Iconset for Celestia Qt4

[Boux]

Well, I put this in the add-on releases section even if it is more a change in source code than a stand-alone.
Anyway, I did not like the standard time-toolbar icons in Celestia-Qt4.
I thought it deserved a better iconset.
So, I created a new set.

Old set:


My own new set:


The attached pack contains:
- Celestia directory structure with the correct icons names for compiling Celestia for Qt4
- Iconset folder containing the eight icons in uncompressed format
- Folder with a SVN 5018, win32 celestia-qt4 executable for those who do not want to bother with compiling stuff
Just copy the celestia-qt4.exe to your current Celestia folder, side by side with the regular celestia.exe.
The build has been made with uncompressed icons as I am too lazy to compress them.
If you build by yourself, you may want to compress first the icons to some 50% or more ratio. The exe will be a bit smaller, but who cares?

Enjoy!

Hi, all,
Following a request from Chris, I have re-designed and further developped the iconset(s).
There are now five sets in the attached package:
- Qt "universal" which should fit all needs
- Aero set for good Vista/Seven toolbar rendering
- Mac-like sets that may look prettier on OSx; blue and grey versions included with gradient background
- Grey generic sets for those who like more basic styles
Screenshots:
Qt blue style:

OSx style (mouseover effect is really cute but unfortunately it is not visible on a screenshot):

Aero style


The package also include a fresh Win32 SVN 5019 build with the Mac style compiled in.
Downloadable here

Enjoy!

This is the final Qt iconset with latest Win32 SVN 5022 build.
Changelog: time-currenttime icon made consistent with the other icons

Aero:

Can you make a space-like set?
This way it blends in with celestia and doesn't curse with the operating system windows decorations style anymore.

( Black background with the icons in same colors as the celestia text in the four corners of the celestia viewport. )

It does not work that way actually.
The time toolbar is a Qt dockable widget, part of the Qt4 ui.
The "universal" icon set is platform/os/style/decoration independent.
Black background would be absolutely ugly in this particular widget context.
Obviously, we are talking about the Qt4 version of Celestia here, not the plain jane one.

Yes the Qt4 version.

I meant having an overlay on celestia's viewport and drawing elements in the style of the text.

Celestia should have an OpenGL UI that allows for these modifications, additions.
