The htaccess disalowed direct requests (entering the url to an image in your browser)
Now you should be able to see the pics? (Iv allowed direct requests)

Well... I'm really a fan of the small (16x16) icons... but that may just be me... (and really, I'm not the guy it's important to please here, but... whatever.)

I don't like the thinner looking folders... personally... and, although nice and original, the ones Aliencowfarm posted will never fit this theme...

As to the second set of purple ones from A.M.A, I don't want to get sued by M$ for the first ones, but the second ones look pretty nice - although skinny again.

I tried to take a shot at it...
Doesn't look that good, but they do look open, I think... except the poll one, which is why I made the second one..



And... this is the old blue set, but I think they can easily be "puplified" so to speak.. that is, if someone who actually was decent with graphics could mess with them...  I do think open might be enough to signify that you posted in it... not sure, but I think so..

I know they need a bit of work... but, does anyone think they are in the right direction?  Do they look like "participation" to you?

to be honest - I think the open and closed when it's that small is too subtle.  If it's that small I think we'd need a colour variation.

Fari 'nough... that was exactly what I was asking.

Should they open and turn red?  Or is red to strong... should it be yellow?  A darker purple?

I don't joke when I say I know little to none about graphics.  I don't even dress well...

I know there are certain colors that go together... red/green, blue/orange, purple/yellow?  Should they turn yellow, then?

well I thought I could open a new post and make them

I think gray is a good contrasting color with purple... and just about any color

I'll make some gray and yellow ones real quick...

I got to get packing I get gray in a few, reverting to a gray scale is gona take a minute to get the pixels right.



first ones, just lining them up!

Cool!  I can't believe I actually helped!

So... is everyone cool with this?  Which looks better?

I like the colored version. For me its sufficient when the participated color is slightly different.

[morph]

I like all of the colors

I like the idea but they look to rough.

[klumy]

the new icons looks good. I also like the folder idea. But I think the shades could be better like on this image. Maybe increase the colour depth of the icons?

I don't like the gradient effects.  If you don't give it texture it looks ugly.  Doesn't fit with this forum...

Thank you!
I'll do some optimisation tomorrow (adjust the colors, ect. to make them look better in this theme) and make some of the other variations as well
