SURVEY: IconPackager and File Types

Tuesday, September 21, 2004 by farkusmarkus | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I could use help and/or information from y'all.

Of the standard 8 formats (128,96,72,64,48,32,24,16), how many are actually used? In other words, if I were to include only 48,32, and 16 (for file types) in a package can I expect an uprising outside my house?

Thanks!

Why not include as many as possible, once you create it large, softwares such as Icon Developers will make the smaller ones automatically.

Anyway, you need to inlcude the 72 one, and some people may use some of these icons with Object Dock, so 128 would be nice too. And you need the 24 pixels one as well for items on the right side of the start menu.

Just trying to remove useless steps. I don't like auto-sizing most icons because I don't think they come out quite right. I thought 24px was for the places panel and didn't think file types ever showed up there. As for objectdock, I forgot that some people like to have they're running tasks shown up there, so I guess a large file type would be necessary.

I love having the big icons included as I export them and use them in other programs (AveDesk, IconX, ObjectDock+). Just my 2 cents.

OK, I thought you wanted to know for all icons. For file types I think you could skip the 24 pix ones.
