Description
Now that the toolbar icons and game banners are high resolution (and look great), what's left are the files in Source/Core/DolphinWX/resources. They should have 2x versions for Retina displays on OS X, and potentially high DPI on other platforms if someone implements it. These are:
Flag_*
Platform_{Gamecube,Wad,Wii}
rating{0..5}
and less important:
isoprop_{disc,file,folder} (only displayed in one tab of the ISO properties dialog)
toolbar_* (only displayed in the debugger)
CCing jordan.woyak because he last updated the flag images.

- Status changed from New to New
- Category set to ui
- Easy set to Yes
I can make high resolution versions of these pretty easily. Just make sure I have copies of all of the files and the dimensions that the emulator needs.

Tagging is so we don't forget. Remember, all I need is the resource images we have, and I can make @2x versions. It wouldn't even be hard. But until I have the current files I can't do much. I know there's US, EU, JP, KOR flags but there are a few other variations. Russian? Australian? I have no idea how this works.

@MaJoR: All of the country flags we use are taken directly from Wikipedia. If you need more info, feel free to contact me.

Looking ugly on 2x is definitely a defect.

Have we decided whether we want to keep the black outline for the flags?

The new dolphin_logo.png also needs a 2x version.

Somehow the link I posted disappeared. I'll post it again: http://www.mediafire.com/download/jnn8yawepfxmpbq/Flags.rar
They're made of 62x42 in .PNG format, each have 1x black borders
LMK if you want 64x44 instead.
Updated by MayImilae over 9 years ago
No black borders please, and make sure they are 64x44.
The issue was never creating them though, it was -making them look good-. I choked on that. :(

As far as I can tell, the biggest problem is that wx only allows loading images at 2x either by loading them from a file, or using GIGANTIC HACKS, as demonstrated in my changeset for adding the 2x logo. If everything were offloaded to files, this would be easy, but they're compiled into the program, which, while more sensible from a distribution standpoint, screws with wx's preconceived notions.
Basically, this is all wx's fault.

64x44 flags without black borders: http://www.mediafire.com/download/nt82rkygj0oct5j/Flags+64x44+-borders.rar
The @1x set will still have black border and we'd have to replace them with slightly larger flag images during the down-scaling process.

Unknown flag, design based on Dolphin's nobanner.png image (giant X)
Used with GIMP, font is Verdana and size is 25 (at least in GIMP)

Can this be closed since this can't really be solved on anything but OS X until wx gets updated, which we shouldn't do until after 5.0 anyways?
Updated by rukariosake over 9 years ago
Just update the @1x unknown flag then we can be done for now.

4.0-6990 https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/ced89be3b7e734402d01adafe10e20fed83dd48a/ adds new borderless flags and @2x and @4x flags, but the hidpi sizes will only be on OS X for now. Platform and rating icons still need to be done.
Updated by MayImilae over 9 years ago
Neeeevermind, nothing will be using them yet because WX is still calling the xpm files! Bleeeh.

It would be nice to get this finished off. Platform images now have 2x and 4x versions but we are still missing hi DPI versions of the ratings icons, isoproperties_disc, isoproperties_file, isoproperties_folder, and the debug icons. Also I haven't been able to find where the ratings icons, isoproperties_disc, isoproperties_file, and isoproperties_folder came from so we might want to redo those from scratch so we know for sure what the license is for those images.

There's only a few files left to remake.
@Maylmilae Do you have these images done someplace?

Update:
The ratings and debug icons have been removed.
dolphin_logo.png doesn't have a 4x version, but the 2x is large enough that I don't think it's a problem.
nobanner doesn't have a 4x version, but I've created a PR to add one: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/9722
The isoproperties_* images were introduced as .xpm files back in 2009 with this commit: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/commit/e76d2a1a4c5997673d9e7480d3818a51f4097416. No explanation for the source of the images was given, and my attempts to reverse image search them hasn't yielded any results. There's a git-svn-id linked in the commit text that might conceivably have more information, but if there's an archive of it I don't know where it is. Given the small size of the icons and their niche usage, I agree with PEmu that we should just replace them.
