It would make sense, with the impending release of Windows XP, to provide an icon in the 48x48 size so that Windows can display its large icons view without having to stretch the existing 32x32 icon. The scaling doesn't look all that nice.

No dupes found. Marking NEW. -> Themes, but punt as needed

Related to bug 43647? Adding block: bug 73712.

Over to Marlon, ye olde Icon Master

arrg...aye am shoppe keeper here! what needs ya new? needn't pester me till the crows come home, lad. lest thee splidgets in a bind?

I've attached a new mozilla icon, based on the mozilla.org favicon and the big SVG picture of Mozilla. It include images at 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 and 72x72 resolution, with both 8- and 24-bit colour, optimized for a one bit transparency. I know XP supports 8-bit alpha, but this icon looks good on all systems, including XP at 48 pixel resolution. This would be nice as the mozilla.org favicon, too, since it includes multiple resolutions.

That attachment should be called mozilla.ico if you want to download it - I'm not sure what to set the mime-type to in order for it to display without saving it as a .ico file.

This is basically the current blue seamonkey icon, scaled and cleaned up for 48x48, 64x64 and 72x72px (16x16 and 32x32 are unchanged). This will allow this bug to be resolved fixed, without needing to get permission to use the red lizard (which is bug 28028). When (if?) it is decided to use the red lizard, the other icon (attachment 58751 [details]) can be used.

Chris, would you create a 128x128 version as well, for Mac OS X? We should get all platforms using the same icon.

Which one, the lizard or the seamonkey? Also, what format do the *nix icons use?

id like to see the red lizard used Cross Platform (some Linux dist's use it Mandrake i think) adding a vote to this bug. In case you were not already aware the Seamonkey icon is almost invisible against the default cyan/turquoise desktop color for win9x.

Typically *nix uses PNG icons, gnome likes scalable icons up to as large as anyone cares to make. Basically it looks like MacOS X needs up to 128x128, Windows wants 48x48, and Linux up to 48x48 is probably adequate. I like the red lizard icon over the seamonkey icon, by the way.

64x64, 48x48, 32x32, 24x24, 16x16 pixels at 32-, 24-, 8-, 4- & 1-bit icons. the 32-bit fit very well with WindowsXP's alpha blending

Francesco, be sure to create a 128x128 and SVG version as well.

I've no ptoblems on making the 128x128 one. but... what do you mean for an SVG version? Francesco

If you're unfamiliar with SVG, just attach a version in some vector format (not bitmap).

uhmmm... ok, I'll try to vectorialize 'em in FreeHand (thanks god I'got a Wacom tablet!). I think I can save in WMF or EMF. however, where can I find a program (for Linux too, if necessary) to export in SVG? thanx Francesco

that's it! I made a vectorial (emf) version of the seamonkey logo as requested. I think many people could do better but... remember it's just a draft! you can see it in ACDsee or MS Word/Excel/etc, StarOffice and so on (as an usual ClipArt). I'll work on the 128x128 .ico and .png versions now ;-) please make me know if you like it. again, don't you know a program (for Windows or Linux) able to export it in SVG format? you can contact me in private e-mail too. bye all Francesco <fdefrancesco@iol.it>

brand new 128x128 icon, as requested. you can use the .html file contained in the archive to see the png. enjoy! Francesco <fdefrancesco@iol.it>

Very nice job on your Mozilla icon, Francesco. It's my favorite thus far (and many, many have been made). Many SVG-implementing applications are listed at [http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/SVG-Implementations.htm8]. You also might be interested in my overview document of Mozilla's icon suite and other appearance details at [http://greg.tcp.com/mozilla/ui/Outside/introduction.html]. I'm rather of the mind that Mozilla's whole icon suite and splash screen should be designed as a whole.

Yep...very nice icon indeed. Keep up the great work!

*** Bug 117271 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Whatever gets decided, please note (similar to comment # 10) that the current seamonkey icon vanishes on a standard Windows NT 50% gray (I think it's called that) background. If possible, can the icon be made with its own defined background so this won't happen regardless of the desktop background in use? I think the current icon's background is somehow transparent, is why this happens now.

in reply to comment #20 (and #10): icons in my icon set feature a white border and a bright-to-dark fading (and an alpha shadow, too), therefore I think they may fit well in any background. I can however build red lizard icons, if you like. bye all Francesco

sorry... I meant comment #22 (and comment #10)

yet another reply to comment #22: I tried my icon on Windows 98 & 2000 and I actually realized there is some problem on seeing it on the microsoftish default greenblue background: but I think just brighting the border should make a noticeable difference. so I'll work on this now. p.s.: I swear that in a few days I'll post the final SVG version! bye all Francesco

hello folks! here is my first SVG version of the Mozilla icon as requested. please notice the MIME type is image/svg+xml according to the W3C standard (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/intro.html#MIMEType). you can save it as usual by renaming "attachment.cgi" as "something.svg" in the 'Save As" dialog. I'll wait for your comments. thank you! Francesco De Francesco

You may want to take a look at my Mac OS X Mozilla icon set. I think they might look good under Windows XP too. I'd be happy to work with a Windows XP user with graphics experience who can help me to convert the icons into the right format. You can find them here: http://www.theparallax.net/sd/proposals/Mozilla-Icons.jpg

in reply to comment #27: hey! they're simply great!! Francesco

I can make WinXP icons. Provide links to them in PNG or PSD format and I'll convert them.

