Graphics, icons, bmp's for program layout

[Marc Venken]

Hello,

It's time to get some graphics into my program.

I see that there are folowing types :
16x16
32x32
Alpha (I like most)
hires

Is there a preferred type for Ribbon, Folderex and Xbrowse ?

The Alpha seems to be the most beautifull, but are there any places where we can find free items ? I don't mind general used items.

First go to Axialis.com

They have a free product called Icon Generator

They do sell libraries, but they also have a robust set of Google icons included for free. Using the generator you can size and color them. I purchased about 4 of their libraries. They always have sales on them, but the 4 cover all I want. I selected the latest set of Vector icons.

You can start by building icons from the free set. Change the color to work well with your background. ALL of my buttons now use icons rather than bitmaps.

I think you will be pleased.

I agree it. I bought it and used them into my program.

Dear Giovany,

Very good work, it looks very professional

Excellent!

[Giovany Vecchi]

Hello Antonio. Thanks for the compliment.
All made with Fivewin.

Dear Giovany,

Really excellent!

You are a FWH super Master. My admiration for your work

Do you have any small example that you could share here with us ? I am sure that many of us love your coding style !!!

[Giovany Vecchi]

Hello Antonio.
I will elaborate a simple example.
To have these visual aspects some fivewin classes were changed. tDialog, TButtonBmp and imgxtio.prg.
Few changes. It doesn't need to be applied to controls and components 1 by 1. I've already shown here the solution for Radio Buttons and CheckBox when the system is themed. After the example I will post will give the understanding for visual improvements without too many changes in the entire project.
I will be providing the example in the coming days.
A hug.

I'm interested in how do you set a background color for comboboxes in a themed app. Can you show a sample, please?
