[PATCH for Jean-Pierre] - 180 new good looking icons for KiCad

 

Hello,
after my last big icon release a year or two ago, I am happy to submit here
approx 180 reviewed icons for KiCad. Thank to the great help of
Konstantin (Константин
Барановский), I have improved and modified almost all those KiCad icons
that still had a dubious look.

I can quite surely say that with this icon update KiCad is going to looks
pretty professional.

I will probably still update few more icons but nothing major. For the time
being I'd like to rest a little and put my time on something different than
a 26 by 26 tiny image.

Jean-Pierre, as we discussed I am sending here a zipped folder with 180
icons that should be copied in:
kicad.bzr/bitmaps_png/sources/

I also would like to point out that the Makefile might have to be modified
to automatically generate the icons in:
kicad.bzr/bitmaps_png/icons

However, not being completely sure about what these icons are for (maybe MS
Windows?), I reserve an opinion.

One last thing, I tried to be as conservative as possible in changing the
look of any current icon. I apologize to all those guys who will have to
update the documentation in all those various language. For the English
ones I have already started myself doing it and well... if you have to
change your girlfriend for Claudia
Shiffer<http://celebcenter.us/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/claudiaschiffer1.jpg>some
effort is to be expected ;-)

Merci
Fabrizio
