Title: New button for window tiltle got-pos needed
Post by: prissi on August 28, 2011, 10:07:01 PM
Now almost any dialogue got a coordinate display and a connected button to go there, which is new for  citiy and depots windows. However the "eye"-icon I drew is horrible. Please, all graphics articts out there, provide a nicer icon for the default skin, please.

Any sketch to inspire? perhaps a sample image?

A nice grey eye graphics was my idea for location. But it could be as well a lighthouse or a compass. Whatever could indicate: "By pressing this button the map will jump to the location of the item shown in this dialoge"

And what size does it need to be?

Something like this one, perhaps?

Same size than the other items in the skins.png. However, the pin is very similar to the sticky icon. So maybe not a pin.

Yes, the pin isn't a good idea, some days ago I created a pin, but to use as the sticky icon. It didn't look good.

Here are 4 options:

Has one of these been integrated into any pakset yet?

Yes, into trunk.

Hmm - I can't find the skin .pngs in the pak64 repository. Perhaps I'm being dim: apologies for asking what is probably obvious, but where can I find the skins?

Not in any pakset, in the executable trunk. There is a directory skins.src
