Some technical notes:
The GTK J icons are 48x48 pixels. The colored J icons are 128x128 pixels.
These new icons are 128x128 with the old 48x48 term and edit enlarged and inset
in the 128x128 J. The original ones I did were the 48x48 icons with a 24x24
pixel J inset.
I did find the old 48x48 term and edit icons did not fit well with my Win7
usage
habits when I tried using the GTK GUI. They did not jump out as J-related
windows in the task bar or in the alt-tab selection list. I did find my
updated
48x48 icons not as helpful as I had hoped.
I like the 128x128 icons. They seem to fit nicely in the Term and Edit window
title bars, in the task bar and in the alt-tab icon list. The new icons do
seem
to have darker borders around the "J". I'm not sure if that is an artifact of
Photoshop saving the PNG or Win7 shading the new icon image. A project for
later.
