Icon Request(s) (1 Viewer)

[Inker]

Folks, if there's any designers that could help us. We would need:

- 1 Icon representing MP-TVSeries for use in the MP-Config Plugins Page. Should be faded and unfaded (for enabled and disabled)
- 2 Status Icon representing progress statuses....waiting, in progress, and finished. This is for the import progress, which we are trying to make a bit nicer. These should be very small. Waiting can perhaps be left out or at least be very faded or something. It would be enough if someone new of a nice icon set that is free for us to use and distribute, but something specifically done for the project will probably be better

We'll also need some testers in irc in the near future, but that will come later.

I think you need to show some of the other similar icons, so somehow knows what style you want, and also if possible a screenshot of where you want the icon, because obviously a dark blue icon on a dark blue background is invisible.

Same style as our other icons I guess.

This is for the config window, so its not skin specific. Background is light-grey to white. I'll post some screenshots tonight.

Heres some screenshots:

1) icon for plugin in config needed here
2) icons for status needed here (green done, yellow in progress, nothing waiting, of course the colors can be different, but maybe something like a traffic light)
3) also this is step one (no icons needed here, just a bit of a teaser really)

This is what I've come up with, created as a quick mockup. I'm not too sure about the config logo, I don't really have a good idead about that.
The orb can be made in any color you want. This yellow one is just an example.

I like the one for the config, its simple yet to the point. But remove the text, the name of the plugin is right below the icon anyways (and its MP-TV Series and not TV Shows).

The orb is ok too I guess, Icon size I need for this is 16x16.

But, I was thinking today that color coding is probably too much like "error, all ok" etc. Thats what green, yellow, red tells me.

So maybe a better approach would be:
- Waiting: empty checkbox
- Progress: some kind of animation, I like the bluish spinning wheel in Windows
- Finished: checked Checkbox

Anyways, you will probably get to test this without the icons in place, we can always add/change them later. I'm not too concerned about it. It's just one of those things that make a polished impression.

What kind of file is needed for animation within MyTVseries config? Just .gif or does it require a special format?

 

[Inker]

Yup, gif is fine, obviously try to keep the frame count and in general file size low.

Thnx for helping!

What about a TV that displays "S01E01" - I think most of us would recognize that

strange idea perhaps, but why not ask the moving pictures developers if you can use their progress icons.... They have some nice ones in use.
