In OS X we have a icon format ranging from 16x16 till 1024x1024 pixels, so this is not really a problem. > 256x256 format gives very large files (350KB instead of 8KB) and are always > displayed as 16x16 or 32x32 pixels. > The icon_3d.ico file is useless (the 3D frame cannot be called outside > CvPcv or Pcbnew). > Under Windows the .ico files are used only to create a resource file, and > not inside sources. > Under linux, .ico files are not used. > Under OS X the .icns files are used and copied inside the .app folders. > Only icon_kicad.xpm or icon_kicad.png are used, and only to create a > desktop shortcut to Kicad > > For desktop shortcuts, formats bigger than 48x48 (or perhaps 64x64) are not > very usable. > (You can display only few 256x256 icons on an usual monitor) > > So currently I am reluctant to change 32x32 or 48x48 icon files by 256x256 > icon very large file > I will recreate the .icns files from the svg sources by hand and you Linux/Windows people don't have to worry about it. If there are things that don't fit well I or other OS X people will comment on the suggestion(s) or email(s). Kind regards, Jerry
