The notification icon needs some help.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe the feature you want implemented.
The notification icon needs some help. The grey and white icon idea is great, 
but please have a look at the Windows icons in comparison to Stoffi. If it can 
be redrawn in the same style as Windows, it will look excellent.

Describe why you think that this feature is needed.
The current icon quality detracts from the quality of Stoffi.

Are there any other projects that inspired you? Do you have any screenshots
or mockups to show a concept of this feature?

Yeah, I want that too. But I am no expert at doing icon design. I have no idea 
how to fix this. I wish I could find someone who's good at icon design and take 
a look at that. :/

Possibly ask someone in the open source arena if you can use an existing icon? 
Or ask for assistance with a redraw. 

I'm just throwing this out there, I do not know him personally, but I do know 
his work and he is excellent. How about contacting Nuno Pinheiro of 
nuno-icons.com. He is one of the main contributors to the icons that are used 
on the KDE Linux desktop?

I have polished the icon a little bit. It still doesn't scale very well, though.
So it looks weird in "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification Area
Icons" for example.

Nuno Pinheiro unfortunately want money to do jobs. And I don't want to take 
anyone else's icon since I want it to be in white with a black outline so it 
looks exactly as the standard Win7 icons (volume, battery, wifi, etc).

But I think I can manage to fix it by myself, otherwise I will have to try to 
find someone, somewhere. Maybe when Stoffi gets more popular someone will fix 
it. Right now I would love to find another programmer, though. But that's a 
whole other issue... :P

Have a look at this link. There are different types of music representations. 
Do you want to keep the current music note, or is there a different icon that 
would suite Stoffi better?

We can then move on from there in terms of actually creating the icon.

I actually like the double note icon. It represents music and it looks good 
even when it's small. However, the problem with the taskbar icon is that I want 
it to look identical to the other stock Win 7 icons for volume, battery, wifi 
and action center: white icons with a 1px black border. The biggest problem is 
that it has to be an ICO file and it has to scale well since the icons used in 
the notification list are slightly larger than the ones in the tray.
