Another quick note for images that anyone would like to use for an icon in QDT. They need to have what I call hard edges. If you have an edge that goes from black to white in steps, for example, since I have not incorporated Marcel's alpha yet (coming later), if you put this kind of image onto a dark background it looks like it has a messy white/off white type halo - not a good thing.

If you want your image to have this kind of soft edge, then I can give it a solid color background. Be sure to let me know if that is your preference versus transparency.

Cheers,
jim

This is my last call for graphics for QDT icons before the upcoming release.

If anyone has a favorite program (especially their own) that they want a custom icon for in QDT for, you need to get it to me by Dec 31st at the latest (I would appreciate them before then if possible).

I can import any major format. Ideally they should be 40 by 40 pixels but in many cases, I can reduce them with Photoshop from as high as 48x48 unless there is too much tiny, critical detail.

If you want to design your own and you are using Photoshop or equivalent, please head to my web site to pick up the Photoshop color swatch with the colors that QDT uses. You can directly download it at:

For transparency, please use the last color in the swatch [named transparent] (my conversion routines will swap it into transparency).

If you have any questions about icons and QDT, please contact me at the email address given on the website.
