AFAIR ... i know that too and have previously agreed that i probably misinterpreted earlier emails from people at sourceger ill try and dig out the email from Eric from the archives if i can, but i am not claiming that we are allowed use the sourcegear artwork but i seem to be unable to say that clearly, i just dont like the ant. i will have to also dig up the mail where a user said people were spooked by abiword grabbing the file associations and the icons changing to a picture of a bug (they did not see Abi the ant as a friendly mascot). The point i was trying to make was by all means use the unix splash screen (but i disagree with reason martin gave for using it) and on the seperate matter, can we get a replacement icon for windows that is not an Ant. at this point i hate that ant so much i am more than happy to go with the unix 48x48 scaled down to 32x32 even if it does look blocky and pixellated.
