Pixel pushing in a 16x16 box only gives you 256 pixels to play with. If anyone out there thinks it is easy to come up with things that look reasonable I suggest you try it. Personally I think pixel art is a very enjoyable passtime. Nice work. Pixel pushing in a 16×16 box only gives you 256 pixels to play with.

Create an adjustment layer and select Hue/Saturation. Play around with the options presented and you're good to go. That aside, nice icons. :) (Love the site, btw.)

GIF is also a nice file format that is recognized by just about every type of graphics program out there, both Mac and Windows. As to offering the PSDs, I like the suggestion of giving them for a few extra bucks. Then the people that would actually need them (in order to, for example, tint them) would be able to do so, while people who wanted to use them as-is would have that choice. But in any case, great work on those icons!

I sometimes try playing around with Photoshop to create some, but have never reached a usable set, heh. What would be the icons needed in a set for a website? What would you say is the list of items that should be included without fail? Cool, another nice icons set.

I am planning to switch over to macs for good so saving every cent possible or I would buy a set. Did you use Icon Factory? I think offering the master PSDs with a little extra $$ is a great idea too. Very nice indeed Dan. I am planning to switch over to macs for good so saving every cent possible or I would buy a set.
