uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro | Well, in the original iPhone icons, the gradient is from light at the bottom to transparent on the top. That's what I've kept. Yours would indeed look better, but it wouldn't be like the iPhone's. | |

Neither would keeping the shine below the chat icon bubbles  | |
uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro | OK OK, I'll see if I can get it BELOW the shine...  | |
ghostnatyphon Who Dares Wins Profil: Penguin Pro | Hey, just joking, you should leave them above, they look better, and most people would rather they looked better than were all the same  | |
uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro | The YouTube TV icon thingie... I haven't decided what it's going to be in the pack... maybe I'll change it later to make it the Media Player icon. 
| |
ghostnatyphon Who Dares Wins Profil: Penguin Pro | Not bad, not bad at all - the screen color is great  | |
uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro | And the Calendar:  Notice the date.  EDIT: And the console/CMD icon: 
| |
ghostnatyphon Who Dares Wins Profil: Penguin Pro | Nice date  Though the choice of color I think fell down... to me, the red is too light, under the gloss it goes to pink... perhaps a darker red or green? | |
uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro | That's how it is in the iPhone. 
| |
ghostnatyphon Who Dares Wins Profil: Penguin Pro | No, your red is a lot redder/brighter. And I notice there's no glossy semi circle on the iPhone one, hence it won't go pink. | |
uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro | Jeez...  
| |
poiru Profil: Moderator | That calendar icon looks much better - even though its seems its a bit too dark now  But, I don't think anyone will care when the icon is 32x32 or something.. | |
pspgamer Profil: Top Penguin | Great work There is aliasing in the top of the calender icon  | |
uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro | I know, I've tried my best, but it won't go away... If I use blur, the gradient gets affected and it comes out of the icon... When I try to remove the thing that comes out, the aliasing comes back... It look OK when smaller though. | |
ghostnatyphon Who Dares Wins Profil: Penguin Pro | There was a trick Asher posted a link to that would remove aliasing... can't remember it though  How have you structured the psd? Can't you just, redraw the shape? And how have you applied the gradients? That often affects aliasing. | |
uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro | It's a vector, so there really shouldn't be any aliasing. That's what bugs me. And yes, I've tried Asher's trick... which is sort of a blur trick.  | |
ghostnatyphon Who Dares Wins Profil: Penguin Pro | Well it might be the way you've applied the gradient, have you used colour overlay, or put a gradient on a new layer with a selection? | |
pspgamer Profil: Top Penguin | | |
uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro | No need, I applied a little blur to one of the Layer Masks... it looks better now:  I dunno, I think CS2 was not built for really large graphics. Even in my tuxes, the vectors always create aliasing on larger resolutions... but never on lower ones. | |

That's not because of PS but the way that you apply the effects  | |
Asher Genius is not born , it is made.... Profil: Moderator | The aliasing above red part was due to the overlapping of white-layer and the red bar , which could have been fixed if you had moved the red bar just 2px up , did you try to put gradients the way as I suggested you , nice icon BTW  | |
uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro | Asher, it wouldn't be like the iPhone if I applied a custom gradient.  | |
ghostnatyphon Who Dares Wins Profil: Penguin Pro | Or if you didn't have the gloss on top  Mwa ha ha! Oh, I'm evil  | |
uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro | I was wondering... when I complete this pack, should I release it on CrX as 512px or 256px? I'll release both on my main website (whenever it's done)... but which would generate more downloads on CrystalXP? | |
ghostnatyphon Who Dares Wins Profil: Penguin Pro | Dunno... how many people who download icons off CXP have leopard? I'm sure they can easily resize... and if it's ona dock it'll get resized anyway... and resizing wont make any differenc eon the final quality wether the icon is 256x256 or 512x512... I would at first think 256 but then, better to have too much than not enough right? | |
