Blizzard Icons Cleaned Up!!

[suicidalkatt]

I got tired of seeing old pre-BC styled icons mixed with BC and WoTLK icons so I decided to batch process all the icons into a clean format. 6,296 Icons have been altered.

This may seem like a large filesize, however this does not use any cpu usage or additional memory usage than simply running without it.

This also extends to any addon that uses the default game icons such as Power Auras Classic.

Example Pre-BC (Rounded edges no border highlight.):
TO

Example BC (Black corners):
TO

Example WoTLK (Added a black inner glow and a sharper border highlight):
TO


Install to Interface > Icons

Very nice (though i never noticed that that was a difference between them since i always used a border of some sort )

Also textures are loaded on-demand in wow so they will not even use memory unless they are needed just like the original icons would

Yea I've always found it to be rather distracting and almost maddening with power auras. I'd want to use a spell icon and it would just look terrible.

* no longer has that problem woot! *

have you checked Cata icons to see if they are different?

I haven't run the extractor and I'm patching atm but from what I've seen they're using the wotlk style icons.

Updated a power aura example:


There are a lot of new icons for some of the new abilities.

Mages have a few of them, paladins have a few new ones as well.

I'll have a cata version later on this next week and a "lite" version for the current.
