I was bored with rows of yellow folders, and the gfw.ico files that ship with GOG games aren't consistent with similar icons with other games, so I started making my own.
These are very easily made by using Icon Generator Pro (http://gog.is/icon/generator/pro) and IcoFX (http://gog.is/icofx), so I don't claim any artistic excellence here. However, I've tried to make the colors represent the dominant theme of the game or cover art, and I think it looks quite nice.
The end result isn't exactly exciting, but is a heck of a lot more interesting than rows of yellow folders. I thought I'd make the few icons I've done so far available to the GOG community. (I haven't done all GOG games, just the ones I have, and some other custom folder stuff.)
Screenshot attached. Download the icons I've made here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/e3edmkzho65us4p/adobe_style_icons.7z
