Hi all,

today i checked out, after a long time, lazarus trunk ( i usually work with fixes 2 6 ) and after i choose the sqldb tab, i noticed the ms sql icon. Because i didn't like it much and had some free time, i opened Gimp and tried to do something different.

After LacaK2's comment in the 0021578 bug which states

For graphic for MS SQL, look at http://www.microsoft.com/web/media/icons/sql-icon.png [^ <http://www.microsoft.com/web/media/icons/sql-icon.png>] I do not know if we can use graphic motif or there are any licence restrictions

i googled a little and found this
http://www.microsoft.com/About/Legal/EN/US/IntellectualProperty/Permissions/Default.aspx#ENE and quoting :

Microsoft product icons are the thumbnail-sized images indicating that a Microsoft product has been installed on your operating system. *Icons may not be used* in advertising, in books and other printed matter, on clothing or other promotional items, in online and Internet locations,*in software applications*, in television programs, in commercials, in movies, or on videotape.

Just for your information.

regards,

PS: The image tmysql55connection.png doesn't exist in the design dir.

Thanks. As I mentioned in the bug report, my skills definitely do not lay in graphic design, so better looking icons would be very welcome. If you have a replacement for the Sybase icon, be my guest as well ;)

I suspected that before I looked at the link ;)
Thanks for confirming it.

Thanks,
