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

Wed Apr 23 06:43:08 EDT 2008

Martin and Hamish,

>ico-files (64px) from svn are not enough?

sorry, but not. When extracted from ico file they present a significant quality reduction. To do a good job I need the original files. The image quality is very important, because when I reduce the original 64px size to lower sizes I need the best resolution as possible (that is the original one).

>eps, svg, more:

I need not only the offcial GRASS logo, but also the images with the SQL text, the gear and the world image...

Thanks,

Marco

ico-files (64px) from svn are not enough?
