I was hoping for a colored icon in 24x24 like "Spotlight", "Multipage" etc..So that I could optionally place the icon-snapshot on/off tool on the toolbar. :) I don't know though, am I wrong?

I don't see reason why it should be colored - this icon for turn on/off specific view mode like checkbox.budz45 wrote:I meant like "spotlight" and "multipage" and others you have recently designed I thought that icon-snapshot was going to be 24x24 toolbar icon too (as I originally hoped).
Right, ok if you must insist on the non-color...then ok ...will there be a 24x24 of this same icon?mezich wrote: I don't see reason why it should be colored - this icon for turn on/off specific view mode like checkbox.
I'm not sure that is final verstion. And may be you are right with colored version. Whould be nice to see more comments.budz45 wrote:Right, ok if you must insist on the non-color...then ok :)

Hmm, for grouping several toolbar buttons seperators can be used by default and by the user. And there are specific symbols on them (e.g. image, arrows) which make clear that the toolbar buttons belong to a specific functional area (e.g. rotating, ...). Using colour (or monochromacity in this case) for grouping buttons is a bit unusual, I think. Currently, the above blueish buttons (thumbs, tree, preview, info, and new tab) stand a bit out and look more like belonging to a different theme than the Mezich theme.JohnFredC wrote:I think it makes sense for groups of buttons related to the same functions to share a common theme... in this case the monochromicity (is that word?) seems particularly appropriate. It makes them stand out very clearly from the rest of the buttons.

I totally agree Helmut, I too don't much like this dark-blue-ish color scheme for the 'view mode' icons and feel it does not fit in with the (excellent) overall Mezich toolbar theme... It's partly the reason why I support a colored "Icon Snapshot" icon.helmut wrote: Currently, the above blueish buttons (thumbs, tree, preview, info, and new tab) stand a bit out and look more like belonging to a different theme than the Mezich theme.
