The worst thing with img tag is that the gamma affect them.
What I do is set the “fileIngamma” to 1.0 when I launch the tool, load the images and finally restore the “fileIngamma” to its previous value.
I think miauu’s RTTAssist is a great example of UI design choices.
Buttons with text have simple words that represent straight forward functions.
More complex functions are illustrated with an image. But there is also text, both elements help the user understand what it means. We see this in smartphones nowadays as well. Icon + Text. Both help explain the application better.
Also another interesting topic regarding icons is color coding. Do you guys often use color coding in your icons to associate colors with functions?
I like it.
By the way no hard feelings.
I said it because I hope it will be a “long-awaited” new sticky thread.
there are couple words about a legality of using some icons…
every one has to know that is absolutely illegal to use icons from anyone else tools (commercial or free), there is absolutely illegal to use icons from Windows.
When I said icons that windows use I was referring to the visual language they have established. The fact that we relate “save file” with a floppy disk for example. I don’t think windows can copyright visual language.
There are plenty of icons out there that are free for commercial use that use this visual language in their design.
Custom icons I agree, but Visual Studio has an image library included that is reportedly unrestricted to use. There may be caveats to this but surely it is in microsoft’s interest to get developers to make their software conform to the the windows look and UI ethos?
i have an interesting idea for the game…
i will show some UI solution that look pretty good. but there is something in it that makes it … how to say… unacceptable for my current quality level. you have to find what is wrong.
the most interesting part of this game is the fact that all shown samples will be taken from my old scripts.
do you like this game?
does this solution not look obvious now? that’s exactly a sample why a pro always beats a rookie. but… only a rookie can generate really fresh ideas …
I have never seen any maxscript of you, however I see that you are a great specialist here and all maxscripters here love and appreciate you so much! I would like to see any!
what the f…k? only on this forum you can find at least 5-7 ready to use scripted plugins written by me… and tons of mxs code.

Yes we do
Uh-ohh! It’s that time, boys. Start unzipping, I’ll get the measuring tape.
The thing is that I’m new to this website and still didn’t find at your profile any plugin! I see a lot of you comments and corrections from you in the forum, but put please a link to your page!
Denis, you are a very good specialist, but you need a page with ready made scripts because when I search inside this forum as you said, I get Search Results: Showing results 1 to 30 of 87
And there are a lot of threads with questions and answers! Post your ready plugins and scripts at scriptspot, for example, because here it is very difficult to see finished tools of a talented person like you!
