Hey Glasklart-users and contributors!
As you know, Glasklart hasn't been updated in ages. It just grew into too big of chore to collect the icons from this thread. Despite my neglect, it has continued to thrive, which is great! It shows people really enjoy it.
A bright guy named Jeff Felchner approached me with the suggestion of using GitHub rather than MacThemes forum. It would offer a number of benefits, including:
* Free for open source
* Fine-grained user control over who can modify the project
* Anyone can submit new icons for consideration
* A tarball of the current state of the project is always available at a single URL with no need to do anything, ie no manual collecting of icons
* Better organization of which requested icons have yet to be finished
* Users can search issues to see if an icon has already been discussed/added
The potential roadblocks are as follows:
* Current contributors would have to get a Github account (it's free)
* Anyone who modifies the project would need to learn some basic Git. There are some very nice GUIs out there that would make it easier.
* Github currently does not have a file uploader when submitting issues. You can link to a file and it will show up (via Dropbox, CloudApp, etc) but you can't click "Upload" and select the file from your hard drive. Additionally, images will show up as an image and not as a link.
For this to work, we have to abandon posting icons to MacThemes.net.
It would be fantastic if those of you who have kept your Glasklart installation up-to-date would submit existing icons! The starting point is the current version available from Cydia, which is not even fully iOS 5 compatible.
Please go to the Glasklart HD repository set up by Jeff and read the excellent introduction to posting icons:
