may or may not have experience of making icons.

P.S. The PNG is not interlaced; should not make a difference, but I'm trying to cover all the little details.

  • How to make the icons of programs appears on the screen of windows 8

    Hi Thunderlight, you helped me with my last request and thank you again now I have another question that you might be able to help me with.  How to make the icons of programs appears on my screen of windows 8?  I had to download the debut8 when I had windows 8 so I would have the appearance of windows 7 until I have to use Windows 8.  And some of my icons of windows 7 on my windows 8, but not all.  How to go on my windows screen 8 tiles?   I now get more usage of windows 8 and use it more now so would like all my original programs that I had with windows 7 on my windows 8 as it is now tile.  I thank you and hope you can help.

    Hi Laura,

    In theory, when you switch from an earlier version of Windows to Windows 8 - as your installed applications are kept by the upgrade process, except those who are not compatible - you should find all your apps in Windows 8.

    If they all do not appear on your start screen follow these steps to pin them there:

    • [Win] + C
    • Search
    • Click anywhere in the top middle of the screen to hide the charm bar

    All installed applications are displayed. They do not necessarily correspond on a single screen to use the horizontal "lift" to bottom of the screen to move to the right / left

    • Right-click on an application, you want to pin to the start screen
    • Click on Pin to Start at the bottom left of the screen

    You are finished. A mosaic of this application is available on the start screen.

    If there is an application, you are sure is installed on your PC and you don't think through the steps made me know - there will be more complex...

    If you install a new application under Windows 8 the corresponding tile is automatically added to your start screen.

    Hope this helps

    See you soon

  • How to make Vista partition on the HARD drive as first with recovery CD

    Hello

    I want to format and retrieve information from my 'Vista' (C: / /) partition, which is the first. But when I choose the option "Format and recover to a first partition on your hard disk (without RE) ' the computer began to recover in" Type of Partition: windows NT NTFS (ID: 07) "whose size is only 1.50 GB.

    In the middle of the process, it shows not 'enough space on a disk.

    Question: How to make a 'vista' first partition? What is 'the first partition' in the second formatting option and recover the system?
    Thank you for your answers

    Hello

    Sorry, but you will not be able to do. I know it's a bad situation but if you use the first option that the whole HARD disk will be formatted and C new partition created. Second option, that you can not use at all. I tested it with my Satellite A100.

    I called Toshiba and they said that Toshiba work on new recovery options and new notebooks will have the best recovery option. Something like old installation expert ghost mode.

    I know it's wrong, but unfortunately there is nothing to do.

  • How to make the icon that indicates the caps caps disappear from windows 7?

    Hello world
    I am new to windows 7 but I am very happy with it, is great. However... There is something that I find very annoying and would like to settle as soon as possible a solution would be very welcome.
    I'm a trigger easy person when it comes to using earplugs I love and does not hesitate to she and I certainly don't want to turn them off, but I want really is to make the icon that pops up saying on the Caps hats disappear; It stops typing you for a second or two, but it is not that I don't want this crap appearing all the time, I find it very boring and does not prevent my goal when studying... HOW CAN I RESOLVE THIS ISSUE?

    HEY... Thank you.
    Someone told me Quickset but could not find it in my pc, guess there is a chance, I don't know where to look, but start certainly did not show it. or maybe it is not yet in the system.
    I contacted Samsung support by electronic mail and gave them as much detail of the pc as possible, except the number of pc, because I didn't have the box again but all similarly subsequently found in tiny and the same silver color on bottom of laptop PC. I was not thinking straight at the time to think and look at the bottom of the pc.
    What they did was to send me a link to a forum and say that it wasn't anything to do with them or others... not very helpful at all, but will contact them again with all the details.
    I'll deal with them and see if they like this for me.
    Thanks :)

  • How to make the icon of power available to limited users

    I use a laptop computer that I just upgraded from Vista to XP. I installed XP from scratch and I noticed that the switch for power profiles that doubles as a indicator on if I use electricity or battery disappears when the laptop is plugged.
    This only occurs with a limited account. the two admin accounts have no problem with the icon. I can't change the option "always show the power indicator" in the control panel of a limited account because it is grayed out.

