Re: SE 5 Editor
I've now done a successful test of loading a facilities file, modifying some data and saving it back out. All that's really left at this point is the formula parser which I'll be starting on tonight. Hopefully, I'll be able to make a release of this code tomorrow or this weekend.
As part of the "polish", I'm doing stuff like the about-menu, etc. and I noticed I have no icon. Since my art ability is about nil, I was wondering if any of you artsy types feel like making an icon for the editor?

Re: SE 5 Editor
Here is an online icon maker... you can upload any image to it. I've used it to make favicons for websites.

Did you see the part where I said "my art ability is about nil"? 
Think "programmer-art" and shudder in fear. |

Few graphics editors do icons, so that might still be a handy option for whomever makes the icon. Nice, considering that that site can import uploads in other image formats... someone just needs to make a square picture.
Of course, I've been wrong before... like about the unstable warp point to the center of that black hole.  |

Re: SE 5 Editor
For reference, Visual Studio has a built-in icon editor.

Re: SE 5 Editor
I have photoshop and all sorts of tools to make images. It doesn't even need to be a .ico or .bmp file, I can use jpg, gif, png, etc.
What I'm lacking is SKILL at making any kind of reasonable-looking image. Really, I have close to zero artistic ability.
I've got a temporary image I'm using for now, but what I'm hoping is that someone artistic feels like making a nifty image for the "About" window. If you also feel like making a nifty .ico file for the program icon, that'd be neat, too.
If no one feels like doing this..that's ok too! I'll happily release without things like nifty icons. I just think they make things a little more polished is all. |
