It was per the following conversation: ----------------------------------------------------------- 2012-08-03 #freenet irc.freenode.net [21:47:24] <Gaming4JC> I can still make graphics \o ... [21:48:38] <@operhiem1> Gaming4JC: Do you think you could make a download button that doesn't look sickly? I don't like the "Download" button on the front page. The gradient seems off. ... [21:49:12] <@operhiem1> I do like http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ 's download button, though it might be a bit too dim. [21:49:20] <@operhiem1> There's a UI to help with translations. [21:49:32] <@operhiem1> Though IIRC I thought it required more clicking than I'd like. [21:49:42] <@operhiem1> Let me know and I can patch it. ... [21:50:03] <Gaming4JC> sure let me check :) ... [21:52:26] <Gaming4JC> hmm... The download box on VLCs button is kinda nice. [21:52:55] <Gaming4JC> looks a little cutty pastie on the bottom though ... [22:01:39] <Gaming4JC> operhiem1: You want it in SVG for scalabilty? [22:01:50] <Gaming4JC> the download button that is. ... [22:06:18] <@operhiem1> Gaming4JC: Sure! [22:06:18] <@operhiem1> I think PNGs might render faster though. [22:06:18] <@operhiem1> It'd good to have lossless source material. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I think it adds more brand to the page, you can see the two attached photos. One of the propsed button and one of VLC website. However, I do like the height of the old button and the fact that it changes color on mouseover. This is of course reproducible with the new button as well.
I've also the SVG file if anyone would like to use it. I chose GNU Free Documentation License for it since the main website also uses this license. :) --- On Sun, 8/5/12, Ian Clarke <ian at locut.us> wrote: From: Ian Clarke <i...@locut.us> Subject: Re: [freenet-dev] Download button for new site To: "Discussion of development issues" <devl at freenetproject.org> Date: Sunday, August 5, 2012, 12:23 PM I appreciate the effort, however I don't think these are an improvement over the current download buttons on the current site. Was there something wrong with the current buttons that prompted you to try to replace them? Ian.

I had originally thought of a rabbit hole with an arrow pointing down it, but opted for the traditional box for the sake of international awareness that a box with an arrow usually means download. Although if you think I should do that or modify these images in some way just let me know. Here's two test images I am proposing - http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/7980/path4551.png <-- Colorful Box (used for NewYears?) http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6945/path4552.png <-- Regular Box As all files are in SVG they are nice and scalable and with multiple layers.
