Aquaria icon: Windows vs Mac vs Linux
« on: June 17, 2010, 05:41:39 am »
The question: Which OS's Aquaria icon do you like?

I personally like the Mac's icon, though I'm not sure how the half-heart ribbon factors in, The Windows icon looks like a carved plaque of some sort (following Windows' "robust-ish" theme). I don't like the Linux icon, just because it really doesn't look like Naija, and it seems to be designed for user interfaces 4 years ago.

Yeah, I don't think everyone of us has a Mac and a pc with Windows and Linux on it, including all 3 kinda of Aquaria, so a screenie would be nice.

Even though I expect Mac to have some kind of big good looking icon cause that fits with the Mac.

If you think it's a half-heart, you don't know your Aquarian that well. ;)

I haven't seen the Windows icon but the humble mac version includes an image which I believe is the linux icon and I have to agree, it really doesn't look good.
The "half-heart" is an Aquarian A.

Hmm... I never noticed that the half-heart thing was an Aquarian A. Of course, I was looking at a fairly small version of the icon on the MacOS dock, and missed that little curve at the top.

I wish we all had the mac one. :3

Another reason not to use Linux: Aquaria has an ugly icon. Oh noes! Linux users probably are geeky enough to know how to swap it with the mac icon though. Either that or they wouldn't care. :3

My version of Linux doesn't have any icons in the menus, so I didn't realize there was an icon at all. But, as you said, I imagine it would be pretty easy to swap the images. :)

Ooh, pretty! I'd never seen the Mac logo. And that's an Aquarian 'A', right?
