Index of all high-resolution Windows Vista icons

Changes in Windows Vista Beta 2 icons.

Note: The browsable collection of icon screenshots was removed on Microsoft's request.

Beta 1 icons first impression

Windows Vista Beta 1 contained 104 hi-resolution icons. When examining these high-resolution icons, you will notice that the general style used in Beta 1 icons is not uniform. Some icons have no shadow, some have a 3D-like shadow, some have classic shadow pointing to bottom right corner, some to the bottom left corner. Similar situation is with the reflection effects. Microsoft seems to still experiment with these effects and they will most probably change the icons in the final Vista build and give them more uniform look and feel. Nevertheless, the high-resolution graphics are very impressive and we are eager to see more of it in Beta 2 (planned for early 2006).

Unknown author (2006-06-20): To make screenshots, use Axilias IconWorkShop, the same that Vlasta have used, i believe ;)

Vlasta (2006-06-21): Not really, they were made using this custom tool. Just drag and drop icons on it and previews are created. (RW Icon Editor must be installed, otherwise the tool will fail.)
