New toolbar graphics for level editor

Postby odamite » 20 Jan 2012, 20:22

Hello everyone!

I thought that toolbar in level editor needed some refreshing. Here's my attempt to do so. I'm not 100% happy with the result but what do you think?

Some people are like slinkies... not really good for anything, but you still can't help smiling when you shove them down the stairs.

It definitely looks better than the current one, although some things still look a bit weird.
I'm not quite sure what they are, but here a few nitpicks:
    * The plus sign on the block isn't symmetrical.
    * Somehow the lighting on the cursor looks strange.

Beside that it's great, thanks for your contribution. :)

A white background would provide a better contrast.

Looks nice, but I think Edward_Lii and MCMic are both right.
I've made the plus sign symmetrical and increased the contrast. Here's the result:

If we need more contrast we can use a lighter background:

It looks better, not sure which background should be used. :think:

@MCMic, Tedium, Edward Lii
I think we should go with brighter background.

@Tedium
I'm amazed! That shading looks just brilliant! I've to say that you're much better artist than I am! The final graphics are awesome and I'm glad that I've been in part of making them! After all this is an open source project which is all about collaboration. :D

@Edward_Lii
The plus sign wasn't symmetrical because I was trying to imitate the font used in the game. I must admit that it wasn't great idea.

The brighter version is in svn revision 205.
@odamite, Tedium thanks for making it. :)

I see it now, but my first thought was that it wasn't symmetrical.
