Title: can you make a new icon for app browser
Post by: Guy on May 27, 2011, 12:24:23 AM

I suggest the icon for the app browser be changed to an arrow pointing down. Similar to what you see with download links.

People automatically connect that with downloads. So it would make it immediately recognizable.

Is there a user who would like to make a suitable new icon for the Tiny Core appbrowser?

If people have other ideas, please share them.

There might be other free projects we might grab it from :)

If you have such an icon and it "matches" our current "theme', i.e. gray/silver and perhaps some blue.
And is unencumbered, i.e., free to use. Send to me or let me know where it is available.

I will consider as I am in the process of factoring out "load local" thereby apps browser would become a download vehicle and the current icon could be used for the new program.

IMHO, the tcz text is unreadable at the standard icon size of 48x48.

Do not use floppy disk as an icon. Myself I do not associate it with download or installation. A younger person even can not recognize it.

And tinycore doesn't even fit on a floppy, right? ;)
So can I start calling myself wise and old on the internet now?

Thanks! You all have given me some ideas.
I have now specified a design to our Graphic Artist, Dale.
