Re: New Quran Application Icon

Assalamu Alaikum,


I don't know why you didn't comment on this topic at all as I thought 
there would be at least a few mails. So please comment now as I want to 
know what you think about the icon I made and what you think of having a 
new icon for the Quran project at all.

Yes, I tried several tools (sodipodi, karbon, adobe illustrator, 
sketsa), but I could not do it with them properly (especially the 
ornaments).

Can please someone test whether the icons look the same when you use 
something else than Adobe's SVG browser plug-in? Maybe with GNOME (I 
think nautilus has SVG support) or "ksvgtopng" (or however it is called).

btw.: The SVG file contains the leaning image.
       You can make it the upright one with modifications at two
       places. If you want me to explain where mail me.

Maybe you didn't answer because of this. So this mail tells you I'm back 
  again ;).
