To whom this may concern, I downloaded the UCSF Chimera 1.4.1 update for Mac OS X and noticed that the Chimera symbol had a grey outline around it, likely due to multiple alpha channels in rendering the image into .ICNS format, so I recomposed the image in higher quality and it is attached below. Also below is an accompanying symbol for MS Windows format (.ICO). These icons are free of charge, keep up the good work.

Dear Jessen, Thanks a lot for these! They are very nice. I assume it's okay for us to redistribute these when we make our Chimera software release? We will have to do a little work on them to make them completely usable in a release. In particular the "masks" section of the file is exactly the same shape as the icon, which is normally what you would want. However, in the case of this icon, with its big "hole" in the middle, it's best if the hole is filled in in the mask, so that you can double-click on the that part of the icon and have the application start up, instead of having to hit the "rim" with your double click. Do you have the mask image available in a separate file BTW? Again, thank you so much. These are a noticeable improvement on our current set of icons. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab On Aug 3, 2010, at 8:57 PM, Jessen Vernon Bredeson wrote:

Another mailing list hiccup. Please ignore this. Sorry for the spam. --Eric On Aug 5, 2010, at 7:50 PM, Eric Pettersen wrote:
