Folder Icon for Guckys Home Plugin (1 Viewer)

[cheffe97]

Hi,
as u probably know Gucky is creating a new Home plugin where the user can define a structure for the menu.
He uses the original icons of the skins.
Buuut:
U can define Submenus (folders) where u can have several plugins (just like MyPlugins now but user definable).
Question: Can u create a standard icon for folders? Or have u got a better idea how to integrate it in the look and feel of MP?

cheers

Currently there is already a system that skinners can use to assign button images for each specific plugin. This is currently only beeing used by Metal. You can see that each pugin has it's own button with a plugin specific icon.

This is done by having an image called "button_<plugin name>.png"and "buttonNF_<plugin name>.png". The image with NF is shown when the button does not have focus. Take a look at the images in the Metal skin to see how it works

IMHO it would be a good idea to use something similar for folders so that the skinner can decide if he wants to use it or not. So maybe if an image like "button_folder.png" is available that that image will be used and "buttonNF_folder.png" when the button is not highlighted.
