[toolbar] Airy

This is my first attempt of making a skin, just some glossy buttons plus some photoshop shapes.
Hope you like it! smile

I think the 'Create new torrrent' button would look better with a star instead of a heart. Otherwise, really nice. smile

Re: [toolbar] Airy

nice, kinda webui-ish look, i like it a lot

like Ghost21 & dAbReAkA said a star for "make torrent" would be more appropriate

hoping u'll make a complete set smile

Thanks for your comments! wink
I changed the heart icon to star, it really does make more sense. Also, the up and down arrow seemed too big in comparison to other symbols so I changed that too.

Re: [toolbar] Airy

the main icon looks a bit edgy used as a tray one.. u may have to make a smaller version of it..

That's because you should use and icon with only 16x16 size for tray icon. Try this one

Re: [toolbar] Airy

Blu11, you must have created the icon incorrectly because 16x16 should automatically be used.

Re: [toolbar] Airy

Weird, I tried resorting the image formats inside the icon - same thing. But I think that the main.ico and tray.ico files only utilize the 16x16 format anyway, and I use the small icon too.
If anyone has a clue how to fix the icon to display correctly, please tell! smile

Re: [toolbar] Airy

well, if you post all the different sizes of this icon, I can make a icon that works correctly.

Thanks, boo!
So, the image formats should be sorted from 16x16 up. Didn't know that! And the icon editor I use was automatically sorting them in the wrong way.  hmm
Thanks again.. big_smile

Re: [toolbar] Airy

Nice icons, but can I make a suggestion or two?  The status icons for uploading and downloading with the tracker down should be red not green.  Just a bit confusing for me is all.

Also, why ticks instead of up arrows for uploading? Ticks would be better for Finished.

And maybe use a lighter shade for the Queued ones?

Other than that, great icons, I've got a bit of a Hal theme on my comp, these go well with it.  Thanks

Re: [toolbar] Airy

how can I use your tray icon for the icon next to the clock? it changed in the taskbar and at the top of the app but not next to the clock?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [toolbar] Airy

import_fighter, from the FAQ:

Put tray.ico (for the tray) and main.ico (for the GUI) in C:\Documents and Settings\YOURNAME\Application Data\uTorrent, or in the same directory as utorrent.exe if you have the settings in the same directory. You must restart µTorrent for this to take effect.

Demon-boy, thanks for your comments! wink
After one of my hard disks died, my icons are all over and haven't had much time to play around.
But I will fix it as soon as I find time.
TY smile
