Title: Icon Sizes
Post by: Geezer on November 07, 2004, 09:54:42 AM
I've read some info on this in the past but haven't found in using the search method.  I know we can use icons next to the Agenda and Task listings.  However, is there a specific size and format, (is PNG prefered?) that is limited to.  This of course may be decided by the size of the font in the string too.  I don't know.  Anyone got an idea or answer?  Or did I forget this from the documentation?   :oops:

That is category icon, right?  If so, you have to assign them in POOM filter at configure.  You can use any size, I believe, but you want to match the fonts you use in option format.  I will assume you can use other grphic format other than PNG, but I am not sure.

I used .PNG, and sized the icons to 10x10 (but I wasn't using VGA)...
I believe you can also use .BMP & .JPG if you want !!
The size can be whatever will fit on your display line !!    :D

Yep, the category icon.  I've been looking at it and it appears the one we see in all the distributions are 10x10.  I guess that's because the size is a safe bet to be universally usable. The ones that are not working for me are a bit larger, like 12x14 or so.  I thought they were small enough but I'll have to downsize them a bit more and see if it will work.  Thanks UK..

Thanks for the above Zapme1.  I'll try to downsize them and see if that works.  I guess I may not make my delivery date.  I'm still going to try.  But I think I'm going to just have to put out another text file of "what's left.txt"   :cry:
