Hi,
thanks, I am glad you like them.
may I ask why you want the buttons size to stay at 16pt? is it only a
matter of space? if so, how?
unfortunately an icon that looks great at 26x26 might not be
understandable at 16X16. Having the two options sometimes means to
have two different sets of icons. In our case would mean about 820
icons...
I guess what I am hoping here is to understand if we could be all
happy with larger and more beautiful icons. It is important to know
that more pixel does not always mean larger icons, obviously on the
same monitor it does. I however respect your desire, I know that some
people are crazy for tiny icons that sometimes you can even miss.
Dick, yep, I did know about the currently available .svg, thanks, and
I did already use all of them ;-). It would be great if we could put
our hands on (.svg) buttons from other similar applications... Anybody
knows any good .svg source?
One of the great things about open-source is that you can fish around
big time and people would thank you for that !.
Regards
Fabrizio

Beautiful buttons.
I'd like to put in my vote for menu buttons staying at 16px or having a
setting for it in preferences.

Dear All,
I have spent some time trying to put together a new set of icons and
buttons that might make KiCad look a little better.
Here you have an example of where I am so far:
http://www.vincentresearch.com/tmp/
Would it be possible:
- to know if there is anybody interested in helping me out
- to know if there is anybody willing to help me to modify the current
code in order to accommodate the new icons/buttons.
- to have the .svg files (or some equivalent vectorial format) of the
current buttons set
-
I do not want to try to undo anything that somebody has done so far
and for this it would be great to have some feedback on the current
status and some opinions on where I am heading.
I'd like to propose to use PNG format for all icons and buttons and
64px for the KiCad buttons to start the 6 current programs. Also I'd
like to propose to drop the 16pt buttons used everywhere for a larger
24px buttons. That includes top bar buttons as well as lateral (left
and right bars). How does it sound?
Best regards
Fabrizio
