Ajack's Menu Bar/icon Collection

[tryone]

Fixed Railroad Rampage (Orange and blue):

I can't see any 'R'. (and 'Train' is written with 'T' at the beginning not a 'D')

And now the Skin with blue (matching the new blue icons):

Blue looks so cool, it deserved a place in the archive.

And the new orange (for all other than Thorax ), because only one color looks much better on the caanoo.

Added all of the above, it's now going to be called the Caanoo Skin Pack:

Looks nice

BUT, the .zip ending is missing. <_<

How to install the skins.
1. Install Skin Maker (and the icons for it ;) ).
2. Copy the files into the 'image' folder inside the Skin Maker directory.
3. Launch Skin Maker and select the Skin you like. Enjoy.

Maybe you could include the blue ones as well, e.g. in a subfolder -> blue, orange?

Nice, but the icons haven't changed, so they're needed only once.
Maybe sort the icons so:

Icons
- Name of Game
  - icon.png
  - orange
    - title.png
  - blue
    - title.png
  - green
    - title.png

And this is for all of us who like green:

And this are the samples for the bars:

Orange (by AJack)

Blue (bx Thorax)

Green (by lenrlad)
Now we could reach every personal taste.
Maybe I'll convert all of the existing icons to the new colors, this day.

EDIT:
The missing Noiz2sa title in blue:

[Thorax]

if u use ps u could just make an action so u dont have to change everything by hand

 

[tryone]

I use Gimp but I don't know how to make a filter-script which does this automatically. :angry:

EDIT:
The caanoo and links rocks, but a 'real' browser like opera or so would be more cooler.

 

[ColdRush]

Added the bar and the new skin. I also added a templates folder.

I think it's easier if both sets of icons are kept. Nobody is going to be hurt over an extra second to download it, the archive is only 4mb to begin with. It's faster to just copy both when someone goes to add the icons instead of having to go through two folders.

Thanks to all involed... you rock - my Caanoo looks the bizz, how do we have white txt for some of the backgrounds ie. black on black dont go,
Also is there a reason that the caanoo skin maker title bar says "games" or is it just an example, be better if it said skins?

Thanks again ruffnutts

Hi ruffnutts,
Nice Skin you made.
Yeah it would be better, but the Caanoo menu desn't have 'Skins' and I put this image together with the preview icons of the Skin Maker (it's not the real caanoo menu).

I've tidied the archive a bit. Changes I made:
1. Added all icons with the green banner.
2. Fixed all the blue icons wich are also blue in the main image (e.g termula2x or animatch).
3. Renamed all filesto be consystency (and user friendly).
4. Added an icon for the Flashplayer app.
5. Added icons for the not yet released Ports of Descent and Descent ][
6. Added the 'not yet released info to the Readme and removed the old.

And here it is: http://localhostr.com/file/3ZCXg68/Caanoo%20Skin%20Pack%20v1.3%20-%20beta.zip (beta only because there are still some unfixed titles)

small advice @ColdRush
Nice icons you made BUT they look odd because the text you write is blured. It looks like you hinted it or something else. On the 'sharp' caanoo screen it looks like 'unsharp' mud . PLEASE try to get per-pixel font, it'll look much better . I already fixed the icons (only made the text black and wrote it new), but I couldn't fix your titlebars. Please fix them, overwrite the existing, and reupload the new 'Skin Pack'. I don't mean any harm. :rolleyes:
This affect the following titlebars:
- Battle Jewels
- Deadly eye
- DrPocketSnes
- FC2X
- Ginge
- GPFCE
- GPH Quake
- SQRXZ 2 (not mine )
- STPPC
- Worship Vector

Nice Skin you made.

is that sarcasm :unsure:

Not sure if you understood what I was saying about the skin maker title bar in the pack, I never said anything about caanoo menu :huh:

this is all fantastic work - I must say

 

[tryone]

No it isn't. Your skin is really nice.

I understood you asked whether it was better if the Skin Maker title says SKIN instead of GAMES (blue text there), right? :unsure:
And I answered that the caanoo didn't have a SKIN menu (like GAMES, APPS, ...) so it's only an example of caanoo's menu which you can customise with this app. Maybe I'll make another with one of our custom Skins to make it clear. And then I described how I made the icon (put it together with the Skin Maker icons, so it's not the real menu which you are seeing).

thanks

If someone could link me to the correct font, I'll remake them. I downloaded the one that Ajack said he used, but apparently it's not the correct version. What size font are you using? It's blurry no matter what I do to it.

How does this one look? I think I need glasses, I can't really tell. I had a gradient on it before:

The D in defense looks blurry to me.

 

[Thorax]

what program are u using?
if u use photoshop u gotta set the setting right next to the font size (the "aa") to none/nothing/without (can't say exactly as i'm using the german version).
found it:

there are different anti-ailising type options in photoshop:

None
sharp
crisp
strong
smooth
