Re: [libreoffice-design] MimeType icons

Hi all!

First - I'm very sorry that I'm unable to add any comments or feedback
today. But I tried to put all the effort in ...

... getting the basic file right. You can grab it here:

The properties page is here:

And the wiki page is - you know - here:

@ Bernhard: Of course, I'll use the other license(s) - no bad
intentions :-) I've got aware of the wiki change when I've uploaded the
"neutral TDF installer branding".

The changes:
      * Removed the shadows of all application/document icons and
        resized all corresponding icons to use the available space
        (Feedback by Mirek who provided the platform specific shadow
        requirements; we may apply a drop shadow or something like that
        later ... at the moment it corresponds to the "old" Galaxy
        icons; but re-adding shadow requires proper resizing once more)
      * Exchanged the coloring between documents and templates -
        documents are now white/grayish, templates are more colored
        (Feedback by Nik, adapted feedback by Björn)
      * Re-added some color for very small icons (e.g. providing light
        green background for the Calc grid in 16px) (Adapted Feedback by
        Ivan to ensure proper color coding for small sized icons)
      * Base: Changed from 3-stack to 4-stack for the 128px Base icon
        (but kept the background, since it is really required to
        harmonize the icons, although I agree to the misleading meaning)
        (Feedback by Ivan)
      * Base: Added missing HC versions

The downsides:
      * My "grid" inside the icons is broken (resizing issue), so that
        the binders now have a bit space at the top (I decided to put
        the remaining pixel to the top, because at the bottom it still
        is nicely aligned)
      * The icons - especially the application/document icons - look now
        rather simple. Some people may like it, some won't ...

Note: I've kept the placeholders for the symbolism in each of the icons,
so you'll know the required size of the symbols (since this has been
discussed for the Draw icon).

Note: To see the icons in their natural beauty (just kidding), please
use 100% zoom, disable grid (#), disable all placeholder layers. This
time, there is no nice preview - sorry!

@ Bernhard: Tomorrow, I might help Jaron to polish the Impress icons (if
he likes, but this requires "the source" ... and thanks to him to start
working on that). And, I could pick Math if there is time left ...

@ Bernhard 2: Thanks for your additions to the Wiki page :-)

We run out of time a bit (but still, my feeling is much better than some
days ago...), but we really need some knowledge how to export the icons
(naming, maybe the source directory location). Could anybody take care
of that and ask on the developers list? Otherwise I fear, that tasks
like that keep us busy at the end :-\

Anybody else (maybe new guys) to pick some symbolism (Printer
Administration and Macros are a challenge ... you finde more information
in the wiki [1])?

Thanks for all your work and feedback!

Cheers,
Christoph
