Here are some suggestions!

As you can see it is not that easy to draw and make the differences
viewable. But let us see some other suggestions as well :-)

Kind regards

Anders

Nah,

Kevin, I really did not like the last ones I send that much.

Instead I used InkScape - super vector program :-) and free of cause -
to create a new icon model!

Attached is my suggestion. Again a speaker - with two levels, so when
you create the buttons you just have to change the transparency levels
to get the user think of the meaning of what happens when they press the
buttons.

So resize lines, transperancy etc. what you would like in InkScape.

>From InkScape go to e.g. The Gimp and shrink the icon in what ever
dimensions that is suitable and save in xpm. I think is the way to go,
cause when it comes to small dimensions I guess The Gimp is better to do
the necessary anti-aliasing so it looks okay.

Hope you like it!

Kind regards

Anders

Anders,

Here is what I did with the vector image..

So what do you think...

Kevin,

It looks great!
We can always consider another way at a later time if needed or if we
get any negative response from the users.

Another idea just came to me, and which I could let my mind go away from
is the following:

There is two buttons placed between (meaning to the left and the right
side) of a dynamic unpressable button - button because I guess it will
look nice with a border surrounding it like the other button.

[-] [ <level> ] [+]

Please see the attached svg image. The image is just made quite fast,
but I hope you will be able to see the idea when you read on.

Meaning it would only be needed to say 6 images when using 5 bars to
indicate the current level of sound.

If space is really narrow one empty bar could be used to indicate the
level of sound - perhaps with colors, but it may look ugly -
however :-) ...

One could consider making a really hacked version of this, cause since
it is raw text image in C our xpm is made up off (after we convert from
svg to xpm) we could increase/alter the values of the image by adjusting
the data at the right indexes :-) and we would not have to make all
those images - only a single one - and then just update the event box!

Meaning first design the empty bar(s) and then fill'em up.

And... then we have something dynamic which I will not have to make a
custom widget for :-)

But I think you should choose between which idea you like the most :-)

I could help you making the code unless you think its straight forward
for you to do right along and have the time.


Now - a good nights sleep would be preferable!

- Anders
