I don't think we have to replace all of them or at least not at one shot (at least not for something as obscure as this one) because it is a lot of work. I think the old icon is pretty clean in its meaning, it would be nice if we could have something just like it but Tangoised. -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo

The icon is the standard "certification" icon taken from the Tango base set. From what I can see it represents a wax seal - the old way of certifying one's identity. In fact the original icon has the seal drawn in yellow on the left of the certificate, so the idea isn't too crazy. You could be right though. Maybe the metaphore isn't as clear as it could be - especially when the UI explicitly uses the word "certificates". Drawing high quality icons takes me a long time, so I'm trying to avoid creating too much work for myself. On the other hand if people think it's wrong, then I don't mind working to get it right. It doesn't matter too much either way though, because cryptui is very obscure - so obscure that it's only after months of work on this project that I've been able to find a way to actually display the dialog for the first time! I had to write custom test software to do it! So whatever happens the impact on users will be quite low.

I am curious though, the cryptui.dll cert icons don't strike me as right.

SVG Logo from the website
Quick question: Does anyone have an SVG of the wine logo as used on the wine website? I'd like to use it as part of my graphics refresh to improve idb_wine.bmp as shown here: http://www.airwebreathe.org.uk/wine-icon/
