I'm trying to build a history of Stardock icons

Nice, pelaird! Did you pm Sean? I bet he has them all.

Windowblinds 4

ObjectDock Plus

Impulse

CursorXP

(This is the original CursorXP icon)

- and there was Stadock Virtual Desktops & Virtual desktops Enhanced, WebBlinds, Tweak Vista, ObjectBar, Control Center, Desktop Pet and I'm sure there were a bunch more...

Thanks for the info Jan.

I have the CursorXp icon, but the one you are showing I have also seen. I had seen I the WindowBlinds 4 icon, but I wasn't sure it was an official icon or fan made. I'll look into Impulse and the others you mentioned.

Look again at the ObjectBar icon above and see if it rings any bells. Do you know what version it might be?

I think there was another one prior to this one, but I no longer remember or have it.

Impulse was a multimedia/game distribution platform sold to Game Stop, I think.

Correct. Was also for MyColors.

Jan's list is the good one, but Stardock Central is missing from it. That was how Object Desktop got delivered before Impulse turned up, and it had an icon of its own.

The delivery clients are the hard part of a project like this. Nobody keeps the installer for a storefront that has been shut down, so those icons go first, and they were the ones people actually looked at every day. Something that shipped once and sat in a folder is easier to recover than the thing you opened every week to see what was new.

The version question worries me more than the missing entries. One icon per product is going to be wrong somewhere. My dock has not worn the same face the whole time I have had it, and I doubt ObjectBar did either. Better to leave a slot marked "later version" than to pick one and get corrected.

Most of these icons were picked up from Stardock's Additional and Legacy Software pages.

I was aware of Stardock Central, but was unable to find an icon for it.

Stardock Cental's icon was the 'Stardock' logo itself...you have it up there already.

Thank you.  

Fair enough, and that answers it. Though for a project like this it leaves the slot ambiguous rather than filled, because I would want a date on it. I do not think the corporate mark stayed identical across the whole run of Central, and if it moved at all, the honest entry is the logo of the year rather than the logo.

Same problem I had with my dock, only this time it is the company wearing the different faces.

The Legacy Software page explains the gap as well. It lists the software, and Central was the thing that delivered the software, so it was never going to appear on there. Anything in that category has to come out of people's memories rather than off a page, which is the argument for collecting them while the people who ran them are still about.

I'm not sure what any of this has to do with me wanting to build a collection of Stardock software icons. It's not helpful and just sounds argumentative.

Best you'll get for that is the Version is  v2.86 with an install date of January 4, 2015... the date of this OS install on my machine ...

pelaird...just a thought, but perhaps the SD Art dep't. has what you need? I can try to reach out if you wish? You have mail.
