New buttons for OS X Leopard

Postby Red » 18 Aug 2009 05:43

Hey,
I've made Leopard's style buttons for VLC (because the buttons of VLC are designed for Tiger).
Here they are : VLC - Leopard buttons.zip - 0.22MB
Say me if you liked them.

You know that there is a redesign of Mac OS interface in the works?

You should mail it to vlc-devel mailing list.

Ok thanks
I'll do it

Yes, I know it was one, but (sorry to say that), when I see it don't come it the 1.0, I said myself "do it yourself" :)

I like the idea of your button set. It would be easy to replace the current graphics even in a potentially forthcoming 1.0.3. However, I dislike the sharp edges. Is it possible to get a version with round edges similar to the current buttons or like the ones in DVD Player.app? That would be awesome!

Thanks to your reply.
Yes, I can do it
I'll try to do it quickly
So I don't mail this actual set to the vlc-devel mailing list, I'll send the next version.

(Sorry for my english, I do my best)

I finished them, (but the forum was down).
Should I mail it to vlc-devel@videolan.org ?
Here there are : VLC Leopard buttons v2.zip - 0.20MB
I don't understand the "like in the DVD app", does it means round buttons ? It will be necessary to change the nib.
I made one with round edges similar to the current buttons.

Oh, I meant "round edges", no round buttons.

The 2nd set looks really nice. Could mail this to the mailing-list and also make one of the screenshots available somewhere, so people can have a look without downloading the entire package?

BTW. Would you be interested in a few more designs for a future version of VLC?

I'll be interessed but I don't have a lot of time during the year (I am student currently on holiday).
And my capacities in design are very limited.
But if I can help, just tell me.
