Installer Icon

This directory is for generating a (somewhat crude) installer icon in all the formats Windows wants. It's "somewhat crude" because in this case all resolutions are generated from a single SVG file. (Ideally, of course, we'd have resolution-specific/tweaked versions of the icons, and the makefile could accommodate that, it just hasn't been done yet.)

Sources

The SVG contains the Sensics "favicon" logo, as well as the "download" icon from FontAwesome - specifically, via the split-out SVG available from https://github.com/encharm/Font-Awesome-SVG-PNG/blob/master/black/svg/download.svg

Building

This requires a Unix-like shell with make (MSYS will do), Inkscape (to convert SVG to PNG), and ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick (to perform color palette conversions and the final .ico generation).

Make variables you might be interested in:

• CONVERT - if your convert executable from xMagick is named something else or needs a path.
• INKSCAPE - if your inkscape executable is named something strange or needs a path.

Targets:

• icon - this is the default target: does all the conversions, finally producing an .ico file.
• clean - removes all "intermediate" files: all generated files except the .ico file.
• realclean - removes all generated files, including the .ico file.

Modifications

Since not everyone interacting with this repo will have the tools/setup required to do the build, the .ico file is committed. If you modify something in here that would change the output, please re-run make and commit the new .ico.
