moc426 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Awesome, I really like the new layer functionality, great job with that. Install did take a long time for some reason and bogged down my core 2 duo 6600. Strange, the installs never did that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 Their price is about $120 USD per new icon, and I'd need at least 100 custom made icons in addition to culling from their stock collections. Let's say $15,000 to replace all the icons in Paint.NET with shiny fresh Vista-styled ones. Not worth it right now.

Rick Brewster Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 Yes but are they willing to make 200 high resolution and high quality icons with a deliberately consistent artistic style? It's not exactly easy stuff, that's why they charge for the good stuff.

Myrddin Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Actually, this is something I've always wanted to know, and I'm not pushing anything on you Rick, but the icons in use now are XP ones with a few I've seen in Office 2003, how did you get them without infringing on any copyrights? Am I missing something simple or is it from the days when the project was Microsoft endorsed? However you got them or can use them, can't the same be applied for Vista-like icons? Again, not pushing, just curious. How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedHONDA Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Hey, give me a year and I'll have all the icons you'll ever need... No, seriously. I'd love to create some icons for Paint.NET, but as you said, it's hard to maintain a consistent style. EDIT@Ash: I would say that the deadline would be the PDN 4.0 release date.

Rick Brewster Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 Microsoft released a bunch of icons for royalty-free use with Visual Studio 2005. I also got some from famfamfam.com. The Paint.NET icon itself, though, I made myself. If I were to multiply the time spent on it by 100-200 more icons, I'd be dead by the time i was done.

Ash Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 @Ash: I would say that the deadline would be the PDN 4.0 release date. And when might that be?? Then people can see if possible, to do 200 or so in time.. All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 And actually, I guess you have to multiply that number by 2 because each icon would need a high-resolution (256x256) and a low-resolution (16x16) version. Sizes in between could mostly be scaled down from the 256x256 version. Because, see, if I were redoing all the icons I would want to have them all in high-resolution versions so that the UI could scale up and look really good at high-DPI.

That would not be good for the program nor the community. Thanks for the response; my curiosity is now fed.

Fisherman's Friend Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 oh ok.something else that is... interesting. 1. Open Firefox 2. Open Task Manager and kill the firefox.exe process 3. Open paint.net and launch one of the help menu internet shortcuts. (...) Ghost Ranger, I have had a similar problem and got the second error every time I launched an internet shortcut. I have the following fix for all users with the same problem, please see here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_error ... _-_Firefox This workaraound is for Firefox, I don't know if it works for IE/Opera. However, it is not an error of PDN. Also I want to say that I like the actual PDN icons. They are already clean and I see no sense in changing icons every time the operating system style changes, as I see no sense in changig the UI every time office gets new interfaces.

As it is a Windows/Firefix error, I have no idea why Rick should spent time on the problem. The workaround can be found using Google and isn't that hard to do. What I would like to see is that the help could be downloaded seperatly. It wouldn't be too much work to zip the online help and provide a downoad on the homepage.

TommyCarlier Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 The current icons are very recognizable. But if you really want to refresh them for free without creating them yourself, you could check out the FamFamFam Silk Icons: http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/ It's a pretty large collection.

Myrddin Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 They're the ones Rick uses for many of the custom icons, such a Unfocus and a fair amount of the other default effects and adjustments. Compare the ones in use now to the preview on famfamfam.com. See? How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
