the image demonstrated, how now easy is it to recognize a file and file type... also when the files are displayed as list in the folder, with icon dimension 16X16

all icons are redesigned...
the *.flm file have now two different versions.. the first one with text the second one image based!
I add a new type called "LuxRender big ONE snow & stealth"
this latest one design... come out while searching a solution for the optimization! hope you like it!
since most of the LuxRender file extension have in common "lx" like in *.lxs, *.lxm etc. .... I have decided to use the letter that is different... like the "s" in *.lxs to build the icon.

the icons are made under the gimp, the font I used is the LuxRender official one!

please post comment and/or suggestions

sorry for new thread... but the release was to big to add it to the existing one.

Generally i prefer the stealth cathegory, and IMHO the new with the big letter are the best.

Cool stuff. I'll update the installer and check it out "live".

:D
which one do you prefer?
I personally use the "Luxrender big ONE stealth"... the new flm stealth... image based and the reedited smallLux's!

here a sneak peak of the alpha based... for dark and light interface! it's just an experiment! they are nice to see on image based background!!

I like the "Luxrender stealth optimized" icons
because I can read the text better on the dark background.
Nice work...

+1 for the Stealth theme

But may I ask where you found the Luxrender text? I thought I had replaced the file with one with correct capitalisation (LuxRender, with a big R), but it seems the old version keeps popping up.

edit: apparently I had not updated the logo yet, attached is the proper version

They look great, however when I checked them out "up close", I found it confusing that you had used "m" for both flm and lxm. I suggest you use "f" for flm.

edit: also, vista or newer supports 256x256 icons, could you make this resolution as well? That is, I can't get it to display the 128x128 version unless there's a 256x256 version in the ico file... :?:

well... about "m" sure I think about and decided to use "m" in blueish aura.... for the lxm exist versions in white and orange aura ;)
blue is dedicated for flm like green is only for lxs...

since the flm file is more like a raw image file... I add a new flm icon with a cam objective.... but there is no problem i can change "m" to "f",
no problem about...

about icon size 256X256 with vista support... yes I can add this size... but you must give me some time to recreate the files...
you must understand that my icon project.. come out while playing a bit with gimp... and I don't think about the sizes.. and the future interest around it.. :) so I started directly with 128 size... sorry

well... now I will directly start by creating a 512X512 but I need some time... there is also a problem...icon that are optimized for vista 256X256... have display problem on xp for example... but I can ad a 256 sized non optimized icon if it's ok!
let me know!
