Volunteer Icon Artist needed

Hi All,

To make Sigil work better with high dpi displays (such as the 4K displays and retina displays) being used now, Sigil needs to create double sized icons that are consistent with the 16x16 px and 22x22 px icons that already exist in Sigil now.

I was able to find 48x48 versions of many of our toolbar icons by looking in opensource icon collections (where the original icons must have been taken).

But for a number of actions, Sigil's earlier developers must have created their own icons. For this set, all I have been able to do is use ImageMagick to scale the 22x22px icons up to 44x44 px icons, but frankly many of them look ragged and horrible at the larger size.

So what we need is someone who has some artistic ability to create 48x48 px replacements for the following icons as found in Sigil/src/Resource_Files/main/ folder:

Spoiler:

format-case-titlecase_44px.png
format-case-uppercase_44px.png
format-direction-default_44px.png
format-direction-ltr_44px.png
format-direction-rtl_44px.png
format-text-subscript_44px.png
format-text-superscript_44px.png
generate-toc_44px.png
heading-1_44px.png
heading-2_44px.png
heading-3_44px.png
heading-4_44px.png
heading-5_44px.png
heading-6_44px.png
heading-normal_44px.png
insert-bullet-list_44px.png
insert-hyperlink_44px.png
insert-id_44px.png
insert-image_44px.png
insert-numbered-list_44px.png
insert-special-character_44px.png
metadata-editor_44px.png
split-section_44px.png
view-book_44px.png
view-code_44px.png
view-split_44px.png


These new 48x48 px replacements must be consistent with their existing 22x22px and 16x16px versions or something new generated for all 3 sizes so that they are consistent.

Please note, we are NOT trying to redesign the interface icons, we simply need higher quality versions of the icons listed above so that Sigil continues to work on high dpi (high resolution displays).

If you can help, that would be wonderful! Please let us know here.

Thanks,

Kevin

ps I have uploaded the icons that we need to have replaced with better 48x48 px versions in case anyone wants to look at them.
