boo Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 well, the edges are jaggy and how would the icon look as a 16x16 icon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winMX_67 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 This may sound kinda funny, but I like the first icon better . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 lol, ya that did sound funny, I thought the first one was kind of bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 That second one looks exactly like the current icon... only higher resolution and shinier O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 nr 2 has a gray edge, is not as flat as nr2, shadows within the gray edge,shinnier and the µ actually looks like it is on top of it not within it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spclffred Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 i hope this is better, i made it a transparent outerbevel, and made the u look more inside of the orb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osm0sis Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 definitely like this 3rd one more than the others. how does it look at the different icon sizes?\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 The second one still looks best, IMHO. The only issue with is it, as boo pointed out, that the µ doesn't look like it's on the inside of the orb.^ Ignore ^ =PEdit: Eh... wtf? The third one looks different from what it looked like just a second ago...Edit 2: Stupid Opera not handling the transparency well... anyway, now that I have a clearer look at it, the third one looks better =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parry Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 how does it look at the different icon sizes?\On a side note, its a very nice icon to use on a dock, but for smaller icon sizes id say you'd have to colour the 'µ' a bit more so it shows in smaller sizes.

StoicJester Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 get rid of the gray border. it's barely visible at the smaller sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 The µ should probably be made bigger, not just a different color. As for the border thing... it looks weird without it, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoicJester Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 on the bigger one maybe. but i can't even see it in the 16x16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 You can, you just don't notice it ;PIf it weren't there, then the icon would look borderless on the 16x16, which is against the icon guidelines Microsoft recommends (I wonder how many people follow it...). And it looks bad without an outline anyway, so Microsoft made the right recommendation when saying "Outlines provide definition." But that's just my opinion =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Determination Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 didn't even know that MS had guidelines. How... militaristic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechR Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I think the second one has better contrast, which is helpful at smaller sizes. The third one's colors look a bit washed-out in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winMX_67 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I like the last icon, but I dont know if I want to change it for the tribal utorrent guy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
