As far as I have understood. You improve the image of original icons (pictures)figures. And at you it very well turns out :thumb:
Here I also have thought.. Whether you can restore picture up to an initial condition. Can you? Or you draw this great icons by yourself?

I'll see what I can do. I'll work on it over the weekend.

I went ahead and created a Garrett icon, mostly for ZylonBane.:p
Here's a pic:

The Icon will look small in IE or Firefox, but it's normal size when you're using it.
I'll add it to the Zip file if people approve. More icons are coming, though I probably won't update until tomorrow.

Do not fear the image border. The image border is your
friend.

The icon goes to the border verically - completely. But it has two lines on the bottom and right side that are somwhat transparent. This is required if you want to have smooth edges where the icon doesn't look blocky or if you want to have a drop shadow.
Part of the issue is that Garret or other figures are not perfect circles; they'll look smaller than the icons used for Firefox or IE because of this - even if they're technically of the same size - because they don't fill the space completely.
I know the XP icons look a tad small even now, and I'll continue to tweak them to see if I can improve it; most of my previous icons were for the Gnome environment in Linux, and it automatically finds "borders" and resizes icons appropriately in recent versions. I'm still getting the feel of XP icons.

NH, could you possibly release a scaled-down version that contains only the changes that directly affect gameplay? I like the play styles, the guard sensory boost, the guard stamina, the flattening bug fix, etc., but I actually prefer the default interface, title screen, and the like.
EDIT: Oops, posted this in the wrong topic.

Ah, you misunderstand me. I was just commenting on your apparent unwillingness to have a flat edge anywhere in your icons.
