Marseilles Astronomical Error? EDIT: iconmaster answered
Is it me or are there only supposed to be 7 icons in this set? The zip file only contains 7, but on the free deliveries page, there are 8.

I have 8 in my download... weird.
austingirl on Oct 12, 2007
I guess I'll re-download. What about in the .gif file?
tamashii on Oct 12, 2007
wait - looks like the BMPs and the GIFs do not include the Galaxy icon. But it is in the PNGs and the TIFFs folder.
rossanyl on Oct 12, 2007
tamashii you are right! I have the same missing icon.
austingirl on Oct 12, 2007
@tamashii - Thank you.
@rossanyl - I have downloaded several times. tamashii is correct, the Galaxy icon is excluded in the BMPs, GIFs (& ICOs).
misterhaan on Oct 12, 2007
i posted that in iconmaster's box -- hopefully someone will see one of those and add the missing galaxies. it's also missing from the ICOs
austingirl on Oct 12, 2007
@misterhaan - Yes it is. I stated that in my previous post. I also posted this in icomaster's box.

Hey folks, good on you for catching this one. The galaxy icon couldn't be massaged into a decent-looking 8-bit icon, so I excluded it from all 8-bit formats (GIF, BMP and ICO, which includes both 32- and 8-bit resources).
Normally I'd consider the inability to translate a design into 8-bit a sign of a bad icon, but in this case I liked my galaxy enough to keep it in the set and compromise.
You can still use the PNG or TIFF versions.

It really IS a nice set, iconmaster.
misterhaan on Oct 12, 2007
thanks for clearing things up! i'll just make my own 32-bit only ico files from the png files then.

@iconmaster - Thanks for clearing things up!

I, as misterhaan did, have created my own 32-bit .ico from the .png, I enlaged the original up to 1200x1200 pixels then reduced them to the size and format needed.
Arrr...

Btw, the set is excellent...easily would have been a Diamond release...
Psy2k on Oct 13, 2007
@elnitido: I agree! This set and Amsterdam Arctic would have been a Diamond for sure!
elnitido52 on Oct 13, 2007
Aye!
elnitido52 on Oct 13, 2007
