iconfu news

Release notes for the latest iconfu:

  1. Added "fill" tool - fills a given set of contiguous transparent pixels with the current colour.
  2. Added "round-corners" action - rounds the corners of your icon. This was inspired by a collection of iphone icons, I wanted to prove iconfu could make iphone icons!
  3. Much-improved "draw border" action - previously it made a mess of curvy, antialiased edges, now it uses a much smarter algorithm, and it's pretty nice
  4. Draw ellipses at any angle (not just 0° and 90°)
  5. Draw ellipse outline (ie, specify a transparent "inner ellipse" area) for drawing rings and "O"s and rss feed icons and anything circular or elliptical
  6. Fixed a nasty defect that prevented conversion to .ico format if the original image was strictly black and white.

I made this flowery icon to try out all these exciting new features ...

(note the Alexandrian properties of borders, gradients, and repetition. I wasn't able to work in any Deep Interlock and Ambiguity, I'll try that for the next round)
