Re: [Tikiwiki-devel] Transparent logo and proposal of similar theme for most *.tw.o sites

[Sylvie G. <sgr...@gm...>]

Some little examples with the help.png
Attached screen1 with tiki2.0 and tikitrunk
Both are bad... (tikitrunk is dither+png8 ... tiki2.0 do not know where
it comes from)
screen2 is the original help.png from famfam (the transparency does not
work on IE6)
So it is true we lost quality with converting dithering/png8 - I use
gimp - perhaps other tools can do a better job

But the icons from pics/icons (the famfam ones) that are 'squared' are
fine. Sept7, do you agree?

I like the png format - because you can keep the layers and build new
icons very easily

What about keeping the good looking icons in png - and changing the bad
one like help into gif..

Btw, the star icons on screen1 are old icons - that must be replaced
because of license problem. I repeat - each icon must be ours or with a
suitable license and an identified source. famfam does not have star?
Any volunteer to draw icons?
