back in _my_ day, we only had 4 colors (CGA) or even 2 colors (Hercules) -- and we liked it even more :)

but like I said - its hard to _re-do_ something _very_ small and highcolor in 16 colors...

[i]PS. I think there should also be an icon to represent when the program is Locked-Minimized To Tray with a password (Ctrl+F9).

Exellent idea, btw... I forgot about "locked" state, cause I do not use this option...

I'll try to make icon for this state also..

We need a 32x32 for the schedule icon too

Here's how I think the 32x32 schedule icon should look. It's of course the same format as the 310.ico with 32bit XP icon with alpha channel and 256 and 16 colors as well.

Nice effort but the quality is just a bit lacking.

I know.. they're not 100%. I guess I rushed it. The 32-bit one is good though.

and it only contains 32x32 versions.

complete/required listing of application icon formats in .ico library by XP standard is:

Code:

48x48@16M+alpha(XP)
32x32@16M+alpha(XP)
24x24@16M+alpha(XP)
16x16@16M+alpha(XP)

48x48@256
32x32@256
24x24@256
16x16@256

Here. My version.

I'll also try to finish "locked" state icon today.

Aramir · 04-14-2003, 04:19 AM

Here is another version of schedule icon. Clock thingie is now "under" the "F-box" thingie. I'll leave it for you to decide which one is better.

(Me, myself - I think first version, with "clock" over "F-Box" is better one)

Celerex_2 · 04-14-2003, 05:33 AM

Some good stuff. I like the one with teh clock ontop. Stands out a bit more.

MidKnight · 04-14-2003, 07:25 AM

please note, that the lock icon, we only need a 16x16 icon for this one

Aramir · 04-14-2003, 07:29 AM

locked state icon

16x16@16/256/XP

Kibe · 04-15-2003, 12:31 AM

As MidKnight asked, here is the suggestion I made in Beta Forum:

I really like that colours for FlashFXP icon. But since we are gonna have colors, why not some more:

- Gray: disconnected
- Yellow: trying to connect
- Green: transfer in progress
- Red: server error/disconnect
- Blue: idle with empty queue

What do you think about it?
