As a web designer who makes styles for forums I required the source files of the actual forum/topic icons. Unfortunately, the only files made available were the post icons mainly the ones with text. Since I recently started making premium styles for customers I needed a better method of customizing than using ColorizeIt regardless how amazing a site CyberAlien has made it and how useful it is for quick work. So I decided I needed to make the missing files for myself. And here they are, available to anyone who needs them. I made the replicas in Adobe Photoshop CS3, the source file is available at the link below.
The animated icons may be included in a future release. I tried to include all the icons missing in the official SDK so if you find anything missing, feel free to post here or on my site.

That would be because the animation would be frame by frame, and editing the colors would require editing each frame individually. But the animations are fairly simple as long as you know photoshop.
If you use filters and layers in adobe photoshop, you do not need to edit every image in an animation. You can create different layers for the different stages and in the animation choose which layers get shown in what frame of the animation. So as long as you don't touch the scrolling text all you need to touch are layers that can be in every frame.
I actually remade the images a while back (needed them in "brown" instead of "blue"), but I'm not so sure the phpBB team at large wants them to be distributed, so unless I hear they are OK with distributing these lookalike ripoffs, I'm not distributing.
BTW mine are partial bitmap, partial vector.
Looking at how the distributed images are, rest assured that they've not been made all in the same manner, so there's not going to be a master file they've misplaced.
