really good! thanks! I will certainly use it in the future!(within an other apps..)

icon and .desktop file

I have made a small icon for this app.

Waterpas

Tell me what you think about it - i'd be glad to see it as the app's default icon.






Here's what my /usr/share/applications/gwaterpas.desktop looks like:

Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Waterpas
Comment=3D sensor
Exec=gwaterpas
Icon=gwaterpas
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utilities;Utility;
SingleInstance=true
StartupNotify=true

Would be interesting to add resolution/accuracy informations to this wiki page. -> what should be expected to be measurable (how many degrees) -- cberger
