Following positive discussion on -dev, here's the
updated version of the PC/py*.ico files I hacked up a
while ago.
The attachment is a ZIP, not a patch, as it contains
only binaries. Also available as tgz:
http://doxdesk.com/img/software/py/win32-icons.tar.gz
Also possibly of interest:
http://doxdesk.com/img/software/py/icons3.zip
This attachment contains only the simple replacement
files; the icons3 ZIP also contains:
(probably not worth including at this point as they're
quite sizable and no-one is using Vista yet)
(there is currently no installer/shell support for
eggs,
but could be worth adding in future)
(this has not currently seen any discussion on -dev,
but may be worth considering if the intention is to
leave behind the purple/green snake branding)

Thanks! Are you willing to contribute them to the PSF, under
the terms of the contributor agreement at
http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/contrib-form/
?

Sure, no worries. I'll fax over the -python version since I
have ancient contributions to cover too.

Thanks for the patch. I have committed it as r46063. I put a
demo installer containing them at
http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/python-2.5.13290.msi
I would also like to add the source files, but I have
difficulties figuring out what they are. There is a source
directory; with:
that these aren't source files, are they?

Seems to work OK. The thanks at the end still attributes the
graphic to Erik though; I'm not after an ack there myself,
but changing the text to not imply the current graphic is
his one may be appropriate.
Yes. This is just the Python logo itself (the gradient
version as used on the new website), in vector format.
Same as source.xar, but exported as W3C standard SVG format
for wider compatibility [compressed, hence the 'z'].
Unfortunately because SVG cannot reproduce some of effects
used, and because the SVG export path is currently quite
bad, it's not really directly usable, but it might be of use
to anyone who wants to hack on the graphics but doesn't use
Xara.
This is the primary vector graphics source of the icons -
the other SVG and PNG files are just there because other
people requested them.
It's in Xara format, a previously proprietary graphics
application which has now gone open-source and is heading
rapidly towards being usable on Linux, but isn't quite there
yet.
Nope, they're just exactly the same content as in the
(with-vista) .ico files, just supplied as PNG for anyone who
wants to fiddle with them in a more accessible bitmap format.

Ok, I will then do the following changes still:

No probs and ta!
However...
I've got more altered icons, attached and at
http://doxdesk.com/img/software/py/win32-icons2.zip . Sorry
for the inconvenience - pretty sure these are 'final'.
The problem with the old files? Well it seems there's a bug
in Windows that can cause redraw errors on 32-bit
alpha-blended XP icons. I can't find any doc on this at all,
but from experiment it seems that it can occur when icons
are partially redrawn instead of drawn all at once. This is
most easily provoked by slowly dragging a window on top of
an Explorer window in Tiles/Icons/List mode, to reveal the
icon underneath.
It looks to be an arithmetic overflow in compositing: when a
nearly-transparent white pixel being plotted onto pure white
background in this partial-redraw code, a black pixel can
unexpectedly result, with poor-looking results. (Thanks,
Windows.)
I've hacked the bitmaps to avoid places where they're
white-and-transparent enough to be able to provoke this
aggravating occasional behaviour. Also while I'm at it, I've
removed the 256 colour 48x48 icons, since it saves a few K
and there's almost no practical case where they're of benefit.
cheers,

Hmm, I'm getting an http error 404 when accessing
http://doxdesk.com/img/software/py/win32-icons2.zip

Oh! Sorry - it's there now, and attached, as I had meant to
do originally.
No changes to any of the source files, as it's purely a
.ICO-level fix.
Cheers,
