I find a package with some nice icons, but they are dual png icons : Ken's DualPNG Icons.

The files into the archive are named *.info, but if you take a look at them, it is 2 png files in each file. When I open them with comix or gimp, only the first one of those 2 pictures is showed.

Is it possible to, at least, extract the 2 png files of such icons?

Save to info_split.py somewhere in your path, chmod u+x info_split.py, and info_split.py *.info. I haven't tested this much, but it seems to work with the info files you linked to.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
for arg in sys.argv [1:]:
    try:
        info_file = open (arg, "rb")
    except:
        exit (-1)
    info = info_file.read ()
    info_file.close ()
    pngs = []
    index = info.find (chr (0211) + "PNG")
    while index > -1:
        pngs.append (index)
        index = info.find (chr(0211) + "PNG", pngs[-1] + 1)
    pngs.append (len (info))
    n_pngs = len (pngs) - 1
    for n in range (n_pngs):
        png_file = open (arg + str (n) + ".png", "wb")
        png_file.write (info [pngs[n] : pngs[n+1]] )
        png_file.close ()

It was the best of all my pc. Simple, fast, reliable, easy to learn and use.

I am working on an amiga recipe for fvwm-crystal. It will mix the things I like into the amiga OS and the power of fvwm. It will be possible, among other things, to maximize into fullscreen almost any windows, and to cycle through them and the desktop.

Now that I have the 2 pictures of those icons, I will search how it can be possible to use them into fvwm in order to mimic the 2 pictures/states icons of the amiga OS. For now, it look like that : Clean Clean with menu busy

Try the last FVWM-Crystal release, you will be surprised. It include a clone of the Amiga stack of full-screened applications which doesn't compromise the traditional X multiple desktop pages, and with Thunar as desktop manager, the desktop icons are managed in fact by FVWM-Crystal and you will get 2 pictures icons like in the Amiga OS. I am currently working to add localized support with such icons for the xdg-userdirs like ~/Desktop, Music and so on.

It is an ebuild here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468680

The next release will be even better, with new features like a Bling bling module (automatic E17 like translucency support) and a very well working version of the FVWM Expose function.
