Icon request

[Ari Rahikkala]

Back when I was creating these strange religion-based icons for this board, I missed a few in such places that the lack of custom icons makes the board look kind of strange (ugly) occasionally. Witness:

- the "reply" button in closed topics (example)
- the ICQ and YIM instant messaging system buttons (example)
- the private message "reply" button
- anything I missed?

Unfortunately, I've lost the template files for creating these images, so I can't send you the icon background (then again, it's just a black-blue stripey thing with a bevel effect, nothing difficult to reproduce) or the exact font settings (but I'm sure a little experimentation will get you close).

Would the MiniInfo be interested in filling the symmetry-breaking lack of icons, replacing some of the uglier ones, or even redrawing the whole set?

Ooooh, I did miss something: The "new topic" icon on locked forums. Example

I would not dream of replacing any of the ones you have done such a gootime soon, because I am having trouble downloading graphics programs on a reasonable time scale. But I will add it to my list.

I've PMed you the icons you wanted. I think I did a good job on the buttons, but I just can't get the text to look exactly right.

icq is a chili, for Adriann, Goddess of Spice. Because communicating with each other adds spice to all our lives.

yim is a cloaked man in a sombrero, for Senior Mysteriouso, because I've never used YIM and I'm not even sure what it is.

Reply is a tear, for Lacrymosa, God of Excess. Because replying to private messages leads to whole long excessive conversations. At least for me.

I love your ideas Yvain.

Well, following in Ari's footsteps can be very inspirational

* nods, adds icons to forum *

Good work... though... I'll see if I can get the text to look nicer once I get to Oulu on the 9th... it's kinda sorta lacking... something...
