Downsizing from 128x128 to 16x16 isn't great, so whatever sizes are already in the .ico file should be kept (these are 16x16, 32x32 and 48x48) especially if you saw that the 48x48 icon is sharp in the dock. But remember that this is just a nit. Paolo

When I was inspecting the icon using the genie feature of Mac OS X's dock, the icon looked very sharp at full size, so I didn't see a problem with it. What size do you have in mind?

Ok, so I'll apply v3 to my tree as soon as I get a Tested-by. Please take a look into providing a .rsrc file with larger-sized icons (I think you can add more than one to a single .rsrc file?) and, when you do that, document in pc-bios/README how the resources were built.

Although it was years ago I recall having a hard time getting gradients to render correctly with ImageMagick. You'll want to compare the ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick and rsvg (apt:librsvg2-bin on Debian) outputs. Although the current ImageMagick seems to work fine on the logo here. But you'll have to find how to properly specify the size of the SVG (and not use -scale since it'll resize the bitmap, and make it 128x127). OTOH: rsvg-convert -w 128 -h 128 ./pc-bios/qemu_logo_no_text.svg > qemu-r.png seems to generate a proper png with transparency. It seems inkscape can do it as well, but it's probably a larger dependency: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9853325/how-to-convert-a-svg-to-a-png-with-image-magick François.

I suspect the Windows icon is not a great match for Mac OS X which likes to have big sizes (48x48 or 128x128). If you want to generate the .rsrc file automatically, the right source probably would be the .svg file, and doing the conversion in the Makefile probably isn't entirely feasible. It would need extra build dependency and rounding errors would make it harder to achieve reproducible builds. Paolo

Why not just use the sips --out option to specify a different output file? That way we automatically put the current icon into the executable, and don't have to update a hand-created qemu.rsrc file in git if we change the icon in future (and I bet if we don't have the rules for doing this in the makefile then nobody will remember how to do it). As a bonus we don't have to keep that file full of ugly high-bit-set characters in C comments in git :-) -- PMM
