New Icons and Logo

[jsmorley]

We are looking to standardize and harmonize the icons used in the Rainmeter application, and the full logo used on the site and forums.

Here is a proposed set as a .zip file, having the icons and logo and everything used to create them.

RainmeterIconLogo.zip

All icons have the sizes: 256 / 128 / 96 / 80 / 72 / 64 / 48 / 32 / 24 / 16 included.

The new icon has the blue (#2A6D9B) and orange (#E09028) colors familiar from the forums, with a very light blue interior fill. (#F0F0FF)

Note that the logo uses the "Aller" typeface, which I cannot include as it is not open source.

Starting with Rainmeter 4.3, this icon will be used everywhere, including in the Windows System Tray (Notification Area). However, I have also included a version of the icon with white strokes and a transparent fill, which can be used with the [TrayMeasure] setting in Rainmeter.ini, to have an alternative version of the icon to use in the Windows System Tray. The idea here is that you might like an icon that closely matches the style used by Windows 10 for system icons in the tray.

Code: Select all

[TrayMeasure]
Measure=Calc
Formula=1
TrayMeter=Bitmap
TrayBitmap=Icon\RainmeterWhite.ico

Note that the icon must be in a folder directly under your ..Rainmeter\Skins folder. The path in TrayBitmap is relative to the Skins folder.

The icons and logo were created as .svg files in Inkscape, with the icons exported as .png files in the various sizes, and imported into Axialis IconWorkshop to create the 32bit Windows .ico files.

Updated files in the first post with a new proposed set.

I like it. It's following the flat-design trend that's going on in many platforms right now.
