Kakashi, I really appreciate your commitment, but I'm afraid that you are wasting your time.  I don't need a "close" icon, and I already have the icons for "playable", etc... Also, such big icons are completely useless. The main difficulty with icons, it's to get small icons that look crisp and sleek. |

These are actually the first icons I've ever made. I've always wanted to learn but never knew what to make.  For me its just another learning experience. I'll need practice for building my own icons.As a learning procedure i tried to see if i was able to copy your playable icon (it worked  ) so I went on to practice on a few of my own. hence:kakashi wrote: Any Images I upload here were made by me, you can do what you want with them...

Attachment: icons.png The main thing that matters is that i now know how to make (and scale) icons.  These are my first. I'll prob be a lot better by the time I actually NEED icons. |

Size test... 16: Attachment: 16.png [ 848 Bytes | Viewed 7559 times ] 32: Attachment: 32.png [ 2.02 KiB | Viewed 7559 times ] 48: Attachment: 48.png [ 3.75 KiB | Viewed 7559 times ] 16 seems hardly click-able... It's pretty small compared to what you're using now. |

Just noticed. I was looking at the play icon. I forgot that it gets bigger when i hover. Also bear in mind that using custom icons means you can use virtually any size you feel like, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 ... (anything that feels right to you) (cool) Hector wrote: For the menu, you won't have to click precisely on the icon. OK |

Coollector's icons are custom icons. They were made specifically for Coollector. Now that I have settled for those two sizes, I must stick to them, or that would look weird. |

Wow, i thought 32x32 was much smaller than this: Attachment: Capture.JPG [ 209.3 KiB | Viewed 7504 times ] I now see why you chose those sizes (this is just a lower quality screenshot, the real image is over the 256Kb limit) |

I suppose all the icons you would need are now accounted for? |

http://www.coollector.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=574&start=30 You asked how to visually marry the numbers and icons. My answer: By sticking to lightly colored, smooth and relatively curvy icons (since the numbers are already light and smooth and with circular edges). As long as this is done and all the icons work in harmony with each other then it looks good. |
