This is an easy one... could someone please replace the pixelated .ico file that installs with the start.jnlp ?

here's one... I just used the .png image off the header of this forum and dropped in an online converter (and then changed the icon from the properties of the shortcut)

Thanks!

UD.ico

well the size is just what the converter spit out from png to ico… I didn’t specify any resolution or compression or color indexes that may make it a few kb lighter 

You lost me on the profit bit though - unless you’re insinuating I should make it a node and sell in the polyglot store ? or maybe a UDI NFT?

actually interestingly it has the same udlogo.png reference is in the shortcut and the splash screen… obviously it looks fine on the splash screen so something is happening to make the .ico file low res on creation.

pixelated .ico file

just odd question...what resolution do you use that this icon is pixelated? Using different screens, but mostly at 1920x1080 I don't seem to have an issue with the default icon used. You must have better eyes or different screens to have issues on this icon.

my monitors are also just 1920x1080

attached is the default ico that the jnlp wrote from my %localuser%\AppData\Local\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\349e3a262-125aaaed.ico

You've apparently got too much time on your hands. If that's what you're "worried" about.

I mean, I guess it's something if you sit and stare at it, but there's something to be said about life beyond the screen.

image.png <- screen clip - you know...it gets the job done.

If you look closely enough you may see a very small eye or iris staring back at you.

Michel told me he could see me in the shower once but it was a Freudian slip,


.... not that I have ever worn one.

I'm not sure where you're going with this - it wasnt much worry at all on my part- I noticed the icon looked like shit and fixed mine. Thought I may share a suggestion that it might be easy to make it look better (for all).  I guess we all have too much time on our hands that we're having this inane discussion. Maybe just delete the thread?

Relax. We like to have fun sometimes here. It may be nice to teach other people how to do custom icons though.

i can take a joke or sarcasm - i'm not offended or anything, i just truly dont know what point of debating the aesthetics gets us.    as for doing custom icons, sure you could take any image you like and drop into something like ICO Convert - Create Icons From PNG & JPG Images Online (Im not endorsing this particular one any more than any other free service out there-  I'm sure there are plenty this was just the first hit when i googled) and then replace the default icon by right-clicking on the shortcut > properties > change icon and browse to where ever you saved your .ico file
