Ok, maybe don't do a 'hollow' Q. Just take the 'normal' football as depicted in the above icons and add the 'down-right' part of the Q to it, the part that differentiates an O from a Q, if you get what I mean...

Hi there! Some more icon request for you

'Arrow Down (with underscore?)' for download of league statistics (will be in the 'Select' tab tree view next to the selected season)
'?' for a new 'about' tab
Icons for 'downloaded' matches and table tabs (the ones that currently have the 'Games' and 'Standings' texts). These will be operational once the download of TeamStats from SoccerDB is implemented (imminent). The base could be the same as for the two existing ones, but maybe with the 'arrow down' added to them to show it is downloaded data? Not sure if the icons are big enough for that though...
'Simple line chart' icon to symbolize the yet to be developed 'statistics' tab. This if for future relesease. I want to display some statistics based on the downloaded TeamStats data.
Icons (for display in 'Select' and 'Favourites' tab) and backgrounds for other sports: Am. Football, Basketball, Icehockey. Le't try to keep a 'consistent' look and feel between the backgrounds. They should be 'generic', i.e., no 'league specific' logos included such as the NHL or NBA logos. Please DON'T provide backgrounds for any other sports right now! Let's settle on a nice 'common theme' for those 1+3 major ones before starting with Floorball, Rugby, Cricket, Baseball, Field Hockey and I don't know what else...

Your contributions in the graphics department really help me concentrate on the coding.

One question though... So far, I'm happily including whatever your are giving me. Can you reassure me that I have the right to include it in the app? Are there any limitations to the licences for the stuff you produce and/or find? It's not a big issue now, but once it gets into Extras (sooner rather than later...) I'd rather not have any surprises

thats what i meant by "loosing too much detail when the icon is so small".

Nobody sees the Q-thing sticking out and people just get confused. Icon design is hard to get right, at the moment i strongly advise to keep it as simple as possible!

Is there anyway of doing this without being root? or is there any chance in the future to instal without being root?

At the moment, I'm afraid you have to be root. As soon as PR1.2 is out, it should be a matter of a day or two for me to make sure everything is OK before uploading it to Extras-Devel again. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Well, there are some 2,000+ posts in a thread dedicated to guesses on when Nokia is going to release PR1.2:

Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date (2,020)

Sadly that thread is full of useless posts, ohwell just a waiting game i guess

Added the following icons to the lightblue icon-set in sizes 32x32, 48x48 and 64x64.

I am not really happy with the ones for the downloaded matches and tables though.
Do you really need those?

Can´t you do somethin like:
-> User selects table from matchday x
-> check if DB contains this matchday
-> (a) if yes, show matchday from DB (maybe with a small symbol indicating data is from DB)
(b) if no, download matchday

Additionally you may want to check if machtday x is from today and if yes, force a download to make sure the most current data is shown in case it is still updated due to ongoing games.
And you can add a button to let the user manually force an update.

This way you don´t need the 2 extra tabs and save valuable screen space.
And I think for the users its also easier because they dont have to care about which tab to choose and where tha data comes from (online or offline) unless they want to...
