New Buttons sets
« on: June 14, 2007, 05:27:03 PM »

I'd like, if possible, that in one  of the future release of Yummy FTP that we'd be given the choice of changing the buttons sets. It the only thing that bothers me about this software, everything else just being great.

What is it about the buttons that bothers you? (I assume you are referring to the toolbar icons?)

It's unlikely I would add a feature such as you have suggested, but as it happens, I've been considering getting a complete re-design of all the icons by a professional designer - most of them are made by myself, you see.

Yes I'm refferring to this ones :


The icons on the left don't minimize even with "use small icons" picked.
And I (don't take it wrong, I like the  rest of your work) don't like the icons, they dont fit in the rest of the design of the software.

Works for me. Can't wait to see it.

The mini size option is a known limitation. These are custom buttons, hand built by me. For what it's worth, they look a lot better when you turn off the metal windows, which are largely out of favor these days and therefore no longer the default 'look' of Yummy. I do agree that the remaining icons are a different style, though.

All I need to do is find a good icon designer, who won't require me to re-mortgage my house for payment Wink

Does any one have any recommendations on that front?

Thanks for the feedback! Smiley

Well, there are the superstars of the Mac dev and design world:
- Jon Hicks
- Veerle Pieters
- Louie Mantia
- Laurent

Of course, you could always hold a contest, awarding the winner free upgrades until 3.0.

Thanks, but the problem with these is that although these designers are very talented, they are also very expensive and very sought after. So, first I will need to wait for one to become available (assuming they will even consider taking on my app) and then I will need to make an appointment with my bank manager to arrange for the re-mortgage to pay for the icons  Grin

I have actually contacted a couple of these people before regarding icon design for Yummy. But I never even received a reply... I guess I am not worthy

Eeek, she REALLY needs to do something with that site... it looks like the only work she does is that 20+ year old stuff. I'm surprised...
