Working on buttons with icons

Post by splash21 » Fri Jan 10, 2014 6:39 pm

I should hopefully receive the svg icons from Steve at http://smash-digital.com/ today. I made a test TTF font from a few sample icons he sent me - see screenshot below. The Inbox, download and alarm icons are now in the test font, so will display at any size / color. The phone and star icons were just test images.

I'm thinking that the buttons could act in a configurable way..
  • Act like nornals buttons - change appearance when they are touched and change back when released
  • Act like tab option buttons and stay selected when touched, deselecting all others with the same parent
and that they can use images in different ways..
  • Reference an image object, so you can make use of the resolution independence image feature : normal image, @2x, etc...
  • Use an icon font : scaling automatically as required

Wow! This is exciting and looks great, John. Any idea when we'll see the next release of the MobGÜI plug-in with these features for our testing? I'm anxious to try all of the new features in a couple projects I am building.

Today! I've been using the latest version all day today and haven't found any bugs - maybe I'm not looking hard enough? :P

I'll post it online, then start updating the documentation. If feedback is good, this version will be the official 1.0
