icons

 Since icons are a part of graphics and such, just wondering if there will be an icon of the week in the future. Could be my documents week, my computer week, ubuntu icon, windows icon, etc... just an idea.

Cheers

I'm kinda speaking for myself here..but we kinda have enough OTW's...
I think if you suggest it for theme of the week maybe it will be used.

Nah that's fine, I can understand that. Maybe an icon battle or something on a slow week.

Awesome! If you have any preferences, let me know and we can go from there  ;) Will it be a compiled icon or just a standard size, etc... ?

Cheers

I've been toying with the idea of making TOTW "icons" one week.  Hop on over there and suggest it and I'll put it in the next poll.

Well I ususally base mine on Inkscape's Icon view which offers:

16x16
24x24
48x48
128x128

As you know here in Linux I can use a png as an icon. So, not sure if you want to go and compile to the .ico format in Gimp or not. up to you really, its your challenge...

Let's take this over to the locker room.
