R: [GRASS-dev] New GRASS Icons and Windows

[marco.pasetti at alice.it]

Hi Martin,
 
could you give me the original images, please? When I extract them from the windows icons I have a significant quality reduction. The format doesn't care, I can manage every image format.
Thanks,
 
Marco
 
PS: did you received my mail about wxPython location wizard?

multiple sizes within the same icon file would be ok.
