[vlc-devel] Proposal for VLC file icons [attached zip]

[Dominic Spitaler]

The mac version already contains document icons, generic ones,
as well as some specific for more important file types.
Those have been refreshed (by me) for the 1.0 release.

You might wanna take a look at them…

Personally, I think from a usability perspective, mine are easier
to identify, especially at smaller sizes (16x16 pixels), but I'm  
definitely
not the one to decide here.

(The PSDs were available a long time, but my filehoster died)

Regards,
Dominic

Btw: Is it legal, to use apples generic document icon on other  
platforms?
