I think it could be a good option to extend the icon to 130x130 and leave a zone at the bottom 30 lines to draw the text on top.

I havent found such software too, but it should be easy to write some simple Qt app to display and convert .pic file. There is class called QPicture that can be used for it: http://doc.qt.digia.com/stable/qpicture.html Regards Radek ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [QtMoko] main menu screen proposal
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in previous email you wrote, you want to make icons bigger, right? If so, there wil be less space to add text. Bigger icons with text included (drawn) in it, otherwise I mean small icons with text under them. But I understand that a picture can tell more than a sentence, so here [1] a complete mock-up of the proposed main menu screen. Btw i have studied a bit how icons work in QtMoko. It seems that best format is .pic This is special Qt format of scalable image. This format seems to have best performance - in fact it's set of serialized qpainter operations. The format is scalable and the files should be quite small. .pic can be generated from SVG with svgtopicture utility (or something like that). Good to know! I'll try to convert the actual .png icons in .pic and see what happens! But are there any chances to have the render from a .pic file? I didn't find any tool capable to open those files.

I like it very much. But it looks like it will need some coding. It seems i am quite overhelmed with Qt 4.8.3 upgrade, problems with sound and other stuff, but i hope i can get to it. I love the mokofaen theme and i will be glad if i could help improving it even more.
