:: Silk Icon Set for MM 2 + 3 (almost ) ::

kemie · Post by **kemie** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 4:36 am

Hey guys, I'm a MM newbie, so I don't quite know what to do next.

After much head scratching, testing and retesting, and reading online, it seems that the problem with the icons with black backgrounds might be that the icons ar being resized in the application. How can I find out if that's the case? Putting in a message in the bug forum seems a bit overkill, and I'm sure developers dont have icons as the highest priority.

So, what should i do? Just leave it be until MM3 is more advanced?

Sorry, I wrote bullshit.

I would contact a dev anyway...

if the icons are being treated as buttons in the skin then the black color is only being used to show clickable area of image.
and white is non clickable area of image.

this might be the reason some are having trouble showing?

that and there are some bugs in mm 3 beta skin right now.

roving, but the odd thing is it happens on some icons and not others, and its icons that should have the same kind of function...

the first pixel (top left) is taken as the transparent color. These Icons which aren't transparent have all something painted on the tep left. So if you relfect the image so that there's nothing on the top left, it should be ok - it does for me!

BTW it's not enough to only clear the first top left pixel, but i down't know why.

i looking forward to this almost just as much as the mm3 release, 'cause if it's one thing that has annoyed me with mm it's the ugly icons

BINGO!
Onkel enno, you've got it!
i cleared the upper right pixel and it works!
The set is till missing some MM3 icons (waiting for devs to release a full list /pack), but the ones that are there work!

Now when I was reading this thread and though about the icons in the navigation window I came to think about another thing.
It would be soo great if the user could choice to show or hide the "tree" on the left of the icons.
I really think these dotted lines and small + signs just looks plottery and pretty ugly. You understand that a title is a child of another by the left margin and if its collapsable there could be a small arrow or something. This would really make me and many other "design thinking people" glad:D

Happy for a answer devs:)

It will eventually be a (better) fix for this, but not for v3.0.

I downloaded them like a day before I made that post. MM2, btw.

PS -- That's the only one I have noticed any problems with.

Just noticed this a few moments ago:

When your at a point where editing the tag is not available, the button doesn't display with a background, though I have no clue on how buttons work so maybe it would still act like this even if the button image was busted. No clue, just thought I would point it out and see what's up.
