Your input will decide the fate of these icons. :)

Hail Titsus,

Lies! All Lies! They are not just buttons, they are our friends! Please refrain from further slandering their name, lest you suffer the wrath of the Lounge: we like our friends, the buttons, and will stop at nothing to protect them!

*ahem*

By the way, Bolty, it looks a little silly still having the old Edit button with the newer buttons ;) If the new ones stay, please do replace the Edit one too!

Also, the ICQ and Yahoo IM buttons need to be updated. :D
And, in response to Titsus, cease your blashpemous prattle you heathenous heretic! :rolleyes:

~All hail the great buttons!

Fuzzy indeed. :huh:

Black plain text with a drop shadow at about 3 pixels? :unsure: Hmm

For fonts I'd go with Coppergate Gothic Bold. After that, making a dark text with dark shadow will inevitably fuzz it up, so I'd avocate sticking to white with dark effects or black with light effects (although dark fonts for button will usually always retain some fuzziness).

I like them, just maybe a little bit more squarish?? Looks too much like XP :P

This brings up an intesting point -- it's hard to modify all of the buttons when you have to hunt and peck your way around several forum threads just to see all of the buttons. I didn't even realise this forum had an "ICQ" button until just recently.

It would be swell if Bolty posted all of the modifiable buttons in one comprehensive list, and set out some general guidelines on button sizes (no higher than xx, no wider than yy, etc).

DeeBye,

Here you go! http://www.lurkerlounge.com/bolty/icons.zip

As for sizes, keep em close to those existing ones.

I'm going to run with these icons in all forums. Added credits to Ferality to the Forum FAQ. Thanks, buddy!

Much, much better than the old sky blue ones.
