I drew a simple icon that COULD be used as a replacement for the current one. I don't know if anyone of you likes it, so please tell me what you think. Tell me if you like it, if you hate if, what could be done better, etc.
Heya,
Typically icons have to be totally redrawn in the Gimp for 16x16 and other small sizes according to Jimmac. Here are some tips:
- Avoid perspective, at the sizes Wine works at (32x32 and 16x16) perspective just doesn't work. Draw them front on.
What about http://www.egore911.de/vype/wine/my%20computer/0.3/my% 20computer%20016x016.png I think it's still useable even used with perpective. And what about http://www.egore911.de/vype/wine/desktop/0.2/desktop%20016x016.png ? It's even less perpective.
- We don't need SVG or large sizes, because Windows doesn't use them. 48x48 is the max necessary and I'm not sure we actually use them in Wine (they are an XP thing)
Hmm, I suck at pixel based drawing. Therefore I drew them in SVG.
- I think the current file icon is OK, note that it's got a very clear solid outline. At small sizes the lines have been anti-aliased into grey which we don't want.
I will check if I can work around anti-aliasing problems.
