The new icon is growing on me, mainly in that it clearly scales better. I think what is bothering me about it is mainly that the proportions see a bit off when compared to both other macOS icons and the existing vanilla and extended icons.
My 2 cents: * the new one is too wide and thin, doesn't quite fit into the overall square profile of the macOS icons * I don't think it needs the tilde * the bang button is too small * the line weight on the edges is too thin and gets lost on small zoom lenses as compared to the other icons * the horz center gradient is still a little much, maybe the more blurred gradient on the extended icon works better? * I'm assuming the font use is Deja Sans Mono? I think it just needs some tweaks to find a more middle ground with the vanilla and extended icon. > On Jun 28, 2017, at 4:56 AM, pd-dev-requ...@lists.iem.at wrote: > > From: Paul Rankin <he...@paulwrankin.com <mailto:he...@paulwrankin.com>> > Subject: Re: [PD-dev] Update to extended icons? > Date: June 28, 2017 at 3:10:48 AM GMT+2 > To: Miller Puckette <m...@ucsd.edu <mailto:m...@ucsd.edu>> > Cc: Dan Wilcox <danomat...@gmail.com <mailto:danomat...@gmail.com>>, > pd-...@iem.at <mailto:pd-...@iem.at> > > > Whichever you go with, here's a script for converting PNG files into retina > *.icns: > https://gist.github.com/rnkn/d29fcfbf1c46f9c1465468b8965175b6 > <https://gist.github.com/rnkn/d29fcfbf1c46f9c1465468b8965175b6> > > Input needs to be PNG 1024 x 1024. > > On Wed, 28 Jun 2017, at 11:01 AM, Miller Puckette wrote: >> Anyway, if there's better stuff about I'm happy to grab it. >> >> I have a copy of Pd extended (I think pretty much the latest one) >> squirreled away - I just stuck a copy of their icons here: >> >> http://msp.ucsd.edu/tmp/pd-extended-icons.zip >> <http://msp.ucsd.edu/tmp/pd-extended-icons.zip> >> >> I can't judge what makes a good mac icon (anything on a mac screen is >> ugly to me :) > > An emoticon closing a parenthetical?!? > > -- > www.paulwrankin.com <http://www.paulwrankin.com/> -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>
