[Flags+Tabs+Status+Toolbar+Icon] PFlagstic

It all started that i wanted to make new flags.
Then the tab icons kind of sucked, too. :)
Status icons could be more pleasing.
Toolbar should match the rest.
... finally the icon had to be changed

Behold the result!

PFlagstic = Flags + Plastic (kind of looks like plastic)

Only thing i couldn't skin is the network icon (not shown)... :D
(Original screenshot missed the prefs icon. I just photoshoped it into the picture.)

Whole package:

(entries in the skin browser coming up... Done)

You could use only parts of it if you like, of course.

Some comments on the flags:
The flags are a work of progress. I won't make all flags immediately, but only the ones that i see in utorrent. Call it my quirk.
I ought to have almost all flags of all western and bigger countries, but it all depends on the torrents you chose. Missing flags look like an almost black flag with a red line over it. If you have a torrent where many unknown show up feel free to send me that torrent. If you find single missing flags, send me the peer name.

The flags.conf maps non-US net/com/org-domains to the correct country flag. You need it if you want to use the new flags. You could also grab the conf from this thread http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=2070. It has more entries and doesn't map to the US flag. I do it to find new domains that has to be mapped.

The flags are free to be used with utorrent, but for everything else, contact me first.

Have fun.

I updated the files in the skin browser and the paket.zip.

I just made one file, because i wanted to see what's the problem. I replaced all alpha channel transparency with the #FF00FF transparency. I wasn't really using alpha channels anyway.

I like the flag

Just right-click the peer and copy&paste it as text. Much easier.
I added both to the flags.conf. The flag wasn't missing, both are US, but i forgot to disable my fancy default flag for detecting unknown domains.
paket.zip was updated.

Re: [Flags+Tabs+Status+Toolbar+Icon] PFlagstic

Just a question about the flag.

If I use the utorrent default flag system (peer.resolve_country is on and without flag.bmp and flag.conf), almost every peer will the flag displayed even the ip cannot be resolved.

But when I use the mugros's flag or eng's flag with peer.resolve_country off, no flag is displayed if ip cannot be resolved and sometime even ip can be resolved.

Is it normal ? Do you have a way to fix it ?

Thanks

PS. once again, mugros, I really like your flag. Good work.

Thanks

dAbReAkA:
i wanted to wait for his permission first, but then i got bored and started my own. And after that i couldn't stop
Another thing is that his approach is different. He only remaps com/net-domains that somebody recognize of not being US. I don't use the US flag for the 00 flag, look above. And so i see every com/net domain that hasn't been mapped. And i remap also US domains to the US flag.
There are also some mappings i would do different, but maybe we join the work someday.

laimanl:
i read in another thread that peer.resolve_country doesn't work with custom flag.bmps.
