Question to the developers: what format do you want the icons in?

[Colin Clark]

James,

I realized no one got back to you concretely about this. I like Justin's idea of attaching images to JIRA issues associated with each screen or component.

So far, we've been doing pretty well just pulling graphics and icons directly out of the OmniGraffle wireframes, but not everyone in the community has access to this (Mac-only) tool. Guest book is a priority, since Antranig is working on this right now and won't have access to the raw wireframes to pull the graphics out himself.

We are indeed using transparent PNGs. FSS does indeed handle buttons, so you're correct that only the graphics inside them are needed. For icons that are displayed at a fixed size, we'd prefer images that are cropped to exactly the specified size.

Does this help?

(i.e., the graphic itself will touch the image border; the icons of the same type will be roughly the same size, but a few pixels off from each other)
