There is a particular icon library that I really like from DeviantArt.
Now, I have downloaded the package that has the png
files inside (I know the ico
files are there, but I want the png
files).
However, about my Windows 7 computer tells me that about 1/3 of the png
files are corrupt. I usually use XnView to view the files, and it won't display the "corrupt" files. I've tried other editors and viewers and I get the same issue.
Now, the png package was originally designed for Linux to be an OS-icon-package for the entire system, so I figure the png
files were built in Linux.
So, is there a way I can "fix" the "corrupted" png
files for my Windows 7 computer? Maybe when the files were created there was some bit that was off-colour or something?
Any clues?
[edit]
I have read in this thread that the "corruption" could happen during the extraction process. I did all the extraction with 7-zip. It was a zip
containing a tar
. I will try another extractor, but I don't think it will make any difference.
I think the answer might revolve around editing one of the beginning or ending bits in the binary file, but I'm not sure.
[update]
Okay, I fixed the link to the icon package... (the other one was fine) - but this new link is actually for the original package from DeviantArt.
I am going about it this way: I extract the contents of the .zip
folder and then extract the contents of the .tar
folder until nothing is compressed.
By way of an example, if you download that set, there is a file called add.png
in the 32x32\actions
folder. Another one is the 32x32\actions\bottom.png
. There are a lot in all the folders. An example of a good one would be the 32x32\actions\appointment.png
which is perfectly readable.
