Hi, all...
Hey, we talked about this a year ago, but nothing happened. The inkscapexxxx.ico file that we use for the Inkscape "Application" icon (resource #300), is a fix of the crappy old .ico that I made myself when we first started working on a 'standard' Windows build. I am in no way an artist, and the thing looks utilitarian and boring. So I ask the question again: is there some guy who can make a new icon which is DIB-like (various sizes) and yet pretty at the same time? Of course there are lots of people who can make nice 48x48 or 32x32 images, but we need a Windows guy who knows and can cope with the constraints of a .ico (limited colors, etc)
I have extremely little experience with Windows icons but can witness one thing: GIMP on Linux is a very capable tool for this job, it can deal fine with .ico files (multiple sizes and palettes inside one single file)
