How did you like the current "group icon"?

DenisKormalev

fcrochik, new icon is slightly better, thanks :) Maybe ants should be moved from edge of icon? So border will not overlay them.

Wolf P.

Or, enlarge the overlay, this is what I'd prefer :)

BlackDante

the new one is really great :) but maybe you can add some animation like for example this ants will be walking from one edge to another :)

Wolf P.

are GIFs allowed?

DenisKormalev

Cannot find any restrictions on gifs :) So I think they are allowed

Wolf P.

Then I think the animation should be as realistic as possible. No ant shaped sliders please :)

I agree :) This ants must be "living theirs own life" ;)

Ahm... no animations please. These are so... so.... late 90ies when everything was blinking and moving and with bizarre colours :-)

Oh, I am to young to remember how it web looks in late 90ies, but I think that little animations who have some idea will be looking great :)

Wolf P.

with flash this could be far more realistic ;)

Go rinse your mounth, eh... fingers, please! Bah! Flash!

Perhaps we need embedded QML on this forum ;-)

BlackDante

but we can't overact with realism, we must keep restraint in everythink :) I am for a little animations with some realism.

You're so lucky! These web pages undoubtedly were retina carcinogenic!

Oh my god - flash! That would kill my laptop battery :-)

fcrochik

I can work on the border but animating ants realistically is probably beyond my designer skills. I may be able to write one ant behavior simulator given the parameters :)

Please join in the fun... I don't need to be the only developer trying to play designer. :)

Wolf P.

Realism surcharge :D

[EDIT[2]] it was in reply to Volker.

And I'm not really interested in an animated icon. For "this icon":https://sourceforge.net/userapps/mediawiki/w-peuker/nfs/user/w/w-/w-peuker/5/55/Devnet-meta-group.svg, I even resisted color gradients.

Oh, I had some fun with the German and Mac group logos - my demands are satisfied in that subject :-)

The current one was actually made by Gerolf's wife if I recall correctly. My creative part on this one was to put it into the right place :-)

Wolf P.

The current icon is really wonderful.
I cannot see how to "improve" it.
