This is just a spot for some icons...

Post by kunkel321 »

I moved this post from here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 11#p132111
[carrying the discussion from there]
RE icon: I'm in a bit of a funk now... The idea with the original "Starcase" icon was that it was an exact replication of two stock xyplorer icons, just combined. As noted, that doesn't really work now, because the colors of the star and the briefcase are too similar. I guess it looks okay to lighten the star, but that breaks the pattern of "piggy backing" on existing images. Then again, I had already altered the briefcase into a "flat" look anyway...

Here is another idea: (top of image) I altered the "new tab" image to show two tabs, since SessionManager can save settings for both sides....
Maybe it would make more sense to have a little "favorites" star on top of two tabs though (??)
I dunno... I think I, also, like the old version of the icon. I probably will just convert all of these to ICO format, then Flux, or whoever, can use any one they want...

EDIT: Here we go. Might need to darken the outline of the tabs...
It stays with the original schema of utilizing already-existing images from xyplorer.

Attached is just this one... I'll convert the others at some point...
Maybe I'll just keep editing this post, so that I don't have to continue hijacking Flux's thread as much....

A couple more...

Tan colored folder tabs was Klownboy's idea...
Looks pretty good, I think. I had to make the briefcase super-dark to contrast though...

Hi kunkel321, I do like the way your TanTabNCase128 icon turned out. It looks great even a 24x24. The BlueTabsNCase128.ico is also nice but at the smaller size like 24x24, I think the briefcase could be darker such that it stands out or contrast with the folders more...maybe if you darkened it or used the darker version of the briefcase used in the TanTabsNcase128. Thanks.

EDIT2: Klownboy, did I ever reply to your above post? I think I might've edited the post above it as a "response." Not sure though.
