New Tango skin!
« on: December 08, 2007, 01:00:14 PM »

EDIT: You can always find the latest version of this skin on my deviantArt page:
http://mischamajskij.deviantart.com/art/Tango-skin-for-aMule-2-2-71670328



I've made some changes to my previously posted Tango skin, as wuischke suggested.

Main features:
- new zip format
- no weather forecast icons (although I thought it was a good idea, deloun)
- aMule icon is a rabbit and has been drawn after the classic animated logo (I agree with this choice, but... why don't you call the app "eRabbit" or "eBunny" instead?  ;))
- new network connection icons (a word about these: they now show the connection STATUS, not the button's action. Users may need to get used to this, but I think it's more pleasant to see and I found many contributed eMule skins on the net that offer such behaviour, so many people must like it)

I attach 2 versions, which differ mainly in the client status icons (the first one is more "traditional", since some users may miss the old exclamation marks) and in the Import icon.

Thanks to all the iconists who drew the original icons I used.
Suggestions / critics welcome.

New version uploaded!

Changes:

- new Shared Files toolbar icon

(the blue folder has been removed since many tango themes use custom folder icons; also, the hand image is now the standard emblem for shared files in the gnome icon theme, which is in turn inherited by the classic tango theme)

New version ( v. 2.8 ) uploaded! Changes:

- new file rating icons (the bullet is now 15x15 px because wxgtk will trim the image 1 px from top)

- minor glitches fixed in some client icons (Client_Unknown, Client_StatusUnknown)

New version uploaded! ( 2.9, 25/02/2008 ).

This will hopefullly be the last one before 3.0, which will be released as soon as the new app icon will be completed and accetted (a couple months or so, because I'm very busy at the moment...).
All icons can now be considered definitive, except the Client_aMule which will eventually show the new app icon.

Changes:

- I finally removed the rabbit icon from the toolbar by replacing the Toolbar_Import with a new one showing a "partfile" being imported.

- I finally found a really good-looking set of icons for the file rating, which won't get trimmed by wxgtk. "Excellent" rating is now symbolized by a green star, while all other ratings feature a small coloured bullet. I also interchanged the colours of "fair" and "good" ratings, which were inverted.

- New Client_Friend and Client_BadGuy icons, more appropriate and recognizable even under overlays.

- README fixed and updated.

The new import icon looks great, I like it. I've updated the tango skin in the tarball, can't wait to see your work on the icon.

Thank you!
Unfortunately I'm quite busy at the moment (exams again...), so you'll have to be patient...

Remember: Real life > aMule :-)

Don't you worry, it wasn't meant literally. ;-) Of course I can wait, but I'm very interested in the results.
