Re: About icons

 

It's been difficult getting ahold of my friend lately. He doesn't have Mac
OS X but I think he has Photoshop and/or Inkscape.

What style are you asking for, Stani/Igor? I see the diffs between Offset
and Sketch but nothing to unite the two…

Once you've told me I'll ask my friend what he can do about it. Robin
proposed that we ask Sycamoreent (my friend) if he wants to do phatch.org or
something. Sycamoreent is on summer break like me, so he should have plenty
of time.
