Possibly some of the best icon art I've ever seen
Published on February 4, 2008 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

One of my all-time favorite icons sets is Buuf by mattahan.  They have an amazing quirky style that looks almost like they're molded out of clay, and the names for the files are hilarious.  Back in 2006 a few of our skinners contacted mattahan asking if they could convert his icons to Windows (he's a Mac user).  He consented and we got the great Buuf icon set from rgerrans.

Well, turns out mattahan is at it again with a second Buuf set, and our friends at Shellscape have converted it for use with IconPackager, and provided a download with the original images in 128x128 png format.

The download is 100% free.  You can snag it here.

Actually,
I was going to suggest/beg for a Buuf WB 6 update. . .

Obviously, several of us are of the same mind!
Well, I add my name to the petition, and will enjoy these icons in the interim.

Thanks, guys. . . beautiful work, as was the first IP!!

I sent Gabriel this message on his page--and just in case he reads these:


Hey man (Gabriel), there are a few of us in the community who would like to humbly ask/beg for you to do a WB6 update to Buuf WB.

There seems to be a Buuf renaissance happening after the release of a new IP. I have always considered this my favorite WB of all time--tied with Vienna and Vienna2. So again, I lie at your feet in supplication. . . Buuf WB6 (for XP, and I guess Vista, too) would be the last great WB; the one which will cross with me the River Styx. . . Oh great one, PLEASE, I beseech thee in the name of all that is good and holy.


(I hope that wasn't a little much.)

I'd leave a note on the skin too.  I did.

Yeah thanks alot. I downloaded the icons and then used icon packager to change the folder icon to the batfolder icon. After changing the icon I now need to use command prompt to open my folders. Yeah real smart idea downloading these useless turds.

I'm not sure what you did incorrect but I believe you are being rather harsh there Adam Michael calling useless turds. I've never applied just one icon out of a set though. It works terrific and looks excellent here.
The WB's that are available really shine as well, I sure hope one of them gets updated, though Gabriels seems best.
