[Button Set] Simple Yet Effective - FuturisticOdyssey - 11-20-2009

Hello,
I've recently completed this button set, which I'd like to call "Simple Yet Effective."

Like they are called, they are simple, yet effective.

They're really good work. Nice job sir Smile

Thanks Trilobyte!

Did you like the chalky effect of the text?

RE: [Button Set] Simple Yet Effective - ElephantShoe - 11-20-2009

Is it me but do they look a bit blurred? Also, did you mean to put the white around the corners on purpose? I'd imagine you would want them to be transparent. Another thing, the one that says "Closed" looks like it's off center vertically. And I think you forgot to stroke the "Quote" button.

RE: [Button Set] Simple Yet Effective - FuturisticOdyssey - 11-20-2009

No, it's the background of this forum that the transparency does not agree with. If you look at it here it looks great, as does any other place with a light colored background.

Closed, as you mentioned, is centered off vertically, great eye. And blurred, no? It can be the chalky effect of the text.

That would be to do with SF's dark background, nothing image related.

Figured that, because it looks well elsewhere. *Shrug.*

Well, it goes fine with that forum because it's white, but it still isn't transparent. =] Meaning, if you were to use them on a darker colored forum, it would be white, which you already know.

I was thinking they were blurred because "Closed" looks way more sharpened then the other buttons.

Well they are faded to a 46 percent. Except for closed.

And, it's transparent, trust me.

Oh, I see. If it was me I would just get some chalk font. :]

Those ones aren't too great but Google has more to offer if you're interested.


Also, I just saved the image to check if it was transparent.

Of course it looks transparent on lighter boards, but on darker, it's not transparent. The image itself is not transparent on lighter boards either, it just looks that way, there is a difference. Sorry if it seems like I'm coming at you hard, but I'm just trying to help. Smile So, if anyone wants to use these on a darker board, they're going to run into some issues. =\

This board is infamous for the fact that it can't support PNG24 (I think) transparent avatars uploaded straight from your computer, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with it.
