Icon shadow #10

Open grantbow opened 13 years ago

For the icon to look like the other Android system icons, the activehabits icon needs to be rotated slightly to the left and the shadow needs to be redrawn using a higher light location/a much shorter shadow.

I need to check in the xcf into the source somewhere too.

I am diving into gimp and what it will take to do these right. There's quite a bit to learn.

The checked in approximation was a poor attempt to try to make an icon similar to the 1.6 icons. New Guidelines exist for 2.0+ that are quite specific about colors, textures and simplify things greatly.

However Gimp looses quite a bit of info during the import of the Photoshop PSD file.

The default icon style has changed quite a bit. Not sure what Honeycomb 3.0 or ICS 4.0 icon defaults "should" look like.