    Is it possible to give this back to everyone in the local group users so that everyone sitting at the console can see it?

    http://www.Flickr.com/photos/10736018@N05/sets/72157626814371364/

    In short, how can I do so that the options in question are not greyed out, while maintaining the principle of least privilege?
    I don't want to cut too many security restrictions, even for my own account, but I don't want to give access to things I need.

    If I need to look for some sort of additional drivers to install from the manufacturer's website, please tell me what to look for (BIOS, chipset, ACPI). I installed only the drivers for things that had a yellow question mark in Device Manager. If there is no yellow question mark, I assumed that the drivers built into Windows XP SP3 were adequate and did not bother to download. They were on the site for a reason, however. Until I have a problem, I have seen no reason to bother.

    Here's a better, more permanent solution:

  • How to make Vista Explorer/folder look like XP Explorer/folder

    I love my XP machines. I tried a Vista machine a few times, but could not stand his fanciness. I just bought a new laptop. Vista is the only option for the new laptops at Best Buy and Dell. So now I'm stuck with Vista. I changed the interface classic Windows, removed the sidebar, added all the icons on the desktop, like XP. However, I can't find a way to change the Explorer and folder in the XP-like Explorer and folder.

    For everything that Vista offers that I am not fancy, style Vista Explorer and folder structure are the only thing I absolutely can't stand. It makes me dizzy, it moves with the mouse - to above, there is no button to the TOP, the look of crowded folders (not clear from who's who a subfolders). Please, help me find a way to restore the folder from Vista to XP structure. Otherwise, I have to rebuild a new laptop to use XP, and I don't want to do if I have an easier choice.

    Thank you!!

    Hello XP user,.

    Thank you for posting.  There is no way to get Explorer from Vista to have the folder structure of the Explorer in XP that you are interested in using the features and tools in Vista.  You maybe able to do it with the 3rd party tools and/or applications.

    Please let me know if this helps you. Zack

  • How to make Vista run as 32-bit 64 - bit?

    Hello... I was just downloading the games and one of them gave me a message that he attested, I was running 64-bit Vista (Home Premium) and the game may not work correctly. Then he said that if I had problems I could verify that my documentation and make the computer run as if it were 32-bit. He then asked if I wanted to continue with the installation, that I made, and installed the game. I have not tried to run the game, but my question is to make the computer run like 32-bit: is - this complicated (I used a level of basic knowledge)? I can do it JUST for the games, or it will change my computer everything? Should I do it?
    A second question is: we have to treat this whole compatibility issue, once again, with the new Windows 7? I had barely become accustomed to XP!

    Hello Debtittle,

    I worry too much having 64 run as 32-bit.  All the 64 bit version of Windows, run 32-bit programs very well.  all 32-bit programs will work on 64-bit and 32-bit programs.  the 64-bit versions of operating systems were mainly created to solve the problems of the amounts of maximum ram limit (it is an extreme simplification).
    Regarding compatibility, as long as you are not trying to play a game or a program of the Win2000 or prior eras, then you shouldn't have too many problems. I have a simple philosophy: just assume everyone is a piece of _ and then be pleasantly surprised if you find someone who is not.

  • How to make Vista use less RAM?

    OK, here's the deal... I got this computer from October 17, 2008. RAM is juicy until the past few days. I started noticing almost ALL the time my OS uses a total of 75 to 86% of RAM. It does not reflect the performance.

    Also, the Windows Task Manager says I on 65 running processes. I show processes from all users, and I can't just equal up to 800 megabytes.

    My computer has 1 gigabyte but reads 980Mb. So my question, how is using up to 86% during normal operations, while I'm only about calculate 56% use?

    OK, gotcha now. Looks like that you see right SuperFetch works like it's supposed to... "SuperFetch is trying its best to use as much RAM as possible, because if you have it you could thus make use." ;-) William Keener | Blog
