I remember getting my first 17" monitor, and it was positively HUGE - it +could even show 1024 by 768 pixels (a pixel is a single dot on your screen). Wow! + +In those days, most icons were 16 by 16 pixels because if they were any bigger, they'd get in the way of the rest of the +user interface. And so we created static icons that were stuck at 16 by 16 pixels. Time moves on, but sadly without a +designer, OpenLP was unable to move on too, and now we're stuck with tiny icons and 4K screens. + +If you're a designer and you'd like to contribute to OpenLP, now's your chance! We really need a refreshed icon set, one +that can scale with the monitor sizes of today. You'll need to have working knowledge of Inkscape (or be willing to +learn how to use it), and the time available to design about 150 icons (or less, if we have a number of designers who +work together). + +You can get into contact with us via `IRC`_, the `forums`_ or info [at] openlp.org. + +[ Image Credit: `Drawing opals by Mauro Cateb`_ ] + +.. _IRC: https://webchat.freenode.net/?nick=openlpwebuser..&channels=openlp&prompt=1&uio=d4 +.. _forums: https://forums.openlp.org/ +.. _Drawing opals by Mauro Cateb: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mauroescritor/34785068921/ === added file 'files/cover-images/looking-for-an-icon-designer.jpg' Binary files files/cover-images/looking-for-an-icon-designer.jpg 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 and files/cover-images/looking-for-an-icon-designer.jpg 2018-02-08 23:28:47 +0000 differ
