Hi, folks.

Attached you will find a suggestion for an AndTweet-ized
notification area icon. Any thoughts?


Cheers

I like it...
but may it be colored?
(On Android v2.1 I see coloured "Missed call" icon)

Sure it can. But the icon design guidelines state that colored icons
should only be used by phone functions to have the urgency signaled
somehow:

(It's at the subsection "Color palette".)

Thank you for the link Matthias,
...so let it be "monochromatic" :-)

BTW: I don't understand why all graphics-related tips in Android
documentaion are for Adobe Photoshop ???
Are we supposed to pay some hundred dollars to develop Open Source
software?!
I don't believe GIMP can't do the same...
I opened corresponding issue in Android project, please discuss there:
