Title: How about a new exe icon?
Post by: RandomTiger on October 15, 2003, 04:25:12 pm
The freespace exe icon is starting to look a bit old.
Its quite blocky.

Perhaps someone could make a new one?

Yep, why not a few of us have a go at it and let RT pick his favourite, seeing as it's his launcher it'll be the icon for ;)

Flipside :D

Agreed, you should use Sesq's SCP logo/avatar scheme for the new icon. :nod:

Maybe have a poll to choose the best of 10 (if that many turn up).
As for the launcher I might see if I can get away with keeping my paw icon for a bit longer. :nervous:

What can you use to make icons, anyway? We could have mod-specific icons :)

I *believe* any image can be converted into an icon with the right software, don't quote me though.

Didn't Sesqui make a half-planet/SCP image awhile back? I'd liketo see something like that. :D

I'll see what I can do.  I happen to own microangelo and just happen to be bored for a few days.

WMC: I'll make something to that effect sometime.

UT: I've been meaning to make an Inferno icon, i'll see what I can do with some of the others.

I think it's basically just a 32x32 bitmap with an *.ico extension.  IIRc, the top-left pixel colou8r dictates the transparency colour.

BTW - I like Sticks' one :)

I like the II in the background, however the "Z" and the CP looks kind of odd.

The Z is a backward S :)

Have you played FS1? FS1's exe icon is a really cool blue GTA logo.

Alright, as soon as swooh runs my hosting through, i'll upload and link.  They're not all that good, but two or three of them are nice.
