More authentic XP icons

[dobragab]

Hello!

Awesome work, thanks!

I'd like to have some icons modified or added to make a more authentic look.

• In Nemo the Folder up icon looks like this:
  However, Windows XP Explorer has this icon as Up:
  (Taken from shell32.dll)
  
  

• Your battery icons are 16×16, but they are also available in 32×32 from batmeter.dll.
  
  

• System tray icons (Icons For Cinnamon #1) do not appear for me, I think because they aren't in scalable folder.

• User applet has no icon, I suggest one of these two figures:
  

• Archive icons are WinZip or WinRar icons, I suggest this as zip icon (taken from zipfldr.dll):
  

• System Monitor icon could be taken from taskmgr.exe:
  

• Terminal icon could be taken from cmd.exe:
  

Thanks!

@cinnamoner XP is no longer updated & it's dead

UPDATE: System tray icons didn't appear for me because I was connected via ethernet and was charging battery all the time. Wifi and charging icons appeared fine, so I guess only those two are missing from the status set.

@dobragab sorry for long delay. Got the same thing on my laptop, so maybe I can correct before january

@Elbullazul What a great project! I really like it!
I've done an amateur job myself, but it does't even come close to what the screenshot of your result looks like!
I would love to use your xp theme myself, but I have no clue how to. Could you help me out with a brief explanation how to install it on my own lubuntu system?

@Prikweg

1. Go to the Code Section (First Section) of this repository
2. Clone or Download > Download ZIP
3. Save the ZIP and Extract It
4. Show Hidden Files in your HOME FOLDER, and make sure a folder called .icons exists, if not, make it
5. Move the extraction-product folder to that .icons folder
6. Apply in LXAppearance

Fantastic! I'm a step closer to your result!
3 little details to go... At your screenshot it looks like you have to orriginal light blue for the system tray. And the close button at the right top in the titlebar of a window, is still blue. How can I make it red?
Finally, you have such a nice menu button, is it somewhere in the zip?

@Prikweg Using Cinnamon Desktop Environment with CinnXP Cinnamon?

Was this ever updated? The last change I see was 2 years ago.

@mknepper it was not, maybe I'll do it before the end of the month
