Non-transparent images #51

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The last set of icons (aquarium, canoeing, themepark, etc.) don't have a 
transparent background. They are surrounded by a rather ugly white box 
instead.

BTW Some more suggestions: mine (like in coal mine, marble mine, etc.), 
fjord, rock, rowing (like in rowboats, but also Venice gondolas), cable 
carts, temples (like greek/roman temple, hindu temple), ferry, square 
(like in town squara, piazza, plaza, place), bull fight arena, field 
hockey field, olympic site, ski jump, bob sleigh track

Some more that I came up with after sending this mail: gates (like gates in 
medieval 
city walls that you will see in a lot of old European cities), ice skating, go 
karting, formula 1 racing, conference center, shopping mall, waterfall, 
sailing, 
lake, shore, hydropower dam, glacier, flower/vegetable auction, flower fields 
(like 
the tulip fields in NL).

I know that this is a lot of different stuff, and I really don't expect icons 
for 
each and every one of them. Was simply going through my own bookmark file 
seeing 
whether there was a good icon for all the bookmarks that I made over the years 
and 
these are more or less the gaps that I came up with.

PS Not that I am very creative or very good with graphics, but can somebody 
explain 
in laymen's terms how you can create these icons. Because if I can get some 
good 
tutorial I might be interested in creating a couple of easy ones myself :-)

Willem,

Here are the the icons from the last set with the transparent background. The 
Zoo one
is with the Culture & Entertainment background since it belong to this set and 
not
the Tourism & Nature.

Glad you like them! Enjoy!

Willem,

Regarding your other suggestions I have some of them and I'll post them later, 
when
Nico is back from his holiday.

In the mean time I will post all your suggestions in 6 different post to make it
easier to follow up.  I'll also post an Issue about the Guide/Tutorial for 
making icons.

If you click on the star in front of the Issue number you will get e-mail 
updates
when someone post something in that issue.

Regards,

Matthias

I think I checked and edited the non-transparent icons you pointed.
Thanks a lot :)
You can pick the new ones on the frontpage.

Themepark still has the old problem as far as I can see

I checked another time, but I think it's OK : you may need to empty the cache 
of your
browser, because it saved the last version of the file. Just hit F5, can solve 
the
problem.
