TY Acorn, Mikey, gwpriester. I really expected to wait a week to get an answer on this.
Funny, I know so little about graphics considering how much I use xara, and this was basically what I was going to do, but to me it didn't make sence, so I thought i was doing something wrong. But i found saving a 400x400 png/truecolor+alpha, then bringing it back into xara was much higher quality, even after resizing it back down to 35x35. I just assumed i can make a 35px image sharp like it looks in xara, but i guess not. Anyway if i didn't get any feedback ( or now that i have ) I think the best option is for me to just make a 200x200 or something an put it on the webpage as 35x35 and quality will be there.
This is actually for a web page application ( see info mockup of the app below ) but it is responsive so will work on mobile devices. I guess i just never thought
that making a big image even though i know more pixels have more resolution was the option, figured I was doing something wrong with xara.
These were the settings I was using minus the text cloning part. So basically you have tried to make them as good as they can be with xara. Thanks for doing that.
I think I want to make them sharper so will just make them monster size and just put them on the webpage at 35x35, but if not I'll do as you suggest for them.
Can't believe I got so much feedback on this on a sunday, really appreciate it.
These icons are actually for a web application that my coder has spent about 300 hours making and Im just making some final tweeks to the interface. I used xara for years to make my mockups then give it to my coder. Anyway attached is a screenshot of the application while im normally protective of sites/ideas Im working on unless you own a gold site, with good traffic, I'm not worried about showing this a week before it goes live, and would love
any feedback you good designers might want to give.
The look is all stuff I make in xara for my coder to replicate. I'm actually very happy with this
project, but it is a free tool so I'll probably take a total bath on it. My brother in law runs a physical we-buy-gold business, and I have to update his pay prices on his website every couple months because they are not dynamic, so I figured this would be useful to that type, and other gold related business. So basically I looked at what currently existed, and tried to make something 100x better. Not sure if i got that, but I know for this obscure niche its working
far better than anything out there.
Unfortunately the mockup doesn't convey all the features, nor different templates it has. Only the most simple (test template) is
visible.. Anyway the tool allows gold site owners to make a widget that displays prices in many different ways on there websites and its very easy to match the current look of any site with no coding, just a few slider changes, color picker stuff and there good to go, and just copy and paste it into there website or send the code to their webmaster. Also the canvas area is real time display there is no waiting as all changes are instant. Gold buyers website owners they just have to
enter the % of what they pay for gold and other metals and embed it on there website and it will always update dynamically
for there current buy price.
It was a real chore to keep the interface simple to use because it has so many tools. There is an advanced setting tab on this (witch i hid because its becoming convoluted for avg business owner to use) that pretty much
has every CSS option possible, but maybe I'll un-hide that depending on feedback I get from users.
Thanks again for the help on the icons..

Ah yes capt.I should've known you really weren't making them to be used as mobile/tablet icons. My bad. Although the part about shrinking them down a little and framing them with a transparent circle or rectangle might still apply. Maybe. Possibly.
