How do I export it to a video?! So so good - T&L on fire lately.

That's just a fun term, safe to say it was a fair bit more than pennies for a pizza. $200 ruby motion was definitely paid off from this app.

Change log + details added as a .txt in the .zip
Re:Free Flag Icons on Thursday October 18, 2012 @03:41PM (#4670662)
Yep, sorry it was missing from the start. Should be in the .zip now!
Re:Free Flag Icons on Thursday October 18, 2012 @03:39PM (#4670651)
I'd love to know how so?

If you check out the flat flags the colors are exact, obviously the styled ones have subtle shadowing etc, and are probably out by a very small margin.

It's a set of flag icons for the web, it's not to hang off the government building.

If we did exact aspect ratios for every flag they would all be different and look shit. We tried to be as exact as possible with colors and shapes, if they don't work for you guys or are not close enough then you don't need to use them.

Not aimed directly at you, just at anyone who doesn't find them precise enough.

Licence is now in the .zip

If you want vector flags use wikiepedias SVG flags. These are made to be pixel perfect at different sizes, something that wouldn't work if we just batched them all from vectors.

The flags were made a while ago when there was less than 11, we will have to add a few more in the coming days.

See "How long did they take to make?" comment below.

Thanks! We'll be adding it to github in the next few days with this feature :)
Re:Free Flag Icons on Thursday October 18, 2012 @08:05AM (#4668364)
There are two folders within the zip, one has them named in this way :)
Re:Free Flag Icons on Thursday October 18, 2012 @08:05AM (#4668361)
The flags themselves, around 100hrs! We updated the styling and improvements this week which took a few more hours.

Thanks, we've updated that now.
Re:There is something magical about Firefox OS on Thursday September 13, 2012 @10:31AM (#4516287)
I just wish Firefox wasn't coping iOS. Slide open, 4 x 4 grid with a dock, swipe between panes. It's just sad that companies think this is the 'standard' for any phone os and stick to it. Metro gets some respect from me for taking a fresh approach, this, unfortunately doesn't.
