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.

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?

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.
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...

Yes, send it to someone who knows Chinese and find out. My visual comparison did not match anything so far.

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 :D

The new icon is great. You only have to update the main site ;)
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. :)

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.

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.
