No problem, glad to help. At that size things really are hard to deal
with, hope you find the solution.

 I don't know where the Django ones came from (they may have been
 custom designed for all I know), but if you're looking for good free
 icons I'm quite fond of the famfamfam 
 silkiconset:http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/

Re: Where are the admin app icons from?

[Margie]

I'll try the css idea, but I suspect that things this small just can't
be resized well.  I actually contacted Wilson Miner, and he said that
he did create those especially for the admin site.  When I asked him
about scaling other images (like the famfam ones, which he also
pointed me to), he said:  "No at those sizes, you have to design the
icons at the size they'll be used. Not enough pixels in such a small
image to scale properly."

Between the famfam stuff and various other random "finds" on the web,
I think I can get by.  Thanks for the pointers to that other grey
scale library as well.  I can see that being useful in the future.

Re: Where are the admin app icons from?

[Luke Seelenbinder]

Could you resize them simply with CSS?
CSS handles resizing quite well.

I did find one set of icons sized at 10x10 here:
http://www.brandspankingnew.net/archive/2006/12/hohoho.html
But they are greyscale.

Re: Where are the admin app icons from?

[Margie]

Yeah, I looked at those and they are very nice, but not quite the
same, and the size differences seem to be a problem.  My graphic
design skills are pretty minimal.  I tried scaling them down to the
size I need in gimp, but they didn't look very good after that.
Tried the "minis" in that set as well, but they were *too* small!

Arrgh!  It ain't easy designing a web app with no graphic design
skills!

I suspect that they were designed for Django - probably by Wilson
Miner, the guy who designed the look and feel of the admin interface.

Where are the admin app icons from?

Hi,

I'm wondering if the icons in the admin app (for example, the
addlink.gif icon) come from some standard icon (free) icon package
where there are more goodies of the same sort?  Anyone have any
pointers for where those came from?
