Open comments in new window icon

#

I had a request to open comments in a new window on my site. But I hate that, so I wanted to make it optional. I settled on creating an icon that opens the comments in a new window if you click on it.

It's a 14x12 4K PNG with a transparent background that looks OK on most colors (it was designed for a white background).

Here is light blue.

Here is orange.

Here is green.

Here is aqua.

Here's what it looks like in context:

The icon was inspired by the "New Window" QBullet, but is a lot simpler.

You can use this on your site if you like. I place this icon in the public domain.

Update: Uh, I guess IE 6 doesn't support transparent PNGs. So if you want to use this on a colored background, convert it to a GIF.

Life Hacks

Danny O'Brien's Life Hacks talk sounds like it was pretty cool. I need to do more of this stuff...my scripting abilities totally blow and it hurts my productivity. I also don't know Emacs as well as I should.
