This Icons were made to be used in Docks, like RocketDock, RKlauncer, ObjectDock, etc…

I was searching for a nice Text Dock Icons different from the usual simple Text Ones.

Found this ones Bubble Icons by neodesktop.

Problem was they were for Mac, and didn’t find any Windows Version (PNG format). So decided to make my owns as they are very simple to make. The only boring part is to make 200 hundred of them.
I included the master .PSD so you can make more if It’s missing from the default set.

If you’re looking for a Dock for Windows, I recommend using this RKLauncher Dock Compilation (iVista Leopard).

If I have any mistake on them please leave a comment.

DeviantART Link. You can also find them in my Showcase Section.

Download them here [3.72 MB].

    It’s not Rocket Dock, it’s RK Launcher. It comes with the iVista RK Launcher pack.

    @greven –

    I also am using these, like the look for my background.
    Also would it be ok if I add some more to the pack and make it available for download at another site?

    Thanks Again and Nice Job!

    By the way, are these free for commercial use? I was wondering if I could use some in the design of a website. I won’t be selling them or anything, of course. And I put my own text in them. If I dont get a response then I’ll ask on the DA.

    I love these icons!

    Thanks for making them Windows compatible.

    FYI–They also work just fine with ObjectDock on Windows 7 :)

    Thanks CJ. :)

    I didn’t just make them compatible, I made them on my own, but of course after seing the ones I mentioned in the post. :) So not my original idea, let’s say.

    Greven–Oops… sorry, I realize you made the icons based on someone elses orig design, BUT I still do appreciate all your hard work on them too :)

    Incidently, I just had to make a few new icons myself so thanks for the psd. Im just a beginner with Photoshop.

    Thanks again–CJ.

    These icons are amazing. So beautiful and elegant. And the PSD came in really handy. I made a screenshot of them on my desktop. I changed the color of the text for the program names and made a few custom ones. http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/6240/screenshot59201073301am.jpg
