Nitpick: Program icon

(1/2) > >>

Oliver:
Hello,

First of all I like to thank you for the great tool that MultiCommander is.

One minor thing that bothers me, and it's really a nitpick only, is the program icon.
For my taste it looks a bit dated. And as I have MultiCommander opened all day it is always visible in the Windows task bar.

For my personal use I have borrowed the nice and modern looking logo from the homepage and patched the MultiCommander executable to include it.
I really like the result which you can find in the attached screenshots.

I was wondering if you could replace the current icon with the modern logo in future versions of MultiCommander?
Perhaps we could put up a poll for that?

Best,
Oliver

Yes I been planing on changing it. Problem is that I need to have the icon in a lots of sizes for the app icon. (from 16x16 up to 48 ( preferable even up to 128/256) so that it will look good even on large displays with high DPI)
The Website icon is only in two sizes. shrinking it to the smallest appicon size will also make it look strange.
The icon need to be redrawn, Problem is that I do not have any artistic bone in me.
But if anyone that are good at drawing icons, You are more then welcome to create some.

Hi Mathias,

While I'm also not very proficient at Photoshop I tried my best to recreate the homepage logo in all the necessary resolutions.

I attached a zip file which contains:

 - ICO-File with embedded resolutions of 16x16, 24x24, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 128x128 and 256x256
 - PNGs
 - PSD

I hope you'll find these to your liking.

Best,
Oliver

Nice.. I will try them out.

Teo:
Even new icon looks very nice, unfortunately it becomes very small in system tray (much smaller than old one), so it is now more difficult to click on it if one using “minimize to tray”. Would it be possible to have a choice which icon displays in tray?
