Any particular reason, or is it personal taste? I'm trying to keep it just a little whimsical, but if you think it's confusing I'll take it out...

I updated the button icons to make them more uniform looking, to address Fabien's concern about the look. I added a background that changes brightness in on or off state, but it isn't clear enough yet I think. Must add a glow of some sort. What do you think? Too pink ; ) ?

It really makes the button bar more readable. If you improve the status/glow, it will be perfect :) On 2/24/08, Matthew Gates <mat...@gm...> wrote: > > > On Sunday 24 February 2008, Johan Meuris wrote: > > > > I prefer not to have the star as the dot on the "?" icon. > > > Me neither, in principle I like the idea of having stars on each icon but at the end it looks a bit more cluttered.. > > Any particular reason, or is it personal taste?

I added a background to the window buttons. I like this a lót more. It's easier to read now. I need to make it more transparent, as it's too bright. Still need to change the star on the question mark, the active/inactive state of the window buttons and the glows.

But the text (especially the text upper left of screen that identifies the point of interest) is both too drab and too small. I liked it better in 0.9.x, bitgger, orangeish and more readable. The icons interfere somewhat because when I navigate the mouse over them, to "raise" or to "lower" them, for instance, my display also gets moved around, which means extra movements to get back to my original view - with the horizon close to the bottom of the screen. I like the highlighting on the icons as they are now. > Fabien > |

The current text selected object information was only added to help with debugging for the QString changes and will be re-done before release. In 0.9.x the colour of the text was dependent on the colour information for the selected star. Matthew |

Yeah, you're right. I've been away from it for some time due to being very busy at work, and I agree completely. I will try to make them simpler. Also, I'm extremely happy to see that the subpixel smoothing is gone! Makes the icons looks much more crisp.

I was thinking the buttons would look better without the gray rectangles behind them. A radial gradient instead might look better but still distinguish the buttons. Also, there is no planet button. Or a stop time button. The latter might be useful when zoomed in and the nebula keeps moving off screen because the user does not know about tracking... :) Just my 2 cents.

I've worked on the buttons last night, and I'll present them tonight or tomorrow night. I'm not quite happy with the current landscape button for instance, it's too busy.

Good! I think the new window buttons are good but I would prefer them a bit brighter and smaller though.

Hey all, I committed new buttons last night, where I grouped similar functions so the button bar doesn't look too crowded. It makes everything a bit simpler. Rob: if we add a planet button, the nebula button isn't all alone in this setup. To do: - new button bar glow - brighten and resize window buttons Johan On 3/11/08, Fabien Chéreau <fab...@go...> wrote: > > Good! > I think the new window buttons are good but I would prefer them a bit > brighter and smaller though. > Fabien > > On Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 9:09 AM, Johan Meuris <joh...@gm...> > wrote: > > > I've worked on the buttons last night, and I'll present them tonight or > > tomorrow night.

Hi! It's much cleaner already :) On my work computer it looks nice, but on my home computer which is a bit darker, it's hard to see what the untoggled buttons contain. Maybe the background could be a bit more transparent to enhance the symbols.. Also I think the halo for the bottom bar is a bit annoying because when the mouse is over a button it's hard to see whether it is toggled or not (again this occurs more on my home laptop). Rob what would the planet button do? Last point, with the new DSS feature, we should probably add a new button to toggle it. It shouldn't be called DSS though, it's too technical. We should find a name which reminds of the ideas of background images/automatic download/high resolution.

I tried to fix this in the latest version I committed, because it's important for laptops working on battery power that are taken outside to do some stargazing.
