Ajack's Menu Bar/icon Collection


Thorax said:
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

That was it. I had it on sharp.

I'll fix them now.

Yeah, it still look blured.

How I make icons (I use Gimp, if it's important):
1. Put the banner with transparency on a layer.
2. Make a Black to Transparent (uh, english word for Farbverlauf: color-flow???) from left to right behind the banner.
3. Search for a good image and adjust it under these layers.
(I think you already did this ;) )
4. use these fonts for the text: small font and big font
The big font I made with size 9 and the small font with size 8. Both without hinting or AA.
5. select all letters (select by color) of the big one and enlarge the selection for 1px. Now fill this outline with black (look for the gaps e.g in A or O). Same for the small one.
6. fill it with color.
7. make the shadows for both with 1px down-left and 30% opacity.

It looks like your prog hint the fonts and/or your text is not perfect size.

EDIT:
Ups... :blink:
Solved while I was posting

EDIT 2:
Wait with the new archive. I'm still making two icons.
 
I just noticed that some of the blue bars are inverted, look at gpfce. I don't use them personally, but just letting you guys know if you wanted to fix them or leave it.
 
Okay, here are the fixed bars: http://localhostr.com/file/OKlHAdD/FixedBars.zip

Someone please make blue versions, I will be fixing the blurred icons in the meantime.

Edit: This one too, forgot to add it in:

Okay,
I'll make blue/green icons of your fixed ones. Your third Ginge bar and Deadly eye are also missing.

Don't get what you mean with the inverted blue bars. Do you mean only the blue part? And affects it also the green ones?

On the blue gpfce bar, the controllers buttons are green.

And I didn't like that third ginge bar.

I also forgot deadly eye:

Then look to the animatch and termula2x bar. There are also affected. Because of this I did nothing other rhan fixing all the blue icons and made new green ones yesterday. ;) Look some posts ago.

If you don't like the third bar I'll remove it, but please update the bar of deadly eye. You forgot it.

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 files to 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.co...Pack%20v1.3.zip

Includes now all fixed icons by ColdRush in all three colors. Furthermore I added icons for FCalc and TV-out.

Alright, I think I fixed all of my icons.

Everything is in here:
http://localhostr.com/file/HqFniWV/Caanoo%20-%20Skins%20and%20Bars%20v1.35.zip

Lets call it a day guys :D
 
Great wall papers and the bar looks good, but it doesn't match so I don't plan to add it to the archive.

Here's 1.4 with the new wallpapers:

Thanks Coldrush. and i wish you make icon for MSX, Neogeo, PocketSNES

They're already in there. NeoGeo emu is named GnGeo and DrPocketSnes is the same. I think AJack made an icon for MSX but don't know whether it's included or not.

Yeah, they look very good, especially because they're in different colors. :)

Awesome, but are these made by you Mospaedax?

Because I want to make sure I'm crediting the original creator.
