I like the colors better in Cy's post indicators, but I like the shape of Daed's more. Cy's are giving me a ducky foot vibe. Very Happy
I suggest a blend!

::hits Marten for a little while longer::


How about something like this for a New Posts Since Your Last Visit icon?



We could turn the leaves a different color for hot topics. Perhaps a lovely fall red. Smile

That looks SO COOL Jean, holy crow.

Also, do you all remember the leaf constellation from Myst? That would be cool to integrate somehow.

Oh awesome, thanks Cuz! That's exactly the shape I was looking for.

I've tried it out with the colour scheme I did. They should look way less ducky-feety. Smile Previous graphics updated.

EDIT: Oh no more buttons!













I didn't change any of the icons too much because I wanted them to be clear as possible. You know, boring web design navigational clarity.

Here's the blank "icon" button in case you feel like fixing anything!



EDIT AGAIN: I didn't like the way some buttons were looking so I fussed around with them a bit. All the non-messenger glyphs (and the centre of the magnifying glass for the search one) should now be the same light brown colour.

EDIT AGAIN AGAIN: Who's online!



LAST EDIT: Okay I'm done for a bit. I added transparency to the things based on the icon_big graphics. Which is pretty much icon_big, icon_big_new and whosonline. They should work well on any background colour now (so long as it is greyish green).

oops, the new posts popular icon needs to be reddened (in the animation), and there are just a few more icons that need to be made, but otherwise it looks really awesome!

Should we put the gradients back in the headers? We'd need to recolor them first...

The New Post and Popular Topic icons have been updated. Does everyone like these enough to stick with them or should we incorporate Cy's icons instead?

I like them! Very Happy

Hey Daed, The main link color is a bit off from the photoshop picture that you sent, but I couldn't match it any better because I couldn't tell the right color. If you feel like playing with it, go ahead. It seems ok, but I liked your photoshop design, too.

Also, I just set the board to require approval by admins, and this time it should actually work. (Admins will see an email for a user named "argh" - this represents my frustration with debugging this feature. I think I have less hair now...)

I got the e-mail, Brian. Thanks. You're putting a lot of would-be spammers and other annoying "members" out of business.

I just want to say again the site is looking great and is really taking its place in the list of very exciting things happening in conjuction with the relaunch of Live.
