If i may say my opinion i think it would be better. Icon is quite small and right now its just represent n900 not shortcutd.

What does we need to represent shortcutd?

A Camera Button and a Proximity sensor?

Next try... I'm not a professional graphic artist, I only want to contribute this way.

Edit: The right Icon should looks smarter on coloured backgrounds.

I think that this one is a bit messy. The icon has to be more "symbolic" and less screenshot-like. Yes, I'm being picky here

The current icon (made by me) is just a letter "S" on a arrow-like background. It's ugly, but I think mentioning this works as an example that the icon really doesn't have to "look like the program". (can't attach it here right now)

I've got no further inspirations. I have tried to get a analogy what the program does. But, maybe, you're right.

And a screenshot icon of a background running daemon?
Yes, the Idea was not the best...

Am I the single person trying to help with a icon?

Okay, next try. It looks not pretty well. Feedback needed!
Could something like this go in the right direction? What Colors could be the best? Or the same symbol only white and grey shaded?

I tryed to bring shortcutd to a symbol. Personally I like the screenshot Icon more.

I've added also 3 examples how it looks like on different backgrounds.

Mh, I guess... with every attemp you like your own symbol more and more.

I'm thinking about a hand with six fingers as an icon. Unfortunately, I'm to busy with other things at the moment.

I actually like this one
Maybe you could also make a version with only the letters (without the arrow and the blocks)?

No problem at all.
Suggestions on the color?

Okay, still no prefered colors? No special wishes?

Then here you have the same without arrow and squarebox. Additional with seperated letters. Hopefully we can find a good one.

But, hqh and hopbeat... it's hard to find a icon as good as your application. Nearly impossible!
