Question

Have you ever used any funniest/coolest image/icon in your application?

If yes, which is your's best?

Answer 1

Using AutoIt, we prevent our users from exiting a terminal emulator (used to access a legacy unix app via ssh) by any means other than ending the application in the way it expects. Anyway, so when they try to just close the terminal window, a picture of a pirate pops up and shakes his fist at the user.

Answer 2

I used to make art for bush doofs, dance parties, raves, whatever. I grew quite fond of one creation and used him as an easter egg in a point of sale application I helped write.

Years later I drove into a bottle shop (Australian term for drive-through liquor store, crazy I know!), recognised the system and convinced the guy to press CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + - (I think that was the key combo:) and was delighted to see my dolphin pop up!

Of course the guy was a little freaked out as it took over the whole screen, but it was only a 10 second flash before the system returned :)

Once when developing an app for a firm of Financial Advisors - the icon on the button for the lenders screen had a shark on it. They thought it was hilarious...
