icon comparison screenshot

Hi Jens,

The screenshot you showed me is not an issue with the icons I provided. Rather,
there is an issue with how the icons were packaged.

I took a look at the ibus-anthy package in F13:
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/ibus-anthy/1.2.0.20091127/1.fc13/x86_64/ibus-anthy-1.2.0.20091127-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm

There is only one icon packaged in this rpm. It's packaged to be deployed to
/usr/share/ibus-anthy/icons/ibus-anthy.png. This icon is 48x48 pixels. This is
not the size icon meant for display on the panel.

I am attaching a screenshot to show how a 48x48 icon is not suitable for the
GNOME panel. In the screenshot, you can see the icon as packaged on the left
-unreadable. You can see the 24x24 px icon I provided on the right - it is much
more readable, the key label is larger, and the artwork is crisp because it was
designed to snap properly within the pixel grid.

I am not sure why 'Anthy' text got added to the bottom of the 48x48 icon but
it's not readable at 22x22 and should probably be removed from the 48x48 icon.
I don't think adding 'Anthy' to the icon is a good idea because as a general
principle text does not work well in icons. Look at the icons on your desktop
right now - how many have words written in them? The pixels in text are too
complex to work at the sizes icons are typically displayed at.

What I would advise doing is to package all the icons provided
(http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/icons/Anthy/) into /usr/share/icons/hicolor
rather than /usr/share/ibus-anthy. Here is where each icon provided should be
deployed to:

http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/icons/Anthy/16x16/anthy.png should be deployed to 
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/anthy.png


http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/icons/Anthy/24x24/anthy.png should be deployed to 
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/anthy.png


http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/icons/Anthy/32x32/anthy.png should be deployed to 
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/anthy.png


http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/icons/Anthy/48x48/anthy.png should be deployed to 
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/anthy.png


http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/icons/Anthy/scalable/anthy.png should be deployed
to 
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/anthy.png

This way, if the user has a larger panel, the panel can automatically determine
the correct size icon to use.
