Cog VM app icon
Locked

Hello, i almost done with generating an app bundle for Cog VM , and i found that it is using a Croquet Icon. Which doesn't seems right to me. I remember there was a guy , who presented a nice cog icon and other graphics.. anyone knows where i can find them? -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig. |

Hi Igor. For Pharo, you can check in the "media" folder of: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=1299 For Squeak, you can just take a normal squeak VM, take the app, right button, show package content, and then navigate to /Contents/Resources There you will see all the .icns files Cheers Mariano On Fri, Dec 24, 2010 at 4:31 PM, Igor Stasenko <[hidden email]> wrote: Hello, |

Yes. Pharo seems having nice icons I like the 'pharo-icon.icns' which can be found in: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/22309/pharo.zip But that is for Pharo. I think that Cog VM deserves to have own default icon. And only if it packaged with some other stuff (like pharo-one-click) it then could be changed to something else like pharo icon. The only logo i found is on Eliot's blog page http://www.mirandabanda.org/images/LooneyCogSketchSolidSmall.gif But its dimensions is 125px × 145px It would be good have it in high res, like 512 × 512 (one of the Mac's standard icon size) On 24 December 2010 17:24, Mariano Martinez Peck <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi Igor.

Though with a quarter turn, it looks like it will fall apart. Maybe the C-cog can be made whole with a neutral shade or an outline. |

that would be my preference. The Croquet icon came from the desire to brand Teleplace's Cog VM as a Croquet VM because we're using Croquet. But if we're going to use a different icon I would very much like it to be derived from the looney gears CoG in a wheel idea. It's distinctive and Cog is a good name for a VM (for lots of reasons).

One of the reasons to have distinct icon is when you running multiple images/vms, you can make a difference. I think that with auto-build , we can even do a little trick, like add a version subtitle to icon. So, each distinct version build VM will have own original icon. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig. |

You might try increasing the size of the image by around 8x, applying a healthy amount of gaussian blur, and then cutting the size of the image in half. I've had some success blowing up images this way without them looking low rez. Just a thought. On Dec 24, 2010, at 8:40 AM, Igor Stasenko <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Yes.

I've had some success blowing up images this way without them looking low rez. Just a thought. It probably better to vectorize the existing bitmap image and resize the vectorized version.
