Description: Due to multiple requests I provide the xcf files of my Marbles icon set and a detailed tutorial on how to create more icons like that. I hope you enjoy my bad english. :-)Last changelog:
* new section about reasonably changing the colours of the Marbles
* new section about converting the completed Marble icons to 32x32 and 64x64 sizes
* corrected a few typos; reworked some minor parts
The commandline to unzip the compressed archive is
bunzip2 Marbles-HOWTO.ps.bz2
Sorry about the inconvinience, but without additional compression the package would have been too big for KDE-Look.
Thanks Markus! That should be the spirit here! We want to see more tutorials here on k-l-org! No just a different section, but a whole set of pages that explains how to build an icon-set, window decaration, step by step. THAT would be cool!
now I can throw away one of my own tutorials :P
I've been making 2 tutorials on how to create crystal icons, but I'm too lazy to finish them currently :)
(I'll upload my own tutorial in a few days)
Anyway, this one is also very nice ;)

I just downloaded the transparent icons you did and really like them. It's really cool of you to share this kit so we can do some of our own. Thanks.

maybe we should have a section for tutorials on kde-look.org or maybe artist.kde.org? Great work ! Fab
Thanks!
