    Default Framed (maybe?)

    These are in all of my team/school themes, but I have never done
    a standard theme. My vision is an illumine sized complete icon
    collection. Anyways, leave some feedback good or bad.

    In my sports themes I use a carbon fiber background.
    It looks real nice, IMO.

    Any suggestions?

    I like the brushed look, like what is on the pic now...personally. But a background is easy to change.

    Actually, most of them were pretty easy. Just using the magic wand and selector tools in PS to delete the background. Some I made from scratch. Some were a pain in ***.

    ^lmao, sure pretty easy. I have made a ton of similar icons for hockeys themes (removing background) and for me, they where the hardest to make, some taking 20-30 minutes to make for a single icon. But the bottom line is they look awesome.

    um. interesting...
    i like the idea allot. it will give the user more of the wallpaper to look at. the only concern that i have is most people here only get themes and don't own photoshop, there fore you will have a lot of icon requests.

    i actually really like it and i cant wait to see any updates you come out with.

    @ rpgpromaster

    That was how this idea started. I wanted to see more of my wallpaper. So I used illumine sized icons then made them with transparent backgrounds.
