There's a BZFlag icon in the distribution.

You mean the gray one with the big "BZ" and a bit smaller "flag"? Sorry, but it is ugly.
A new (and good of course) Icon would be awesome.

The grey icon was replaced back in 1.9. The icon is now a red tank, at least for Windows.

yeah I rendered that thing at like 10 difrent sizes for learner.

it shoudl exist as a png or something somehwere for the other OSs, I know it was used for the mac too.

it's the same icon that is used for the menu arrow, and I know that's a png. maybe that will work for ya

Death_Barrel: Yeah, I know how to do those, but it would be easiest if someone got ahold of the Gentoo folks, and got just that blank shiny ball, so we could put the BZFlag icon on it.

Which size and format is required for such an icon? I will draw one if you tell me.

Death Barrel · Post by **Death Barrel** » Thu May 06, 2004 2:39 pm

not sure, i really don't know much about icons, although all the icons that i use are .png's

i did measure the icon.... measurements are : W=79px H=77px

Ok, first I thought of doing it this evening, but than I couldn't resist.

So, here is the first preview (it took nearly 20 minutes and is inspired by these gentoo icon-set):

Currently it got 128*128 pixel, but it would be possible to create other versions with different size. I suggested that it should be PNG, but now I made it as JPG. It isn't for use yet, just a preview.

And of course it will be transparent later.
Any comments?

Thanks.

So which sizes do we need?
128*128
64*64
32*32
16*16

And all in PNG. Right? Should I work on this?

Nobody answers - doesn't interest, here we go!

And the Icons in PNG-format:

Does anybody know how to get 'em installed with KDE 3.1?

Edit: Umm, the 32-icon is a bit strange at the bottom. I've to fix that...

Edit2: Okaaaay, KDE also uses 48*48 und 22*22 icons. I have to do that tomorrow.

mac icons:
* d/l the attachment
* unzip it
* right click on bzflag and click show package contents
* open the Contents folder
* open the Resources folder
* put MacBzFlag.icns into the Resources folder
* then move BZ to a folder and open it up and it should be with the nice new icons... if not just relogin and it will be the new icons
