Desktop icons for Megaglest needed!
« on: 4 June 2010, 11:31:34 »
Hi we need desktop icons for megaglest. Anyone has ideas or want to do them?

We need icons for:
- Megaglest itself
- the editor
- the g3d-viewer
- and maybe the setup tool.

( the icon in my signature was made by my son, should we use this, or can you do better ones? )

I think that looks a bit dark, I think it should be colorful.

I like them , but they are useless because they look really bad when you resize them to the needed size. the original icon has a size of 48x48.
If you use it in the taskbar where its only shown in 16x16 ( I think)  it just look slike a green spot :/ . We need something different.

Yeah, I think Modman's icons are good...but also, GAE already uses them, so someone might as well create different ones...  ::)

Why not use them? They work fine for GAE. Of course, that may be the reason not to, but at least the map and g3d ones haven't been used (yet).

They should look fine when resized because they do for GAE. No harm in sharing an icon, but if you don't want to, you can just use the other two and/or edit the glest one.

In the taskbar, size differs, since they generally will be bigger icons with a bigger task bar (ie: windows 7 by default has a bigger taskbar (but also a lame method where it defaultly hides the text, fortunately changable)). But for the most part, the icons don't matter too much in the taskbar as they do on the desktop/startmenu/fence/file browser.

We only used the Glest 'G' icon though, the 'g3d' and 'map' ones I would love to use too, but as titi pointed out, they don't scale so well (even just down to 32x32).

Oh, well, I thought GAE used all 2 of them.
Well, that's something (maybe) for modman to fix,after he finishes his studies.
(less then one week?)

What are the exact specifications? size must be 16x16? color preferences? Do we need fonts or are symbols acceptable?

Colored folder icons look decent until we can find better replacement types.

Look at the original glest.ico in your installdir. It has 3 layers of 48x48 32x32 16x16
The icon should be readable/recognizable in these 3 sizes.

Something like this? Or do you want abstract images with particle bursts and flares?

SVG formar is from InkScape program, a free (open source) vector-line editor.
