It has the full width and about 85% of the height. Most app icons use the full height so this is a nice way to add some distinction. As a cinema addict I prefer wide screen anyway.Stefan wrote:The v21 looks good. But i am afraid it's too tiny since you didn't use the full hight of the square? Maybe stretch it some more?

Same here. To me v21 totally rocks. I especially like the playfulness, strong and funny at the same time. Doesn't it look great here above on the forum blue?serendipity wrote:My order of liking is:

Re: Feature Request: XYplorer Program Icon Change
Yes, its growing on me. I like the simple design especially the stick-like look it has, its a combination of two backward slashes and 1 and half forward slashes. Looks great also in the forum blue.admin wrote:Same here. To me v21 totally rocks. I especially like the playfulness, strong and funny at the same time.

btw, I was trying to see if it matches any of the Chinese characters, its pretty close actually.

Really?! Then I should find out what it means in Chinese. If it's "dog shit" or so I might reevaluate my design...serendipity wrote:Yes, its growing on me.

Yes, send it to someone who knows Chinese and find out. My visual comparison did not match anything so far.admin wrote:Really?! Then I should find out what it means in Chinese.

Re: Feature Request: XYplorer Program Icon Change
Heh, even before I came to check this thread, I knew a new icon had been born from the forum logo/favicon. I agree with everyone else, of all the proposed icons, this is the best. I'm not 100% sold on it, but I also can't find anything specific to DISlike about it

The new icon is great. You only have to update the main siteadmin wrote:Doesn't it look great here above on the forum blue?
Software: should we be aware because it's soft ? I like to think not !

Yep, working on it. There are a couple of places... icons tend to spread.CyGho wrote:The new icon is great. You only have to update the main siteadmin wrote:Doesn't it look great here above on the forum blue?

Re: Feature Request: XYplorer Program Icon Change
kind of hard to see on a black taskbar (windows 7), Would also be nice to get the Y as big as the X, i find myself searching for xyplorer tab rather then being able to identify it right away.
remember XP blue taskbar is old, window 7 has an assortment of colors from pink black blue green ..etc, getting it to work with them is the best bet.

Re: Feature Request: XYplorer Program Icon Change

personally i dont like the new icon--i prefer the original. but for a new one, i like the styling of that one above the best--its simple and futuristic.