I can convert them too. I'm already working on the JPEG but having a PSD or PNG version would really make it simple thanks Francesco

Wow, those are very nice icons. If you convert to PNG, make sure to do so with an alpha layer. WindowsXP's icon format supports an alpha layer which would work well with those icons. Don't forget, however, to make a version of each icon that has no alpha layer, so that users of other versions of Windows can still view the icons correctly.

Yeah, I found a shot of a different (equally really nice) mac os x mozilla icon in jpg format that I converted to a WinXP icon to the best of my ability. it came out... not too bad. I wish I could remember the author's name. The resolutions go from 16x16 up to 128x128.

I made an SVG version of the icons described by Simon Dorner in comment #27; they support full alpha blending and so on. I'll start working on the .ico format now! bye all Francesco

sorry... PNG, not SVG :-) Francesco

I'm still working on a lot of the details. I would wait with the conversion efforts until they're finished. The image I posted was just to describe the basic design direction I've taken. I've posted a more detailed description of what I've done and what I will do in this comment: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58228#c62 . There's still a lot of work to do for me until they're ready. The final icon set will be a lot more polished, "lickable" and complete. I will publish it in about a week and a half and I will send anybody who's interested the layered .psd source files. Just drop me an email.

The icon set is now updated, more polished and complete, contains descriptions and licensing information: http://www.theparallax.org/sd/proposals/mozilla/icons.html - I've saved them as png's with an alpha channel so you can use them without manually reconstructing the transparency information. (That must have been a lot of work, Francesco...) Theres still a long way to go until they're ready.

in reply to comment #36: your icon set is great! i'm not at home right now, but I'll start working in the next days. I think I'll be able to post a Windows version on thursday/friday. btw... they're too nice to be used under Windows! see ya later Francesco

Most of the my time here, I'm just watching bugs, occasionally making suggestions as I have done by posting this bug, so I'm not to knowledgeable on how bugs actually get dealt with in terms of making it into the build. Is anyone in the development processing watching this bug, or is it just up to the creative people here to come up with something and then just hope they like what's been done?

*** Bug 152396 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Out of all the bugs in bugzilla this has got to be the easyest to fix. Give me the icons source file and I'll make the icon Note this doesn't k=just effect Windows XP

I did a seamonkey icon without knowing existance of this bug until yesterday. Icons formats: 16x16x4b, 16x16x8b, 32x32x4b, 32x32x8b, 48x48x4b, 48x48x8b, 48x48x32b, 72x72x8b, 72x72x32b, 128x128x32b as a separate PNG Simon Dorner icons are very cool.

I'm going to dupe this to bug 73712, as it's a windows icon issue. Please make your comments there. If you have mac icons/issues, those should be posted in bug 157829 and linux ones to bug 157830. thanks. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73712 ***

Can someone with the proper authority reopen this?

yep

No offence but This has got to be the easy easyiest bug to fix still not fixed the atachments are there and they look OK so why is this not fixed yet?

Well, since the blue seamonkey icon is no longer the default, I'm not sure that they'd want to put it back. Anyone have a good high res red dino head icon? The first attachment would work, except it doesn't look very good in 48x48.

I just converted the Linux default icon over to Windows. 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, and 64x64 resolutions are included. 16, 32, and 48 are each in 16 color, true color, and alpha blended, 64 is only in alpha blended (I don't think other color depths are needed as only WinXP supports icons that big). If this icon is checked in, then at least two major platforms will be using the same default icon.

Updated version: Contains 128x128x32 format, and I tried to clean up the jaggies on 32x32

Keep in mind there are already icons checked in (for Windows) which are in the nightly builds. It would be best to supply the 48x48 pixel version of that icon, and check that in, rather than backing out some of the changes from bug 73712 to use a different icon entirely.

Windows 98+ can have 48x48 Icons

I tried to make it look as much like the current icon as I could, but I'm not all that much of an artist so it isn't perfect. If anyone thinks they can improve it, feel free.

FYI, the grayrest icon set has been updated to include 48x48 icons. http://www.deskmod.com/core.mod?show=showskin&skin_id=9673

Also one is 24-bit colour, somewhat excessive :-(

A long time ago I did the icon for the Mac OS X version of Mozilla (the translucent blue 'M' in current use). I've offered to create a full icon suite based on this for Mac and Windows, but get no reply. I'm trying again in the hope that someone spots this. Sigh...

Paul, see bug 88393.

I think This is a bug that DESPERATELY needs fixing espeasialy for Mac OS Docks and MobyDock ETC

We may fix this for SeaMonkey in bug 321927, let's see...

is this still relevent today? Vista now has massive icons and the app suite as refered to in this bug no longer exists in the same manner. Perhaps reassign as seamonkey?

On Leopard, 512x512. On Vista, 256x256.

As filed, this bug is no longer relevant, as both SM and Fx have 48x48 Windows icons. If there is a need for even larger ones, a new bug should be filed for it, esp. since this bug dates to before the suite-browser split.
