    i normally don't post stuff like this, but ... the dude who runs macintoshrepository.org sure is a piece of shit

    i had noticed several years ago that he was scraping macintoshgarden.org mercilessly, then reposting the same files on his own site. as a user, it was just mildly irritating.

    last year i spent a day extracting and converting the PixelJerk icon set by hand, so it could be used in OS X and System 7/8/9 again. it was a lot of work.

    I uploaded the packs to macintoshgarden.org. it's one of the best mac preservation communities there are.

    today i found all of those files uploaded with identical filenames on macintoshrepository, and the kicker: he didn't even bother to credit anyone for the work: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/70538-pixeljerk-os-x-aqua-icon-collection

    archival work is a time consuming and often thankless job. the very least we can do in this community is credit people for their unpaid labour.

      Attached: 1 image i spent the weekend researching mac os x Aqua interface elements, and stumbled upon this classic collection of #OSX icons from 2000. in the early 2000s, PixelJerk aka Samuel Krueger was one of the first to publish high-quality Aqua-themed icons for the new Mac OS X operating system. few other icon designers demonstrated such skill and creativity with their icon sets. it took the entire day, but i (by hand) converted each of these 200 Macintosh Icon format files into PNG and ICNS formats used in modern macOS. 😓 pixeljerk.com has been offline for 20 years... huge thank-you to macmonkies.com for keeping the only copy of these icons that exists on the web! macOS version: https://rootmarm.com/pixeljerk_icons/PixelJerk_macOSX_ICNS.zip png version: https://rootmarm.com/pixeljerk_icons/PixelJerk_PNG.zip macintosh system7/8/9 version: https://rootmarm.com/pixeljerk_icons/pixeljerk_pack_macintosh.zip mac garden entry: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/pixeljerk-os-x-aqua-icon-collection
