Logo proposal

[mumu]

Hi there,

Downloaded fet last week and noticed there was no logo. So I made one using my humble Inkscape skills

What do you think about it?

Cheers!

I'm not much of an art critic, but that looks grand. Simple and effective.

[Zsolt Udvari]

More than nothing
I think it's good, but has an disadvantge: it should be more contrast. Black on grey background... if the icon is small (32x32) the user can't see (e.g. in menus).

Great work!

[mumu]

Thanks guys for feedback, I'll upload a more contrasted version ASAP.

Cheers!

edit : here it is, I think it looks nicer with a background color (taken from fet's website ), seems readable even in size 32x32

[Zsolt Udvari]

Yes, it seems very good

In the original email from mumu (private) he told me to add an icon to the FET homepage. If other people say that also, I will try to add this one. Please let me know the desired place to add this icon. (I am not an artist, that is why I made the FET homepage as it is for now; graphics are maybe confusing for some people.)

Or will you only use it in your package of FET, to add an icon to the FET executable?

[Zsolt Udvari]

In Linux you should include the icon-file in the tarball. The /usr/share/icons/hicolor directory (and its subdirectories, widthXheight) are good.
In windows... I don't use windows but as I remember in many times the icon(s) are included in exe files.

About adding an icon to GNU/Linux or Windows packages - it is a bit more complicated for me personally. I would like to leave this to other people (packagers or users), but I'll think about.

[Zsolt Udvari]

On Linux you should modify fet.desktop's Icon line:

Code Select Expand

Icon=fet
and should include the icon into tarbz2. Fet doesn't have 'make install' so the packagers do this step so can install it to the proper place.

[Liviu Lalescu]

Since I am not in the right position to choose an icon for the FET executable, I propose to have a link for the users/packagers with FET icons to choose from. On the FET Tools/Links page. Or I'll think about adding a special directory into FET, but I cannot promise.
