additional icons

2003-10-18 Thread rand valentine
  Hi, all. I'm wondering if there is anywhere where I can easily get more
icons to add to a kind of general store of them for standard Revolution
development. For example, there are only a couple of next and previous
navigational icons in the standard set, and they ain't that pretty, nor are
the metacard icons that are included with RunRev. We could all use a couple
of dozen more, I'm sure! So here are my questions:

1. where can I find additional (pretty) icons? What are the factors that one
must consider with icons in general in RunRev? Where can I find a good
discussion of this?

2. how consistent are icons across platforms, esp. Mac and Windows? Eg,
can I insert an icon in a stack I'm developing on a Mac and will it then
show up all pretty under Windows (assuming it begins that way on the Mac)?

  Thanks.

Hi rand,

  Hi, all. I'm wondering if there is anywhere where I can easily get 
more
icons to add to a kind of general store of them for standard 
Revolution
development. For example, there are only a couple of next and 
previous
navigational icons in the standard set, and they ain't that pretty, 
nor are
the metacard icons that are included with RunRev. We could all use a 
couple
of dozen more, I'm sure! So here are my questions:

1. where can I find additional (pretty) icons?
Hmmm, search the web for FREE graphics...

What are the factors that one must consider with icons in general in 
RunRev?
Where can I find a good discussion of this?
No discussion necessary, i think ;-)

Since icons in RR are nothing more than IMAGES!!! displayed in 
BUTTONS!!!
these images have just to be a RR-compatible format:
(Remember: we set the icon of a button to the ID of an image!)

JPEG (no transparency)
GIF (1 Bit transparency possible) or
PNG (8 bit tranparency possible)
2. how consistent are icons across platforms, esp. Mac and Windows? 
Eg,
can I insert an icon in a stack I'm developing on a Mac and will it 
then
show up all pretty under Windows (assuming it begins that way on the 
Mac)?
Yes, see above...
(...although it WILL look better on a mac most of the time ;-)
  Thanks.
Hope that helps...

Have a nice weekend.
