[QUOTE=John the Gr8;30201125]Here's what I've done for icons: [img]http://sharpmindprojects.com/i/all.png[/img] Vote on what you prefer people! Edit: I have to note these are made by combining free stuff I found on iconspedia... Not really mine.[/QUOTE] Definitely #1
[QUOTE=John the Gr8;30201308]No actually vote between mine and barttool's... All 4 icons I posted are needed: 1st for forms, 2nd for tray when done syncing, 3rd for tray while syncing, and 4th for when offline[/QUOTE] the problem with those icons is that they're far too detailed to display right in such a small size like the icons of the taskbar. I made an icon just for the .exe file, I guess you could add the checkmark symbol and the sync symbol to mine if you were to use it. Also, the icon has all sizes required for vista/7: 256x256, 48x48, 36x36 and 16x16
[QUOTE=barttool;30200965]didn't know, sorry. Made a logo and an icon for FTPbox! [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25318683/logo.png[/url] [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25318683/FTPbox.ico[/url] All I can do for the meantime.[/QUOTE] I god damn love this logo!
[QUOTE=John the Gr8;30201211]Well how else am I supposed to show when app is syncing/done...?[/QUOTE] Instead of the circular arrow, perhaps an up arrow, next to a down arrow? It brings it away from the Dropbox like look
[QUOTE=Noth;30201433]Instead of the circular arrow, perhaps an up arrow, next to a down arrow? It brings it away from the Dropbox like look[/QUOTE] What's the problem with this looking like dropbox, I mean, it's not like it isn't inspired by dropbox and I find the dropbox icon taskbar really appealing and helpful.
[QUOTE=barttool;30201453]What's the problem with this looking like dropbox, I mean, it's not like it isn't inspired by dropbox and I find the dropbox icon taskbar really appealing and helpful.[/QUOTE] True, but the circular arrow for syncing is the only one that doesn't look quite good when in size of icon (in tray), so I might do what Noth said and see if it looks better that way! [editline]2nd June 2011[/editline] Gonna make a logo first

[QUOTE=FlamingSpaz;30201682]Even the name is made to sound like a rival to Dropbox[/QUOTE] It's in the title: "Dropbox alternative". That's the idea, no reason to hide it... Also: [img]http://sharpmindprojects.com/i/logo.png[/img] I don't like it much myself, I anyone could make something better I'd be happy to see...

I can't help but to think rsync would have been a better base for something like this, instead of ftp. Actually, with rsync, you wouldn't need this application, but good GUIs are always nice.
[QUOTE=zzlawlzz;30202013]for 'ftp://' tilt the way the box is tilting.[/QUOTE] It's kinda fiddly to get it to look right. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3368043/images/logo/ftpubuntu.png[/img]

Well I made some tray icons based on the logo I made: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25318683/icons.jpg[/url]

[QUOTE=barttool;30202121]Well I made some tray icons based on the logo I made: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25318683/icons.jpg[/url][/QUOTE] Those are awesome :buddy:
Also got an idea for when files are syncing: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25318683/syncing.gif[/url]
[QUOTE=barttool;30202532]Also got an idea for when files are syncing: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25318683/syncing.gif[/url][/QUOTE] Someone's gonna have a seizure Also you can stop trying now, John said he doesn't like your icons. But he doesn't have an eye when it comes to good design, so don't get offended

And that icon is supposed to be very small so it doesn't look annoying when it's in the taskbar.

[QUOTE=barttool;30202799]hmmm..He didn't say anything. And that icon is supposed to be very small so it doesn't look annoying when it's in the taskbar.[/QUOTE] Unfortunately it's true.
[QUOTE=zzlawlzz;30202826]he just said to vote.[/QUOTE] I am talking with him on steam. He's my very good e-friend. But you're free to not believe, because it doesn't matter :v: Hell we almost did rp sexychat, but he refused to admit he's a bit bisexual
To be honest, I didn't like his icons much... But seeing how others like them, I asked for a fair vote and all... I'm also working on a combination of our icons, in case I can make something even cooler than both :buddy: [editline]2nd June 2011[/editline] also don't listen to that troll...

I'm a designer. That's what I do all the time.
A designer? How old are you? Also im not a troll, this is a setup. I swear!
[QUOTE=johan_sm;30203045]A designer?

It's more about talent and experience than theory. I made a thread in GD about it and posted a quick mashup of some of my work: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25318683/Portafolio/portafolio.pdf[/url] (it takes a while to load, if you wanna watch you'd rather download it)
