Re: X/Cygwin icon proposal

But anyway, the alpha *is* "safe" for other OS (well maybe not for NT, but I haven't heard back from haro about icon_test9 which seems to work fine for Alexander). It may not be to your taste but it is recognizable as the X logo.



Or, fix the code to detect the OS.  If OS>=Win5.0 use alpha icon,
OTW use standard icon.  That can be done at runtime w/a few lines
of C.
Which one? The monochrome one? Or the one with the white background? Maybe the old one with the white specks? And how do you do the "runtime" thingy when XWin isn't running and Windows displays the icon in Explorer?

Maybe Halrold should only distribute the source code, and let people recompile xwin.exe by themselves that way they can choose their own prefered icon for the binary.

All that just for a stoopid icon. Baah...

Nahor
