Apparently my work has already been done! There are some beautiful icons originally made for Ubuntu Studio that have give me everything I asked (tango-compliance and not looking too fat).
Ubuntu users can install the ubuntustudio-icon-theme package and look inside /usr/share/icons/UbuntuStudio/scalable/apps for the icons. There are 5 of them: wine.svg, wine-notepad.svg, wine-winecfg.svg, wine-uninstaller.svg, and wine-winefile.svg
If you're not on Ubuntu you can download the package and open it up like it were a tar file: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ubuntustudio-icon-theme
I've mirrored the icons here: http://yokozar.org/blog/content/icons/wine.svg http://yokozar.org/blog/content/icons/wine-notepad.svg http://yokozar.org/blog/content/icons/wine-winecfg.svg http://yokozar.org/blog/content/icons/wine-winefile.svg http://yokozar.org/blog/content/icons/wine-uninstaller.svg
Any comment on these?
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
I may be being a bit too picky here, but shouldn't the Winefile icon use an icon similar to the Windows File Manager? Like the cabinet icon used for Nautilus? Also, perhaps Wine apps should automatically get the Wine icon emblem set to them when they are installed and icons converted into Linux .desktop launchers.
That's what it already has. It looks like File Manager on an old Windows system. The argument is, to make it integrate better into the host system, that it needs icons that look more host-system-ish. And I agree, though my favourite colour is blue, so maybe I'm biased :)

Hi, thanks for your work, its great. i just patch my wine with it ;) The only negativ point would be the color for me. i rather would see it in "Windowsyellow" just to keep a bit of the look and feel.
Making the icon(s) configurable would be a bonus.

Yeah, AlphaBlending is not supported (hence the diagonals look jagged) -- theming is also affected.
NOTE: I have seen this happen on other Windows apps running on Windows. You need to have the image support an alpha channel - which I'm not sure icons do. I'm not sure of the API calls that are required, though, so it may require some changes to the static control support to render the bitmaps using alpha (in addition to keyed) transparency.
I believe *some* versions of the ANI/CUR/ICO formats support alpha channels, but I couldn't tell you where to look. Out of interest, what format do Vista/Windows 7 icons use, and do they support alpha channels? (I seem to recall some transparency effects on Vista icons, could be wrong).
