Can you consider doing http://www.tt-forums.net/styles/ott/ima ... proved.gif plus http://www.tt-forums.net/styles/ott/ima ... ported.gif to cheer up Moderator only Icons. Are the buttons on forms suppossed to be snowy as well (Submit and the likes) :?:

No, those buttons can stay as they are - they're not images anyway. :)

I'm not sure it's worth doing all the images you see in posting.php , such as "Preview", "Submit", "Save draft", "Cancel", "Add the file". Those don't look like images.

The ones roboboy linked were images. Now they're snowy.

Too bad I won't be able to enjoy them. I'll be expecting a fanmail by a group of cheery moderators though.

Aha to the buttons in the forms but thank you for the two that I linked to.

Seems we overlooked one.

Though an ordinary user doesn't see it a lot, I bet the mods do.

I'm considering to give the icons in viewforum.php a good snow-treatment too. I don't really have a good overview of all the buttons available there though, and perhaps the screen would get too crowded if I add snow there too. Additionally some icons are animated, and I lack the skills and tools to make those.

Opinions?

We maybe don't want to overdo it too much - stick to buttons, perhaps. I'll try to get them all done tonight.

If you're doing the mod buttons, could you do these too? :)

Purno did the report button and posted it on the previous page.

The board is theme able, which suggests someone could design a theme and upload it somewhere, and a board administrator can then download such a theme and drop it somewhere at the server.

If that is really the case, it's likely such themes contain all sprites of the board.

And the rankbars and emoticons please. I don't think that'd count as overdoing. They're only small elements anyways. The icy background tiles count way more pixels :P

AFAIK I've done all blue bottons on viewtopic.php now.

Shame I won't be able to admire those special mod-only buttons. Post a screenshot please!

I've split up the emoticons in seperate files, with transparency. See attachment.

The only thing I can't do is make an animated GIF.
I've made the frames for the bowdown emoticon, both with the same size. I hope someone else can turn those 2 frames into an animated GIF.

You make one little comment about a button not being updated and Purno goes on a spree of procrastinating on important RL stuff! :mrgreen:

Not really, I just glanced through http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/anim_basics/ and did a little copy/paste/adapt trial and error until it looked sort of ok :)
