OpenX 2.8–the newest stable release of the open source ad server has just been released. If you haven’t heard of OpenX before, check out the OpenX site to learn more.

With the new version of OpenX, I’m releasing an update to our free icon set (version 2.0) for the OpenX 2.8 admin.

221 Reworked Admin Icons

The release of OpenX 2.8, which brings a lot of performance, functionality and visual changes also includes a lot of new icons and images in the admin section.

Since I was going to add new icons to the set anyway to make it compatible with OpenX 2.8, I decided to rework the entire set. This version moves away from the Silk-based icons used in v1.0 to icons based on the Fugue icon set.

That ended up being 221 newly reworked icons for this set.

What Does This Icon Set Do?

The EsDev OpenX Admin Icon Set (EDOA) is a drop-in replacement for about 98% the images and icons used in the default OpenX 2.8 admin section.

It basically helps the admin section look more professional, and the icons match the rest of the user interface better than do the default icons.

Who Is This Icon Set For?

The EDOA icon set is for anyone running a self-hosted (as opposed to the hosted version on OpenX.org) version of OpenX; version 2.8 and above.

How Do I Use This Icon Set?

To install the new admin icons:

1. Make a backup of your OpenX images folder (and sub folders) located at: [openx-directory]/www/admin/assets/images/
2. Extract the EsDev-OpenX-Admin-Pro-Icons-v2.0 ZIP to your harddrive
3. Copy the images folder (and sub folders) to [openx-directory]/www/admin/assets/images/ — thus replacing the entire images directory (and sub directories)
4. Clear your browser cache and log into the OpenX admin to see the new icons in use

License and Use

Linking Info

All we ask is that you don’t redistribute the zip file on any other site, but rather link to this post.

When providing a link, do not link directly to the icon set–instead, link to this post:

Show Your Appreciation

If you use this icon set and enjoy it, show your appreciation by giving a small donation. Any amount is appreciated.

I want to thank John Linden, CTO of OpenX for giving me a heads up about the upcoming release of OpenX 2.8 and the encouragment to update the icon set.
