Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 6 Private: No Submitted By: Daniel Hornung (rubikcube) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: There should be icons in several sizes Initial Comment: Currently there's only one program icon (in images/), synfig_icon.png which is 128x128, much too big for most desktop environment's uses. It may be scaled down of course, but that would lose all of synfig's abilities as a vector drawing application. I propose to create icons of several sizes at compile time and install them whereever they are expected. I think that 24, 32, 48, 64 and 128px should fit most needs, but maybe asking the KDE and Gnome people would be a good idea as well. As for the places to install them I can only guess and maybe quote from freedesktop.org: http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html says: "Icons and themes are looked for in a set of directories. By default, apps should look in $HOME/.icons (for backwards compatibility), in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and in /usr/share/pixmaps (in that order). ... In order to have a place for third party applications to install their icons there should always exist a theme called "hicolor". ..." On my (Gentoo linux) system, the appropriate location seems to be: $ ls /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ 128x128 16x16 192x192 22x22 24x24 32x32 36x36 48x48 64x64 72x72 96x96 icon-theme.cache index.theme scalable Oh, and those are probably also the common sizes. I'll also upload a first try of an svg version of the logo. It's really hard to reproduce the light effects, svg (even in Inkscape) is not really rich in layer modes. Do with it whatever you want, under whichever license you want. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Paul Wise (pabs3) Date: 2008-09-25 22:34 Message: Fixed patch to actually work with automake.
