Biyakuga Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Dear Developers, I think it is time to update icons for this great product you have including LaunchBox icon itself , any software gets icons update by time for a modern and more flat icons and UI/UX enhancement to match the standard (Windows 10/ Material Design and such on...) I know some people think this kind of stuff are worthless and new features are more important but be sure that this is not true and this kind of improvement should not be neglect and have to be done as soon as possible in my opinion Thanks and hope you will read it and take care of it.

Lordmonkus Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Don't get your hopes up. I only say this because you only have 3 posts here on the forums and all of them relate to the UI. But @Jason Carr has far more important things to improve upon than the "look" of the UI which is perfectly fine for what it is right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Yeah, better change that icon so that it's comprised of simple flat colors like Material. Oh wait... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want a modern icons at least and it is something not that hard to do It's simply that you have what was 3 and now 4 posts asking for something that is not needed and nobody but you asking for. If all you want is an updated icon feel free to make and use your own, it's not hard. But if you want a whole rework of the entire UI then Jason has far more important things to work on, believe me, he has a list a mile long of more important "functional" improvements he has to get done at some point.

It's the Launchbox icon. I see it and think of Launchbox. Dozens or hundreds of pieces of various art materials that other users have made over the years incorporate the icon into them, because it represents Launchbox. If you don't like it, that's your prerogative. 4 minutes ago, Biyakuga said: look here (colors make a big change): https://www.google.co.il/search?q=launchbox&dcr=0&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjJncqQnK3XAhWHIewKHRTlB9sQ_AUICigB&biw=1886&bih=921#imgdii=yG4G04fgo2_rMM:&imgrc=4TIfAn8zhDsEOM: or https://www.google.co.il/search?q=launchbox&dcr=0&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjJncqQnK3XAhWHIewKHRTlB9sQ_AUICigB&biw=1886&bih=921#imgrc=4TIfAn8zhDsEOM: You do know you can just change them if you don't like them right? Either via a windows shortcut -> change icon or changing the .exe's icon itself via something like Resource Hacker. Nothing's stopping you from changing them if you don't like them.

Could you tell me some of the important feature that you guys waiting for ? and I never post in the forum because there was no need to but after I moved to Windows 10 I wanted launchbox icon to match my other modern icons on my taskbar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Well you have posted in the "small things" thread, did you see the giant list of things there that people want ? Every single one of those are far more important than wasting time on an icon and UI overhaul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I will (thank you) and yes I know but I can not change the icons inside the program and if I remember right after a new update I need to change the icon again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 The 2nd post on the first page is just a sample of the things people want and Jason himself has a list of things he wants to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Just now, Biyakuga said: but I can not change the icons inside the program I'm not sure what this means. What icons in the program? Nearly everything in LB is just images that are user-supplied (box art, screenshots, etc.). If you use Big Box, you can just use a theme that better suits your tastes. That's what they're there for. 2 minutes ago, Biyakuga said: if I remember right after a new update I need to change the icon again That could be, I'm not sure. You wouldn't if you were just doing it with a shortcut though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hi @Biyakuga I attached an ICO you can use, if you wish, if you want to modify a shortcut (you would be correct that the icon would revert back to what it is now if you modified the existing EXE since it would be overwritten every time a new version is released). Being you were talking about matching Windows 10, it's just flat white, so nothing special or fancy, but matches the existing icons for the Start Menu, Xbox App, Store, etc. Totally not trolling you ; just trying to help out. I don't think it's an unreasonable request, but like has been said, if it is even something on Jason's radar to do, it's probably not very high and I think most are okay with what already exists. lb-icon.ico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I launch in Big Box mode, so no, I do not have a different one, but I mean, it's such a simple picture, you can swap colors easily with any paintbucket tool. As for saving it forever? I mean, you could upload it to some sort of cloud service? Also, I did convert it for you, but when converting to an .ico it shrinks the picture, so I've got the orginal edited picture + and the .ico version.

Moreover after a new update the old icon come back that what I meant by "forever" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
