I created a new 64x64 icon with smaller C. Other than that I made a longish comparison of the small 16x16 and 24x24 icons on various backgrounds, and in contrast to what I said above, I think I prefer the slightly darker frames. Please have a look at http://cygwin.de/cygwin-terminal-beveled.ico. I think that should really do it. > >> > Maybe a terminal or a setup box with just a green wedge? > >> > >> Hmm, interesting idea.

I tried that on the setup boxes and it just didn't look good. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
