fractalnoise Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I was wondering if the new beta 433 network status icons are skinnable (ugh, gotta update all my skins if they are...) and if yes, are they in a new bmp? 'cause they don't seem to be part of tstatus.bmp. Any pointers? -TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osm0sis Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 i don't think they are.. and i don't think they should be. would become far too confusing, and be a hassle. green-yellow-red.. pretty straight forward. and changing that would just make things more difficult and confusing for people in general imo.

fractalnoise Posted March 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Phew! Good. I totally agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Agreed. I hope all BitTorrent clients will agree on the green/yellow/red icon scheme one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 @allI'm not color-blind, but what's with people who are?Can they see the difference correctly?Perhaps a green icon (with a dark green "OK"-Hook), a yellow icon (with a "?") and a red icon (with a "!") could make it better?

Socrates Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 When you hold your mouse over the icon it will popup a tooltip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fofoo Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yeah but thats against the intention of icons.They are meant to give you info the fastest possible way. Having to hover over them is worser then to read the text that previously was displayed.Btw the colored icons garble the look of monochromatic themes. I think they should be skinable too.

boo Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Maybe ludde should put the text 'Network:' before the icon, for example:Network: icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gammelkorv Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 or let us skin it ourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 gammelkorv, no thats a bad choice I think, it will just get confusing when helping people in 'Speed Problems' section etc.I actually think what I said above is a great idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fofoo Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Good point didn't think about that.Maybe this feature should be reverted or toggleable(gui.networkstatus_icons). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 The icons are not skinnable and they will not be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 What I meant before when I said that the 'Network:' text should be added before the icon, I meant something like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Why not in this way (I'm no graphicer as you can see)?For text-readers, color-blinds, ...EDIT: Link changed, but same Pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Schnurlos: excellent proposal. Would be nice if it's implemented, if not, no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 damn, this won't be added to µT 1.5 because it was just released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Not a problem, as the tooltip also gives a Network OK (if you've configured everything properly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boo Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 really nice BSH, but are you sure the signs are clear enough?Because it might be a bit hard for color blind people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodStaindHurricane Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I'll fix em if they're actually used in a later version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boo Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 wormwhole, are BSH's icons clear enough for you (I guess you are color blind right?)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Made these real quick just incase they could be used...Thats exactly what I meaned. I think Ludde should have a look on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 btw, I think BSH's icons are to flashy.BSH, can't you use the current icons in µTorrent and just add the signs on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6frcsa Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I know I'm superficial but I'd like to see the network status icon to be skinnable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
