The other classic from back then was Fugue: https://p.yusukekamiyamane.com/

Skeuomorphism died a rightful death but good lord could people design a good icon back in those days. My personal favorite designer of that era was Jonas Rask: https://iconarchive.com/artist/jonas-rask.html

You'll still occasionally see his icons pop up in TV shows and movies when they need to show a macOS-like design.

We used these at Fog Creek for Kiln. One of my onboarding tasks (c. 2013) was to add @2x versions so they would look better on my Retina MacBook Pro. Not all of the icons had @2x though, so I did my best with GIMP and the ones that did exist.

Ah that takes me back. Also see Everaldo's Crystal icons.

Can’t believe that resource is still up. I recall a post about HN’s first ever front page having these as a submission. Good URLs don’t change.
