Title: Blue Button Sets - how do you like them?
Post by: andrea on October 14, 2003, 08:20:26 AM

(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=23812.0;id=3692;image)
Link to the Iblues Theme which uses the iblues button set (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=23812.0)

These are 2 new button sets, please feedback:

If you like the button sets I will post them.

Edit: iblues set is uploaded (attached to this post)

Edit2: Link to the Iblues theme added. The iblues button set is used in the IBlues Theme which you can find here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=23812.0).

I like them, perhaps the bottom "darker" blue ones I perfer, but they're good :)

I like the top ones alot.  Maybe a very subtle light grey stroke on the text tho?  Something that doesn't stand out but still makes the text pop just a little bit?  You do excellent work!

The second buttonset looks really good for me. I like the good contrast for the fonts

Glad you like them. Indeed I tried softer colors and do like subtle contrasts myself. Since the buttons are very small the contrast to the background might get less clear.

Indeed the contrast in the 2nd set is sharper. The style of the two sets is very different.

Post by: charlottezweb on October 14, 2003, 05:39:41 PM
I prefer the first one much more than the second but they are both nice...my only complaint  with the first is the font choice...I don't like the way the "t" looks in that lettering.  It could be hard to read if I didn't know what they said already.

Nice work
Jason

Thanks for your feedback Jason. Arent the words used on the buttons well known simple words, at least if the language is the right one, so people will be able read these?

Owdy just sent you an email re. the finnish translation. Indeed my buttons are created with my button buddy, this is a button set generator/translator which I programmed. So no manual translation work is needed any longer, only the language text strings are needed. The button buddy will then auto create finnish buttons... Already entered are the texts on the finnish yse buttons and from the buttons in your smf language pack. It would be great if you could please cross check my entries and translate the extra buttons.

Definitely, i was just being picky ;)  I think most users would be able to read it pretty easily especially if they're familiar with the functionality of a forum, but someone running a high resolution who isn't familiar might have a problem...again, I was just being picky and it's only the letter "t" that I don't like in that font.

Not bad. The light blue ones are nice, but I think it would be great if they were a bit more transparent.

Here I disagree. These are no glass buttons hence need not to be transparent.

andrea, you posted that the ssbluems would be also available in german language, is
that right? can you post them?

they have a good contrast and seem to be read more easy than the light blue ones.

I have replaced them by a very similar style which is available in all colors and many languages - german included. An example button set (still in winterblue and snow - should maybe replace them before easter  ;) ) can currently be viewed in action in my parenting community.

Andrea, would it be possible to get an iBlues button that says "Next Uniform"?
This is what I'm using now and it looks bad because its not in the right font (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.edtl.us%2Faacs%2FThemes%2Fraymond20040509%2Fimages%2Fenglish%2Fnewsbox.gif&hash=37fdc1659dc4e08e8d154458e11cea6fc4e77087)

BTW I don't need the : in it.

Andrea, could you please do a Button Set in Dutch? I would enjoy the version with the white letters.

Sorry if I sound too opstrusive, that is not my intention. Fact is, Vincent posted the same question in February, and I would like to use them too, because I really like the set!

Thanks in advance,
Aaron.

Andrea, I love this button set.  I use it in conjuction with the Loon Theme on my site.  I've noticed that since I have upgraded to 1.1 Beta 3, that there are some buttons missing from the package.  The one's I've noticed are in the private/instant message section.  Could you release these addon buttons for 1.1 Beta 3?

Thanks in advance.
