- I agree that my original choices weren't that brilliant - I made a mock-up of
- a menu in Everest last night and it was difficult to distinguish between the two
- characters........
-
- Choosing two characters that are standard could be tough, are you serious that
- WINX doesn't allow for other fonts?? The monaco font that come with NVDI has
- different icons for fuller and so on (not always logical), and as that is
- the only widely used replacement font (apart from Warp 9 fonts) I don't see
- that there is a big problem...
-
- As for the logo idea... I like it... I think a standard such as this needs a
- public face, as it were. Getting developers to accept it is one thing, but we
- also need to let the users know about it..... I'll dig my paint package out
- tonight and see if I can come up with :)
- BTW - is the logo to be colour of mono (or both) - and if it is in colour do
- I use the falcon palette or the ST palette?? (I think they're different)
