Kevjon, you made nice icons for tree, may be you will make some icons for config? If you have time I'll let you know my idea.

Hi Andrei

I've been away for a few days so thanks for pointing me here from the scene explorer thread or I might of missed it.

I am planning to make new icons for my config but its a really big job that would take a lot of time so I will be working on them bit by bit when I have time between full time work and hobby 3d projects. It would be no problem to share those icons with you for the Samardac config.

I would be happy to hear your ideas and thoughts on it which you can post here or if you prefer we can correspond via email.

I thought to try to add icons for this panel:


My be first create 4-5 icons to see if it will look good.

Hi Andrei

No problems, I'll send them to you when done so you can see if they would work with your interface design.

Give me a couple of days.

Andrei

Here is a preliminary design so you can see how icons might look with your config. The icons themselves need to be refined (to look better) but its a start.

Hi, it looks great! I thought that they will be colored but in grey it looks nice too.

Also I changed a bit color of text and made it a bit darkere check this version, I going to release it soon.

I agree some icons look too large. It is what I meant by some needed to be refined.

I'll tweak them a bit and add them to your 3.3 config. I like the darker fonts so I'll make my icons darker to match.

I think the grey icons suit your interface design better than coloured.
I probably should also produce a black icon version (for the checked button state) to match your black button highlight.

Still working on it but will insert them into the new 3.5 interface.

A discussion here http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?384881-icons-is-the-next-big-thing-for-blender from blender users about doing something similar to blender. Interesting the different responses to icons.

Little bit of an update

Still very much WIP so some icons need to be refined. I am finding it hard to keep all icons grey, so probably will end up doing colored versions of them.

Some buttons like 'sharp' and 'unfreeze all' I haven't had a good idea as yet for an icon, keep thinking about it......

Wow really greate, I think that icons with color like fresh air, and make UI more interesting. So I support you to make them colored.

Andrei, will do.
I'll still try and keep a color theme as much as possible so the interface looks consistent rather than too multicolored.

I'll work further on the colors after I've designed all the icons.
