This is a project run entirely from here at the Almanack. The only things not totally original are the scans of the book covers, and the fonts- although I did have to scour the net for them
(N.B. the icons and backgrounds from the Discworld games have not been included, as these are commercial sources and covered by copyright laws. I've had to hire an imp to feel guilty for me just because of the cover scans.)
HAHAHAH, YOU CAN'T SEE THIS!!!!
| Icons | Cursors | Backgrounds | Fonts |
Download the lot, in a handy .zip file please
a few new things up since
Jan- Death Of Rats and the UU Stamp, and three new fonts
Technical bit:
All this stuff has been designed for use with Windows 95 and 98,
and was made against a dark blue or black background, so they may not
look so good on others. Oh, and the actual size will vary with your
screen resolution, having been designed on a 800 x 600 desktop.
To use the icons, right click on the shortcut and select "properties", or
if its a system icon, download shareware of the
Microangelo program and play with that.
To use cursors, go to your Control Panel and select Mouse Options.
To use the backgrounds, right click on the desktop and select
properties.
To use the fonts, just drop them into C:/windows/fonts and any folders
for paint programs.
any problems, or even better suggestions, then feel free to mail me, and I'll put up a FAQ page, or get to work.
| Luggage Recycle Bin This is my favorite. Replace your boring old recycle bin with the famous luggage, wich will open and swallow your files without a trace. | |
| Discworld Icon A tiny little turtle, with four tiny little elephants, and a tiny little world on the back. And surrounded by a tiny little sun and stars. Just one aspect seems to be wrong. Hmmmmm..... | |
| Granny's Hat Nice, but it probably means that Granny is around somewhere..... so, erm, I'll just leave it with you..... | |
| Granny's Card ....oh no, looks like she's off borrowing, so I expect we can borrow it. Urrrr..is that crow outside glaring at me?...... | |
| Wizards Hat Nice and pointy, good enough to adorn the scalps of the best thaumerturlogical practitioner. | |
| Octagrams And what place of magic is without a decent magical octagram. One that you can see clearly, and one with something materialising inside it. | |
| Wizards Staff Complete with magical glow and knob on the end. | |
| Uneen University stamp Okay so it's pretty small, but I asure you its accurate. Generally. | |
| Death's Scythe See it gleam....now duck! | |
| Life Timers Icons of two timers, one of an unlucky person, and one of someone not unlucky yet | |
| Death of Rats Just hope he hasn't come for your computers mouse... |
| Hand Of Death Eventually His bony fingers will grasp your desktop... | |
| Pretty Star Loosely based on the Discworld Games cursors, a litle twinkling magical thingy. |
