Hi Plucker Team, An initial revision of colored icons is available. Icons are in the CVS in the auto_scroll branch, for your fixes. The different icon sets can be displayed by selecting the 'Screen Depth' in the Preferences. A compiled prc is also available for inspection at: http://www.rob.md/projects/plucker/2001_08_09/viewer_en.prc Some notes: -Greyscale is difficult since needs to look good on both a white background, and a dark green. -Will probaly drop the 4bpp icons, since not much different than 2bpp, for the extra space. -8bpp application icon has a blue circle spliced into the background, to fit in with the interface of PalmOS as a whole. This part was pretty quickly done (it's now 5am local...), will put a little more pixel polish on that one to fix the antialiasing over blue instead of the original white. -1bpp only, for the large bitmaps, like the tap action bitmaps, etc, since too big in colour. Although the chicken does look nice in living colour, would likely be too much for an about screen at this . -Color of dropdown list of position might be nice to fit in with rest of toolbar. This is set programmatically though, not an .rcp setting. -Color icons are made to fade into background, and not loud items to draw attention away from the text/images. Blue chosen, vs red/orange/etc. since a) web-safe palette largest fraction is blues, making shading results better b) the colour of the new colour PalmOS devices as a whole seems to be blue c) less-distracting, slick (probably why PalmOS took it). ToDo: -Add 8bpp toolbar icons transparent index/colour since OS may change background to a non-white color. -Shave size down by: ---Remove 4bpp icons (left them in, so others could take a look first) from bitmapfamilies, since sucking up space, and not significantly different from 2bpp. ---Remap 2bpp icons down to a 2bpp palette instead of a 4bpp. Surprisingly none of the graphics programs in my usual toolbox do this, all jump from 1bpp to 4bpp in the save/convert options. :-( Anyone recommend a utility? -Modify line of code in makefile for .rcp to choose either the bitmap families or b&w only during a compile. Michael may have a suggestion on the best course to take for that. -An 8bpp color small icon, maybe. Best wishes, Robert
