Icons

[(cool) Hector]

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

Your icons are not bad at all. You're clearly more at ease with a drawing tool than I am.

But I wouldn't use them inside Coollector, because they're not homogeneous with the other icons.

Too bad, I hope you find what you need soon.

Thanks, I guess thats now just 1 more of my many skills.

You asked how to visually marry the numbers and icons.

I think you've already given me the answer => users who'll choose the icons have a lot of screen space.

So I'll probably use the standard layout we find in most software => the icons with the text below.

Yes

Yes, thats why i always estimate the size of your icons wrong. I'm using full HD (1920x1080), all your icons look ultra small. My mouse is a G700 though (http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/mice/devices/7244#section=features) so i'm able to switch speeds in an instant and click individual pixels if necessary.

eg. i just found out that the 'wish' icon has a picture of a box in it even though i've been using it all this time.

Was your screenshot fullscreen?

Was your screen shot fullscreen?

Almost. My screen is 1280x800.

Your style button changes the position the text in the movies panel. Can you add an extra style where all text is hidden?

(Browsing with covers only) i dont want to trouble you if it takes more than a few mins.

I had hesitated to add this style, and then I've decided not to add it. Maybe I'll reconsider in the future.

they're not homogeneous with the other icons.

I think the main difference is that I made heavy use of anti aliasing to make mine smoother. I just figured out how to add some more sharpness (even though i prefer the smooth look). I however doubt it will make much of a difference in homogeneity. Do you see an improvement?

You'll probably have to hire the same person if you want them to look exactly the same...

It's not what I meant. It's just that I have the feeling (and maybe I'm wrong) that if we placed your icons next to the other icons, they'd catch the eye and look like intruders. We'd have to make the test, but I don't have the time right now, as I'm much too busy with other things. But probably it'd be possible to adjust your icons to make them fit with the others, we'll see.

Take for instance your price icon. Instead of a dollar sign inside an abstract green bubble, I think it'd be better to make it look like a coin. Because no other icon is a symbol inside an abstract bubble (well ok, there's the "play" icon, but that's because it's a sign that everybody recognizes).

I would try to help but I'm out of time.

My pursuer has finally caught up and freedom no longer reigns. It is the beginning of the end. The weekend has ended, I can no longer ignore the terrible fate that awaits me in the morrow.

No problem. Thank you for what you've done. I'm out of time too. As I said, the menu bar with icons isn't a priority.
