i know its petty, but as a designer i was tired of arduino not playing nice with the icons next to it in the dock. (esp. when you put arduino and processing next to each other.) so i took a moment and redid the arduino icon with a little gradient and drop shadow so that it fits in better with the rest of my icons.
i changed the way my dock looks, but this should give you an idea of what it looks like in the dock:
and with leopard supporting icons up to 512x512 for coverflow, this is how it looks in that:
id like to submit it to the developers if they'd like to use it for future releases, but i dont know how so im posting it here.
Can some make the A in arduino, look like its a trick of the eye.. Looks like an A but where u see it its an electronic circuit.. or vice versa.. Like the > in FedEx
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, someone complained about the lack of an icon for the Arduino IDE in Linux and suggested an icon with the general looks of an Arduino board. Inspired by this I used a photo of an Arduino 2k9 and tried to make a decent icon using Inkscape. I got there, alright, but who wants a 1.2 MB icon? So I made a simple sketch of the board by hand, also in Inkscape. The blue color is lighter than the original board, in order to look good with the default theme for Ubuntu 10.04. There is some white text on the board and I signed my work there, when used as an icon you can not make out what it says.
