Not keen on the current skin but thats fine I can chage that ASAP

Question: When on the simple view there are a load of BOINC Icons (letter B) for each project, will these have a project icon there instead at some point?

It would probably help if people knew how to create them projects, have you emailed them/the project list ?) and put them on the server, or even know that they should start looking in to it.

By the way should this test version be on the main download page, you used to put them under the 'dev' page.

Personaly I like it this way, but I would have thought putting the 5.7.x development series under 'dev=1' and when you switch to 5.8.x release tests then put it on the mian download page as a development version until it goes gold.

So what size on disk do those icons need to be? I know it's 40x40 pixels at 16 million colours. And that it needs to be a PNG file. But if I make one for a test, the icon being 5KB doesn't show up.

Hi, it looks very nice. Any chance to get icon & gif & skin info ASAP as I'd like to put it in our demo at Supercomputing '06 next week (Tolu & I are off to warm up in Tampa, hooray!). Or should I not show this in public yet?

I would like to know the xml and icon specs also. I would like to put the info and some screenshots in my next podcast.

Yes, please post some information about the skin. By the way, "translate to German" is "Ins Deutsche übersetzen" in German, not "in Deutschen übersetzen" ;)

Dave A posted some info on this, it was sent to the boinc_projects list and should be in the recent archive. Basically you'll a logo that's a 40x40 pixel png, and some 290 pixel-wide graphics that can be used as the project "slideshow." and use a newer scheduler from BOINC CVS. No specs on changing the skin yet. I have updated CPDN to allow for beta testers to get a CPDN "slideshow" & icon.
