Description

Hello,

with a little help I modified the icon to look more familiar in OS X. At first for my personal use. Maybe you want to use it as a new standard icon for OS X?

Greetings Christian

Just wanted to add a simple preview of the current situation of icons.

Nice indeed.

Aleks,
Do I have to do something to have it used?

@Chris: I can supply the PNGs (512x512, 256x256, 128x128, 32x32 and 16x16) if you want to adapt it for another platform.

Thanks. You can attach them to the ticket for reference.
Unfortunately, the "round" approach is very mac-ish, so difficult to use on other platforms.
It would be great to have a "square" shiny version, though, which could be used on Linux and Windows...

Why are round icons an Win and Linux more difficult than square ones? Chrome, Firefox and Thunderbird are round ones in my taskbar ...

Anyway, I attached two 512x512 PNGs to try and have a look.

I meant that win and Linux do not use round icons but rather square ones...
