Currently there's only one program icon (in images/), synfig_icon.png which
is 128x128, much too big for most desktop environment's uses. It may be
scaled down of course, but that would lose all of synfig's abilities as a
vector drawing application.
I propose to create icons of several sizes at compile time and install them
whereever they are expected. I think that 24, 32, 48, 64 and 128px should
fit most needs, but maybe asking the KDE and Gnome people would be a good
idea as well. As for the places to install them I can only guess and maybe
quote from freedesktop.org:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.htm
l says:
"Icons and themes are looked for in a set of directories. By default, apps
should look in $HOME/.icons (for backwards compatibility), in
$XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and in /usr/share/pixmaps (in that order).
...
In order to have a place for third party applications to install their
icons there should always exist a theme called "hicolor".
..."
On my (Gentoo linux) system, the appropriate location seems to be:
$ ls /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
128x128 16x16 192x192 22x22 24x24 32x32 36x36 48x48 64x64 72x72
96x96 icon-theme.cache index.theme scalable
Oh, and those are probably also the common sizes.
I'll also upload a first try of an svg version of the logo. It's really
hard to reproduce the light effects, svg (even in Inkscape) is not really
rich in layer modes. Do with it whatever you want, under whichever license
you want.
