Replace ABP icons with new ones - for Internet Explorer

[sven]

Background

We've created a new icon that was announced and discussed in our ​blog and in our ​forum.

ABP icons v.1.0

[fhd]

Unsetting ready for now - Sven would still like to go over this with the new designer in January.

[eric@…]

The attached file only contains .png files. These are adequate for web pages, but the code uses .ico files for the status bar and the icon within the control panel that lists installed programs ("Programs and Features" or "Add/Remove Programs" depending on Windows version).

[sven]

ABP icons v.1.1 (.png and .ico)

[sven]

We improved the 16px and the 19px version (v1.1). I also created .ico files for the Internet Explorer version. It should be ready to implement now.

@Sven, MSIE installer also needs a 64x64 icon.

[sven]

We will upload it this Wednesday at the latest

[oleksandr]

Actually, what we need is a whole range of icons: 256x256, 128x128, 48x48, 32x32, 24x24, 16x16. Please see ​here for more detail. Please note that we don't really need the 64x64 icon.

I can produce the multidimensional icon from a set of icons, if required.

[sven]

@oleksandr please insert all used sizes and use cases into ​this spreadsheet. We will create the necessary icons then. Please don't forget the "use cases" section, because icons which are no toolbar-icons will be designed differently.

[oleksandr]

Added icon sizes and context.

[eric@…]

#1236 also requires a multiresolution icon.

[eric@…]

@sven I looked at the reference spreadsheet; it's view-only for me. This Stack Overflow question, though, has all the information required to make a good multiresolution icon for the various versions of Windows:

[sven]

@eric, sorry I forgot to give you the permissions to edit the spreadsheet. You should be able to do so now. I would edit the spreadsheet by myself but i will not have the time to do so in the next days. So if someone of you @eric or @olek have time to complete the spreadsheet that would be nice.

[oleksandr]

@sven the spreadsheet is complete

[sven]

The 32x32px and 256x256px icon will be created and uploaded in the next days.

[sven]

should be ready to implement now :)

[oleksandr]

Thanks, @sven! Looks great! This is pushed now.
