Thanks Alex. Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention: New icons should also be Retina Display compatible. It would cause quite a frustration if new icons looked blurry on new Mac displays. Just a reminder.
Apple provides optimization guides on these links: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/GraphicsAnimation/Conceptual/HighResolutionOSX/Optimizing/Optimizing.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012302-CH7-SW1 http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/userexperience/conceptual/applehiguidelines/IconsImages/IconsImages.html But I think these are already scalable, so if someone with a Retina display could test it, that'd be great. And Issa, thanks again for the great mock-ups. Best regards, Emir 20 Şub 2013 tarihinde 03:12 saatinde, Axel şunları yazdı: > Issa, nice work. My first choice goes to the colored version.
