Heidisql: Dont use Serif for the logo

[gemal]

Nice with a new logo but having Serif as the font in the logo does no good for it.

I really think the readability on small icons and screens the logo could be improved if you used Sans Serif

Also I see no Serif other places:

[ansgarbecker]

Really?

Sigh.. well I see your point.

[rentalhost]

Really, make sense. But taking advantage of the topic, the new icon, although more elegant, is practically unreadable in 16x16 (the upper part).

FWIW, i liked the yellow in the previous logo more than the white in the new one.

The "new" logo in my opinion is ugly and almost unreadable. Fortunately the old one is still used in the uninstaller and I could use that one instead.

[ansgarbecker]

So you say I should bring back the old one?

[gemal]

I actually like the new logo, just with a minor "fix" for the serif font :)

[wrufeger]

I would return to the old icon as it was a recognizable CI for the last years. But in the end its your decision and its just an icon. Features, performance and stability are way more important.

Here's a new attempt, bringing most of the old style back:

... here's the now less problematic 16px version:

[rentalhost]

Maybe you can keep the new version, but for small versions (16px and 32px) you outline with a white color, so HS will be highlighted anyway.

How I don't have the source, so I did an (ugly) draft of Photoshop:

32px version (keep same, but with Sans-serif):

32px version:

16px version:

The radius of white outline could be reduced for 32px version, and the letter could be increased for 16px version a very bit.

I really liked of the new version because the outline seems like a glass border.

Speaking of an icon that is practically unreadable in 16x16, in windows10 shortcuts it is missing.

But I really want to report the main ERROR: The Program is closing (does not respond) when the connection to the bank drops (Ex .: in cases of IP change)

@eletroe please keep the discussion here on-topic.

https://github.com/HeidiSQL/HeidiSQL/issues/877 is already open for this - you would see this if you did a 30s issue search first. if you want to report something different than what's described there, please open a new issue.

@leeoniya I don't speak your language, I used the translator for the report. Sorry if I offended you.

[leeoniya]

no worries, i was not offended.

@rentalhost Thanks for your input. I just pushed exactly what you suggested, see the pdn file for Paint.net in the above commit. I think that's it.

@ansgarbecker what is the font family?
