Change icon? about ruler HOT 22 CLOSED

from ruler.

Just riffing a little bit, do you like one of or a combination of one of these designs? If so, I'll flesh it out and make an .ico file with the various sizes.

Icon 1

Icon 2

Icon 3

from ruler.

I like option B.

Also the simplicity fits the aim of the program.

from ruler.

Damn, now when I think of it, we will have 45 angle ruler icon, and our ruler will not be able to do the same. I'm not so sure right now...

from ruler.

We can totally start with a yellow horizontal ruler.

from ruler.

Sure, if you have better icon, please recommend it.
The only reason I'm using current icon is out of respect to original author, but I don't mind changing it.

from ruler.

@andrijac I guess you're not too into these? :)

from ruler.

I would be happy to implement this change if we can find a icon everyone likes. I personally think icon 3 provided by @ben-burlingham looks nice.

@andrijac do you have a thought on this?

from ruler.

I also like icon 3. Maybe make it diagonal in a 45° angle?

Here's rotated samples:

A

B

from ruler.

Good point!

Cool, just let me know when to pull the trigger and I'll provide an .ico file. Might wait for another opinion or two just to be on the safe side? :)

from ruler.

I like B as well. If you want to go ahead and post the icon, I will make the change and @andrijac can reject the pull request if he doesn't care for it.

@leglock All set. Github commenting doesn't support attaching .ico filetypes (or source file types for Gimp or Photoshop) so I emailed you the file to the email posted in your account. Happy to make the PR myself if granted push access.

How about yellow rotated 45°?
I like yellow because it will stand out.

from ruler.

I like yellow 45 degrees. Although it's going to remind me of another ruler I had been using for years in the past. http://www.spadixbd.com/freetools/jruler.htm

It stopped working with Windows 10, so I had to find a replacement. This is how I found this open-source ruler. 😁

from ruler.

@alexis-m maybe that's a good thing :) we will step into old ruler's place.

from ruler.

:) Happy to add the yellow 45 too. But since I can't attach .ico here, if I can get push access, I can make PRs so people can see the two options.

from ruler.

@ben-burlingham I am new here, but IIUC, you don't need push access to send a PR.

from ruler.

@alexis-m Hmm, I'll try again later, but I thought to push the branch to create the PR from, I'll need access. Maybe I've been working on restricted repos for too long 😅

from ruler.

How about horizontal yellow ruler icon? What do ya'll think?

from ruler.

Fact is, current icon needs to be replaced one way or another.
