0.08 Icons/Images - Help Wanted! (Page 4 of 5)

Icon Nazi!

;p

Well then, I'd suggest making the play/pause/stop icons just slightly bigger. At the size that I keep my Dock icons (which is not excessively minuscule or anything), it's a bit difficult to make out the 'current status' icon at a glance.

^ I shall try those when I have access to zeh Mac.

But I'm pretty sure I'll find that those status icons will be much too small, seeing as I keep my Dock icons at approx. 32 pixels wide.

Even this is nicer looking, I would've preferred the older one where the status icon is a big icon in the middle.

Otherwise, I still like this icon very much.

Well, Cog is vspader's baby (or "creation" if it's any less creepy), so it's understandable that if there's certain aspect of it he especially likes, it won't be that easy to just convince him to change it just like that.

Perhaps what would be ideal is full blown customization options like Adium, where you can change stuff, namely the Dock icon in our case. (If I remember correctly, we also discussed long ago the idea of letting the user choose the file icons as well.)

But of course, this won't be happening for a looong time, if at all.

Me too, but with the current setup, that can not be done.
The icon is placed in the bottom right, navigating from the top left corner of the .png file.
I'll try resizing it, but I don't think it will be pretty

Here's a nifty set of icons I found while looking around.  Don't know if they've been posted already, but it wouldn't hurt.  Comes in a bunch of cool colors too

I agree, and I would definitely change it if I could.

Just messing around a bit with the last mockup

The picture is not showing for some reason.
You can use bayimg.org, they let your pictures stay forever

The iTunish look is nice.

I am (very) slowly doing my way in creating an icon. I will post here when I have somewhat more complete version.

nice

I read that!
But you can customize your own icon and badges just by replacing the files inside the app package
It's really easy!

Damn, those are spiffy!

It's still somewhat of a problem that the badges can't be placed in the middle of the icon, though
You should try making them bigger, they're a bit small in the dock

Otherwise, very stylish piece of work

Slick as always.

However, I still have the same issue as some of the other ones: at small Dock icon sizes, the Play and Pause symbols are very, very tiny.

I thought having the actual Play/Pause symbols not be in a container (that gray/silver rectangle) would be better.

Like this:

(except I would personally like the symbols to be a bit bigger)

The symbols would be bigger, and since the symbols would not be 'contained' within the same shape (a rectangle) as is the case in the latest version, then the symbols would be easier to recognize and distinguish.

I also thought having the symbol be in the middle of the icon was also good.

Like this:

This would allow the symbols to be large enough even in small Dock icon sizes, thus always easy to recognize and distinguish.
