Re: Icon Wunschkonzert - AISS Edition
Illusionist

@Wanderer

Very nice! ...for the first step

Quote:
I have a couple of suggestions for AISS:


Your welcome!


Quote:
1. The images are rather small.
A scaling solution would be really handy, would also make listview-images obsolete, since you could use any image in small size
I can offer an algorithm to scale GUI-Image-friendly and prepare an example preview if you are interested.


Please note: AISS is just an environment to store and maintain images. There is no program code added - just the environment to access the images will be set up.

I do not like the idea of image scaling. The main point is not the quality of the images, but the quality of the expression. You have to reduce the details of the big images to a minimum as they will look bad in scaled down versions of the icon.


Quote:
2. For being painted 1:1, they seem to be a bit blurry to me, see the comparism on the image above with the original HD-Rec images.


That's because they have no 'hard' border. This icons are based on Matt Chaputs Glowicons series witch use the same style of visualisation.


Quote:
3. They are also quite pale for my taste, they could need a bit more contrast.


See above...


Quote:
4. The selected state is almost no difference in many of the images, at least the ones I tried. E.g. see the tool bar in the notator window, it is impossible to see which tool is activated.


I have to agree! But even there is an answer. Most developers use a button with the image that indicates that the image is pressed. Even if all imge set would have a different selected state it would be impossible to know whitch state shows if the button is pressed or not. Maybe it would be possble to add an indicator that a icon is pressed or activated.


Quote:
5. Missing images
For HD-Rec, I would need a couple of images more.
Best is if you would install it and check.
Most missing is something for the waveeditor, the notes, solo/mute buttons for the mixer.


I've had an first look at it. Think it could be done - but please be a little patiant as I am not very experianced with sound programs...


Quote:
6. The tape-play images are not clear enough for my tast. Compare them with HD-Rec tape-play images.


Maybe they look better with another background or some kind of button.(Please see answer about "stamp" buttons.


Quote:
7. If you have buttons which are very likely to be placed together, like zoom in, zoom out and zoom fit, it is too much to have multiple magnifiers glasses. Looks kind of strings, see the right/bottom edges of HD-Recs windows.


Wow that's the biggest amount of magnifier glasses I have seen in a single window so far. In a first attempt I would suggest to use the "add" and "remove" images for zoom in and zoom out.

Quote:
In HD-Rec, I will also add the functionality to "stamp" the images onto a blank button, like Aqua oder simple rectangle. Maybe this could also be an idea for AISS.


Nice idea and it would be easy to add some bubble images. I suggest to arrange a bubble button with 3 layers: The first layer is the background of the bubble, then the AISS image and on top a third image.

What do you think?

I agree! The best way is to build an AISS compatible environment during the installation and put the images from there

@J?rg & Chris

I have done a pointer set for OWB and Netsurf (also some additional pointes). Will send them right after this post. Hope they will fit!


@orgin

The problem is not the licence of AISS! Imho the one and only problem was the complexity of AISS! Even I said it is better NOT to add it to OS4.1. If a change of the icon style is needed in 4.2+ you have to change that 2000 AISS icons too.

There is also no problem to use AISS images without general AISS support. Just ask for permission and I am sure it will be granted. Imho the best solution to deal with this issue is used by Epistula from Slash. It comes with generic Glowicons toolbar images and AISS support is provided by changing the prefs.

Icon Wunschkonzert - AISS Edition
Illusionist
Illusionist


Think it is time again for a new Icon Wunschkonzert, but this time for AISS images.

This round is not only for developers! Maybe some of them get inspired by your request to start a new project...

Different rules as for the first two rounds:

1) Please have a look at the docs if the icon allready exists
2) Three icon request per member
3) General toolbar sets (e.g. tapedeck) are possible

As allways I will try to do them asap!

1) by TSK: listview images, listview video, listview text
2) by Salass00: play selection, zoom to selection, zoom out full (done)
3) by J?rg & Chris: pointer images for OWB and Netsurf (done)
4) by Wanderer: HD-Rec images
5) by ShInKurO: replace all, go to line, Fn key (done) also added some additional key images
6) by centaurz: cd burn, cd rip (done)

I've been playing around with a program called Inkscape to see what's possible with svg images. So far, the images are a little more "cartoony" than I'd like, but I've only just started.


Now I am scared! I did the same some time ago and I came to the same result that the svg icons will look like a comic. I am not sure if it is worth the work...

I've successfully built OWB Doduo for AmigaOS4 already, but just with the minimal required changes to get it working at all (using SDL and libfreetype, i.e. no tool bar, AmigaOS4 font implementation, events, window, etc. yet) and I've just started porting it to AmigaOS4.


That's great news! Hope to see it on AmigaOS4 soon!

No need to be confused! I should have told you that it is just a status update.


@Chris

I just noticed that is allready part of OS4 when tried to save the new one... No need for an excuse imho


@Snuffy

I will have a look at a alternative icon as soon as the problems are solved. Hope this is ok for you...


@all

The icons will be released when all pachages are finished.
