SwordEdit- because it really, really needs a replacement

Post by P!ckoff » Thu Jun 26, 2008 5:42 pm

A replacement icon because it desperately needs it.

This accomplishes a few things. It brightens the icon so it goes better with the system, adds a drop shadow (*shock!*), corrects the feeble attempt to make an emboss that left it looking like a leaking cup or earl gray tea had been set on it, makes it seem less blurry, and rounds out the edges.


Also, this has a 512 version. For awesome Leopard users like mà.

Thank ye kindly. I'll be using this right away.

Yeah, I threw together the icon I'm using in about 30 min using The Gimp. About 10 min of this time was finding the picture I was originally going to use, then 15 min was figuring out how to use The Gimp. The last 5 min was the quick cut and weird layer shadowing I did since I still have no clear idea about how to use a lot of The Gimp's features.
The sword.
