Guide To Fixing The Icons Gallery

=ipholio:iconipholio: reports, January 20, 2007
The Icons gallery a misused mêlée of art theft, unauthorized art reuse, mis-categorizations and under-representations. These troubles cannot be dealt with properly without most or all of the following concepts occurring or being heavily considered. Thus, this list has been compiled to be a checklist of sorts for administration.

Removal Of Unused Or Expendable Icons Tiers

:pointr: eIcons - We were under the assumption it had finally been removed, but the locked gallery is still present.
:pointr: mp3text - All [unlikely] submissions, as with eIcons, would be relocated to Miscellaneous.
:pointr: Buddy Icons - All submissions would be relocated Avatars> Messenger Display.
:pointr: Signature Banners - Category moved under Designs & Interfaces; Gallery description also needs expansion including strict rules about copyrighted image reuse.

Relocation Of And The Creation Of New Icons Tiers

Avatars
:pointr: Avatars> deviantART
:pointr: Avatars> Messenger Display [AOL, Windows Live Messenger [msn], Trillian, et cetera]
:pointr: Avatars> Miscellaneous

Emoticons
:pointr: Emoticons> Static
:pointr: Emoticons> Animated
:pointr: Emoticons> Projects

File And Size Limitations

These are to be appended to the gallery descriptions. Bear in mind this only concerns the actual file, not preview.

Avatars
:pointr: Avatars> deviantART - .Gif, .Png, .Jpeg; .Zip, .Rar; 50*50 pixels maximum/minimum size.
:pointr: Avatars> Messenger Display - .Gif, .Png, .Jpeg, .Zip, .Rar; 50*50 pixels to 100*100 pixels.
:pointr: Avatars> Miscellaneous - .Gif, .Png, .Jpeg, .Zip, .Rar; 25*25 pixels to 150*150 pixels

Cursors
:pointr: .Ani, .Rar, .Zip; 32*32, any file over this limit [such as multiple cursors in one deviation that transcend this maximum value] automatically warrants the necessity of a preview image and archival file [.rar, zip.].

Dock Icons
:pointr: .Png, .Rar, .Zip; Preferably 128*128 or 256*256.

Emoticons
:pointr: .Gif, ,Png, .Zip, .Rar; Any emoticon submission over 100*100 pixels automatically warrants the use of a preview image

IconPackager
:pointr: .Ip, .Iptheme, .Iconpackage, .Rar, .Zip

OS Icons
:pointr: *NIX - .Icon, .Png, .Rar, .Svg, .Tif(f), .Xpm, .Zip; 16*16, 32*32, 48*48, 72*72, 96*96, 128*128, 256*256
:pointr: Mac OS - .Icns, .Dmg, .Png, .Sit; 16*16, 32*32, 48*48, 72*72, 96*96, 128*128, 256*256
:pointr: Windows - .Ico, .Icl, .Png, .Rar, .Zip; 16*16, 32*32, 48*48, 72*72, 96*96, 128*128, 256*256

New Gallery Director

:pointr: Bring on another Gallery Director to manage Cursors, Dock Icons, OS Icons, & IconPackager; ^livius manages Avatars, Emoticons, Miscellaneous. This particular division of galleries between directors isn't necessarily the rule, but would provide for both directors to equally shoulder Icons as a whole.

Creation Of New And Replacement Of Outdated Gallery Icons

:pointr: Avatars> deviantART
:pointr: Avatars> Messenger Display
:pointr: Avatars> Miscellaneous
:pointr: Cursors
:pointr: IconPackager
:pointr: Miscellaneous
:pointr: OS Icons

Removal Of Shadows On Gallery Browse Pages

Nice little compilation of ideas. :aww:

Though, wouldn't it have been better to note $Moonbeam13 or ^livius about this? They seem to be the appropriate party to deal with this.

I've already exchanged notes with $Moonbeam13 for a while now. She stated she would like to hear our views, so we opted to make it a news article to both share our views and gather community support.

Welcome to the Editorial section. ;)

:iconcamelhijackation:
[It's] An editorial directly related to the Icons gallery of deviantART, so yes.
:iconlazybutt:
She said post it in a news article?

I personally don't think that was the smartest thing to do -- perhaps a journal would have been better, bring the attention of her to your journal instead of making a news article about the whole thing.

But, I think the news has been slowly going down-hill the past month or two. So, this will blend right in.
