Hi all, I think that there's a small *issue* with the new icons in Windows: I don't know how is the story on Vista (it seems it's becoming to be a problem developing on Windows and not having Vista to do tests...), but on XP icons must come as multiple icons to do a *good job*; on Linux that's not a problem, but XP just resizes icons and doesn't resample them (and that matters if they need to be displayed in a size different from the original). GRASS icons are in 64px size, while windows commonly uses 16 and 32px size.
I usually make icons in multiple format with the following sizes: 16, 24, 32 and 48 px. Using only the 64px size the icons on windows, even at 32px size, seem less definite and, surely, not beautiful as the originals. I attached an example that shows how icons appear on windows at 32px size (the most used, along with 16px size): on the left the original, on the right the modified version (I resized the original 64px icon to 16,24,32, and 48px images and saved all as multiple icon). Best regards, Marco
