Default skin...

Post by **xnview** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 2:26 pm

The designer of default skin toolbar can not continue to work on it, so it's a problem for new icon/bitmap.

Yuri (mezich toolbar) proposes to use as default toolbar his toolbar?

What do you think?

I've voted "No". I think the current toolbar should be continued by another designer. I'm not a designer, but I think it shouldn't be too hard for any designer to continue the current style.

The current toolbar was introduced in XnView 1.80, it looks nice and I think it's no good to change it again after introducing it so recently.

Yes good points, but I don't think that any designer is willing to continue someone else work... not for free anyway.

Voted yes on mezich since I will use it in any case.

Well, I'm the one who designed the Icons for the upcoming Total Commander 7. I think I could propably help here and design more icons fitting to the actual default style.

Personally, I always use mezich, but I agree that the default skin shouldn't be changed again so shortly after it has been introduced. I like the default skin too, but mezich beats it IMO. Maybe a change of the default skin could be considered for XNView 2

Depending on the amount of Icons to create, I can not promise if I could do this as a spare time project, but I would like to help if I can. Should I contact you by Email, Pierre, to discuss this?

StickyNomad, you're the angel that is around at the right time.

Your offer is much appreciated! Perhaps you and Pierre agree on paying you some money.

Thanks for your appreciation!

It would indeed be great if I could gain a little money from this project. As I do (web-)design and -developing for a living (in a one-man-show), this would help me to keep my bread slices buttered. And the cost shouldn't be too much for a few icons.

Can I find somewhere the list of Icons that should be added to the default skin?

Hi !

• Maybe be an optimal list could be discussed¦defined here,
starting from the minimal one I showed you in that other thread just before ?
- However, I'm very interested in knowing the full currrent list too…
- It's very long and unsorted in the combo-box of the icon-dialogue, and nowhere to be found in the ressources…

Definitly!!!
I love that skin and that would save me a few seconds each time I try a new xnview version and have to change to that skin

Since I've already publicly outed myself as being the #1 Mezich fanboy on the block I had to cast my vote in favor of their skin.

If you search the web you'll find quite a lot of passionate statements regarding their skin. Frankly, I've yet to see any of this for the current one.

I, for one, am convinced this is a unique opportunity that should not be missed by any means.

I have my reasons for not voting but I think Pierre should keep the current default skin as default. I'm a fan of Mezich as well but don't think it would be right to have a skin from someone other than the author as default.

That's sooooooooo wrong! The author (programmer) doesn't have to be a designer! People pay to have decent skins on their software, since XnView is freeware we must be glad to have some great skins to chose from.
