It was quite a while ago that I was bored with X11.app's b&w icon. And since X.org has a, IMO, more pleasing and colorful logo I created a new icon. It's based on this logo and the SVG I've found under http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:X.Org_Logo.svg . So here's a preview http://www.lisanet.de/pivot/entry.php?id=41 and the download (right click on it) http://www.lisanet.de/images/X11.icns What do you think about putting this into the X11.app bundle? Simone -- in the arms of your angel, you may find some comfort here.

Hmmm. Nicht schlect! Das schaut ganz besser als unsere aktuelle Icon aus. :) OK, that's about it for my rusty rusty german, so I'll switch to english... I think it's certainly an excellent candidate to replace the current icon, and the right way of going about that would be to: 1. Put a license on your logo which makes it clear you're releasing it under the same X.org license. 2. Submit it in a ticket to Xquartz (New Bug Report) As long as the proper procedures are followed, I see no reason why it couldn't be in future X11.app bundles. Contributions of artwork as well as code are always appreciated. Thanks, Simone! - Jordan
Jordan, is the "creative commons" license sufficient, or does it actually need to be MIT licensed? Forgive me, but I prefer to not hurt my head with licensing issues. If it is the latter, then I'm guessing there's probably a checkbox you can toggle for that license on wikimedia, Simone. --Jeremy On May 17, 2008, at 17:15, Jordan K. Hubbard wrote:

I'll put in under MIT/X11 so this should be sufficient.

BTW, wikimedia isn't accepting *.icns files :-( Simone
