It's a little smoother than the existing lyx.xpm Angus file. Angus Thoughts? Objections? Good idea. JMarc

Currently these are the icons on Mac: 128x128 is too big for Windows (32x32 seems to be the norm). But if you made SVG files out of these then it's really easy to make smaller bitmaps and then clean them up in the gimp. As for the LyX Monster, see lyx.svg in the development/Win32/package/icons Should I change them to make them more consistent with Windows icons? I think that your are fine. It might be a good idea to get a decent graphics artist on board to make us the equivalent of the firefox logo ;-) -- Angus

There is a lot of black voodoo involved, but you can make spiffy icons on Windows. To convert 128x128 to 64x64 or 32x32, just reduce them. Regards, Asger
