Synfig Project Forum

nevermind about maks... obviously I can achieve the expected result with "blend mode onto"... somedays I just wake up the wrong way
my question remains: would it be ok to provide for SVG icons... much more reusable (~standardized) than .sif ones.

Synfig export to svg would be great, by the way, but not on top of my which list!

Below a few proposals for filters layers. I'm not happy with all of them so feel free to improve. I'd use this "color correct" as the icon for the "filters" context menu entry.

PS: edited to add corrected clamp filter icon with thinner contrast bar for enhanced readibility at 16x16px.

And proposals for the remaining distortions. I had to change the reference pictogram for "wrap" into a rectangle... for the oval didn't highlight the effect enough to me... pick whichever you like most... and I'd probably use "stretch" for the context menu entry of "distorsions", but that's a matter of taste

Wow berteh! All they do look quite good!

We ask for sif(z) files for two main reasons:
1) They are used at build time to render the different png images used in the application. Synfig should render them at run time so people should only need to provide sifz files, but at the moment it is that way.
2) Providing sif(z) files you are absolutely sure that your oiriginal artwork is not modified by any third person so there is not need to add any correction.

You can provide svg files too to include them in the wiki for future references. I defeat you to create a svg icon (not a complex art work) that I cannot emulate in Synfig.
... And how do you do the noise distortion, the spherize or the inside-out icons in SVG?

Thanks. I guess they are alright on blue-/grey-ish background, but useless on black or white background, so if you plan to change the overall synfig interface to go for white I need to know it soon

Here some proposals for the examples layers. (again: worthless on white bg). feel free to change the color to whatever you like.
B.

and proposals for the remaining missing layers. I add another one for solid color as well, even if some have already been proposed.
B.

a few more proposals: save all, timetrack, increase & decrease amount.

Hey! the icons are great! Thank you very much!

For rectangle and circle, can we not reuse the icons used in the tool dialog?
Just a thought...

Chris

Sure you can, in that case rather use one of these updated icon for metaballs, to match the style of the tools icons.
I rather like the "simpler" uni-color ones icons from former post because they match what you get from using the tool... but if you want shades there you go
B.

and a new set for data types... again, any suggestion/improvement/idea for that one is welcome... as for the others!

I guess with this set the list of genete is complete, provided you reuse some of the tango set.
Do you need me to make .sif out of a selection of tango svg icons or can you (preferably!) directly use the svg/png provided in tango library?
The list being complete should not prevent anyone from submitting more icons propositions, of course!

B.

At the very end, all the icons have to be in sif format so they have to be converted. You can rest a bit and leave some others to trace or just import the svg tango icons



Err... cursor icons? for what? I think that the tools are the only ones that needs cursor icons. Where should those new ones used? (excuse me but I dont' get its utility)

I meant these icons to be used for data types (i.e. in the panel "params"). The cursor in the icons provides only for a homogeneous style: I tried an encompassing box (smthg like an editable field) but that was not readable in 16x16... and nothing but the content seems a bit tasteless in black & white.

These files are named "cursor" to be distinct from my former datatypes icons that used the mathematical Set symbols.
