If you are a graphic designer
and would like to help create more toolbar buttons, you
need to draw 6 images for each additional button. These
6 images are 6 states of the toolbar, i.e., large,
large hot, large greyed, small, small hot, small greyed.
Hot means the state when mouse is over the button. Greyed
means when the button is disabled.
The toolbar button bitmaps are stored under the installation
directory of SlimBrowser. They are named,
- toolbar.bmp, large
- toolbar_h.bmp, large hot
- toolbar_g.bmp, large greyed
- toolbar_s.bmp, small
- toolbar_s_h.bmp, small hot
- toolbar_s_g.bmp, small greyed.
The large icons are 24x24 pixels, The small icons are 16x16
pixels. You just need add an icon into all the 6 bitmap
file. You can derive the hot version by simply increasing
the brightness of the normal version. You can derive the
grey version by using a grey gradient map in photoshop.
Important
- The purple background in each bitmap stands for the
transparent color. Please make sure the icons you add
have exactly the same background, i.e., it must have color
value strictly equal to RGB(255,0,255).
- Please make sure all bitmaps must be 24-bit true-color
bitmap.
Thanks for any help. |
