Summary: PC new-logo-based icon set
Initial Comment:
Following positive discussion on -dev, here's the
updated version of the PC/py*.ico files I hacked up a
while ago.
The attachment is a ZIP, not a patch, as it contains
only binaries. Also available as tgz:
http://doxdesk.com/img/software/py/win32-icons.tar.gz
Also possibly of interest:
http://doxdesk.com/img/software/py/icons3.zip
This attachment contains only the simple replacement
files; the icons3 ZIP also contains:
- source
- versions including Windows Vista large icons
(probably not worth including at this point as they're
quite sizable and no-one is using Vista yet)
- an egg icon
(there is currently no installer/shell support for
eggs,
but could be worth adding in future)
- a new installer side banner
(this has not currently seen any discussion on -dev,
but may be worth considering if the intention is to
leave behind the purple/green snake branding)

> I put a demo installer containing them
Seems to work OK. The thanks at the end still attributes the
graphic to Erik though; I'm not after an ack there myself,
but changing the text to not imply the current graphic is
his one may be appropriate.
> baselogo.svg; I assume this is a source file
Yes. This is just the Python logo itself (the gradient
version as used on the new website), in vector format.
> icons.svgz; can't figure out what this is
Same as source.xar, but exported as W3C standard SVG format
for wider compatibility [compressed, hence the 'z'].
Unfortunately because SVG cannot reproduce some of effects
used, and because the SVG export path is currently quite
bad, it's not really directly usable, but it might be of use
to anyone who wants to hack on the graphics but doesn't use
Xara.
> source.xar; not sure either
This is the primary vector graphics source of the icons -
the other SVG and PNG files are just there because other
people requested them.
It's in Xara format, a previously proprietary graphics
application which has now gone open-source and is heading
rapidly towards being usable on Linux, but isn't quite there
yet.
> a directory called png, with many png file - I expect

Nope, they're just exactly the same content as in the
(with-vista) .ico files, just supplied as PNG for anyone who
wants to fiddle with them in a more accessible bitmap format.

Thanks for the patch. I have committed it as r46063. I put a
demo installer containing them at
http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/python-2.5.13290.msi
I would also like to add the source files, but I have
difficulties figuring out what they are. There is a source
directory; with:
- baselogo.svg; I assume this is a source file
- icons.svgz; can't figure out what this is
- source.xar; not sure either
- a directory called png, with many png file - I expect
that these aren't source files, are they?

Sure, no worries. I'll fax over the -python version since I
have ancient contributions to cover too.
