Stoic Joker, GotSpace? looks like a pretty cool utility! And BTW I've used T-Clock for years !! :) -kunkel321 (December 20, 2011, 03:56 PM)

Thanks, I'm hoping to get T-Clock back on the front burner after the new year.
Do you (or anyone) have any thoughts on what visual image corresponds to "ability to view drive space available?"
I imagine it would include a magnifying glass... Or a ruler(?)-kunkel321 (December 20, 2011, 03:56 PM)

I'm guessing something along the lines of the default drive properties dialog's pie chart. But not the boaring flat 2 dimensional type that I would end up creating (for me, art skills = no). Actually I was hoping someone else had a better idea... :)

Okie dokey... I'm off to a good start.

or at least somekind of start!
I kept the same goddaweful colors that Microsoft uses, because that's what makes it visually recognizable to our brains.
The idea of "monitoring" or "seeing" suggests a magnifying glass, reading glasses, a ruler, or some other measuring device. I think magnifying glasses are way over-used in app icons, so I found these examples of calipers on a Google Image search. Thought I'd replicate one of them and have it measuring the pie chart. Which do you prefer though? Plain old A, or fancier D? I sortof like D better, but the icon should be recognizable even at 16x16 pix... (of course I can always make a different image for low-rez/hi-rez).

Yes, D tracks much better with the cartoon mad scientist measures monkey brain aesthetic which has best proven to please our target demographic.

It's good to see we're both on the same wavelength! ;)

(no rush but) I have the rest of Got Space? ready for final release, so let me know where we're at with the icon.
