Re: [lazarus] New icon for lazarus
Hi, this morning I felt like graphing... the print on the ground is a nice idea, so I tried to solve the problem of contrast and resolution in windows detail view, i.e. 16x16 icons. Contrast is solved by using the color of a cheetah instead of grey as a basic color + high-lining (English??) the prints with black. To make it more modern I added a point of light effect on the main finger print. From 48x48 to 32x32 everything scales well; in the 16x16 there is a resolution problem: scaling is too confusing, so I basically re-drew the same icon but changing the smaller prints. So, here's my result, anyone likes it ? cheers, Roberto 2007/12/21, Marc Weustink [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Vincent Snijders wrote: Marc Weustink schreef: wile64 wrote: I propose a new icon for lazarus, It can be used for whatever you want :) huh... this is a grey dot.

I found out too... default the smallest is shown here, after opening and browsing the icon images I saw the larger ones.

Re: [lazarus] New icon for lazarus
yeah, the 16x16 is too dark. In my 16x16 icon I made the print a few pixels thinner and I used a dark brown instead of black. On the other side, your icon_yellow 48x48 is much better (of course, you're graphically serious!) both in the smaller prints (mine were actually too greyish) and in the light, which is poured over in a better way. So, what about mixing it all ? If you make your 16x16 with thinner brown prints, so that it doesn't look so dark, it will be perfect! In the end we'll have one nice icon more, but should we really change the lazarus cheetah icon? Would it be so crazy to use the cheetah face in 48x48 and 32x32, but using the 16x16 cheetah print.

For the moment I am on the basic idea (color, shape ...), if it is used, I can do it more attractive. I do not like wasting time :) Regards, -- Laurent. My Components: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Wile64 French Forum : http://lazforum-fr.tuxfamily.org/index.php
[lazarus] New icon for lazarus
2007/12/21, John [EMAIL PROTECTED]: wile64 wrote: I propose a new icon for lazarus, It can be used for whatever you want :) (I have svg source) In principle it is fine, but it just looks like a grey blob on my screen. What colour background are you designing your icons against ? I have just a traditional mid grey, default on win32. While most of your icons look very good, quite a few lack contrast. Example - the toggle form/unit button isn't very clear, yet in its depressed state, it is fine. I will change a few who I do not like:) Also, using a paw print as an icon is fine (the current cheetah on the column is also completely unintelligible unless you know what it is), but if you replace ALL the cheetahs with paw prints every one will forget what it means. The new splash screen is fine as a watermark, and could be used as such in many places, but at least on the splash screen I think you should keep the cheetah on the column (on top of your background). It is nice and cheeky, and really is a good graphical statement of purpose. The cheetah and column very difficult in 16x16, I seek another idea for icon (not splash) cheers, -- Laurent.
