Add icon to executable #78

Open gonuke opened 9 years ago

gonuke commented 9 years ago

We discussed adding an icon to a deployable executable. The best graphic to use is: http://fuelcycle.org/_static/big_c.png

The icon could appear as a desktop icon for launching as well as other places that app icons typically appear.

Found some info here: https://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/self-contained-packaging.htm

Hi Paul,

In my conda investigations, I found that Anthony also used a graphic: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cyclus/release/master/conda-recipes/cyclist/icon64x64.png

Since Anthony has already done the heavy lift, I think conda may be the best way to go (as long as we get devs on each major platform to pitch in).

Matt

I worry about requiring people who just want to try Cyclist to first install conda/miniconda. If we can just make an app and serve that from somewhere, it should be easy.

That sounds very reasonable. We discussed this in the dev call yesterday as well. In both cases, a binary must be made on each platform (and in the conda case, you have to also install conda..).
