The sizes of the icons

Post by Jason Matthew »

Hi!

I would like to improve one thing of UVNC.

When you create the ".exe" file for the UVNC SC, you put in the ".zip", only two icons:
One of them, for the instalation ".exe", and the other one for the tray icon. BUT..., any programs or games that you can find in the internet, they have many sizes of icons, for example:

16x16 - 256 color
16x16 - True colors
32x32 - True colors ...

Like you can see in this image:

So, you say that you have to put 32x32 icons files:
Icons, standard window icons: only 32x32 standard is needed
The bigger the icons and bmp are, the bigger the final result, the final result is 166k + compressed zip file
SAME NAMES MUST BE USED logo.bmp icon1.ico icon2.ico
I would like to ask you if can I/you insert/introduce the rest of those icons types in the zip folder (so, in the ".exe" file)?

Thanks!!!!

P.S: All types of icons are for the different sizes of the icon that you can see when you launch the ".exe" file. For example: in the tray icon (16x16), in the desktop (32x32), in a folder with the "view" on "Thumbnails" (48x48), and so on...

Bye ;)

It isn't a good idea...? :P :P

Look at these images:

In the first one you see the icon in low quality, however, in the second one, you see the icon with high quality. The reason is the differents icons types that use windows (on differents views).

the single reason is: smallest program

No, because, what name should I put on those icons?
The SC Creator it will catch the "icon1" and the "icon2", and what name should I put to the others icons?

When you say...
The bigger the icons and bmp are, the bigger the final result, the final result is 166k + compressed zip file
SAME NAMES MUST BE USED logo.bmp icon1.ico icon2.ico
... it's because the SC Creator only catch those icons, with those exactly names. If you put "icon3.ico" in the zip file, the SC Creator won't catch it.

the single reason is: smallest program
uhm...., but, perhaps you could choose from add those new icons or not do that.
