Hi all, I'm supposed to be created some icon files for work and I'm having problems finding the size requirements.
These icons are to be used on a PC but the example sized file I need to actually locate is on a Mac. The icon that I'm actually looking for isn't the standard desktop/alias icon, its the little image in the bar at the top of the window that has the window name/program name in it. I don't now what this is called so my terminology is not going to be of much help to anyone so I hope I am describing this ok. Not all programs have them, the ones I've noticed them in on this Mac are Microsoft Word- a little word document icon currently, there is an @ symbol on the Internet Explorer bar, Image Ready has them on some of my files and so on. This is the very outside frame, the one that you can use to resize windows, and has the buttons to close and maximise/restore windows. What I need to do is locate one of these image files, that go in the bar, and get the sizes for it so I can try and find out why the icons I have made aren't working. One keeps getting part of it cut off and then is strecthed to make up for the cut off area. They're all square icons, saved out in Graphics Converter as a Windows icon file, a .ico file. Only one of them is getting cropped and stretched when its being used even though its the same dimensions and format as the others. If I can just locate the file on the Mac, the ones they sent from the PC are .exe files and I can't open them, I can get a fair idea of what size it needs to be because I'm guessing the microsoft programs all have similar icon sizes for Mac OS and Windows. If someone could tell me what the file extension for a Mac icon in that top bar is then I should be able to find it, but without the file extension or a name of one of the icon files I don't stand a chance of locating it any time in the next month. I thought a software developer or someone similar on the list might know.
