Hi Adam,

Thanks for your comments!

The different variations of Edit/EditText are merely to accommodate minor 
differences in PhpWiki 1.2 and 1.3.

1.2.2 has EditText, Info, Diff, FindPage, GoodStyle, EditLinks, EditCopy 
(edit previous archived version of a page)
1.3 has Edit, History, Diff, DebugInfo, FindPage, LikePages, SignIn.

The extra buttons at the bottom (Edittext with @ sign etc) weren't 
supposed to be in the picture. I removed them and updated the picture, 
also added a few from Moinmoin for you.

Hi Russ,

The buttons were made using Apple's ProjectBuilder and InterfaceBuilder 
(shameless plug: two Apple OS X tools that work with gcc/gdb for compiling 
applications). Then I took a screen snapshot, chopped it into individual 
PNG files and massage them further.

Some of the buttons are already finished and posted on my web site. I'm 
putting up some more tonight. I'll also include a couple blank buttons so 
anyone who wants to can add in their own icons.

I'm excited about a little php script I found that uses GD and FreeType to 
create images on-the-fly. While I don't think it would be very efficient 
for PhpWiki to use it to render all images on the fly, this will be very 
helpful to create many localized translations of any buttons which contain 
text.

example abut halfway down the page.

confused one)

but rendering them once, during setup, after language selection? money.

Ahhha! Excellent idea. I'm going to try writing a caching dynamic image 
generator as a WikiPlugin.

On a related note: I, for one, would be happy to see a new (or
alternative) PhpWiki logo.  A more logoistic one.  (Maybe incorporating,
or mangling, the PHP logo?)  Alas, I am no artist, so someone else had
better do it.

hahahhaha! I made that in five minutes in xpaint. Somehow I've grown fond
of it. I could never figure out how to make a transparent background in
the Gimp though.

Mangling the PHP logo.. well.. I've never brought this up, but the proper
spelling/punctuation of PhpWiki is 'PhpWiki' and not 'PHPWiki', so the PHP
logo would be an inappropriate fit.

Not that I'm going to raise armies and go to war over people writing
'PHPWiki.' It's more like pronouncing someone's name correctly.
