Oh, I misunderstood you: I thought you were saying that you'd make icons using the app's icon and a the file extension on top _without_ the document in the background. What you're doing sounds fine. What I was asking for was a document with the file extension on top but without the app icon layered in between the document and the extension. The app icon in between is what I think looks ugly -- e.g. the Xcode icons don't have an Xcode picture on the icon for .h files for example. Of course, adding the MacVim icon on the document icon makes it obvious which program will open when you double-click that file so maybe it isn't such a bad idea to include it.

Ok. Well, I think it is nice to use specialized icons for the most common formats (c/cpp/obj-c, java, javascript, html, xml, python, perl, ruby, vim, ..., etc.) and a generic one for everything else but we should probably avoid having one icon for every file extension there is. I have no idea which are the "most common" formats though. ;-) Björn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
