Icon display: mean quality

(1/1)

poyan:
Hi,

I read the thread https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=21776.0
and with those settings all is ok.
But I would like to use a dark background. Then, all icons with a round or oblique outline look really ugly - they have a shadow in the colour of the background of the default skin - all icons that come from the program files.
If I make icons on my own (4th from the left), or the icons have an outline strictly horizontal/vertical then it is ok.

i'm pretty sure there is a way to fix this -- i'm not sure if it's something i have to do in code or can be tweaked with one of the color settings for the launch bar.
remind me if i don't post a solution in a couple of days.  perhaps you could email me a test launchbar demonstrating the problem ([email protected]), that would help.

Hi, mouser,
thank you for your fast reply. The launchbar is included in my first posting. Look at the left three icons (firefox, thunderbird, freecommander) and the one at the right (ccleaner) - they all have this lucid "shadow" or borderline. These icons come directly from the exe-files.
The forth icon is one that I made using icoFx (.ico-file) with round and oblique outline structures - no "shadow".
And number 5 & 6 also are from the exe-files, but have only vertical and horizontal outlines - also no shadow.
It is only evident if you use dark colours or you set to "translucent", and your desktop is dark. You can a little see it with your darker skins, but mostly the skins have a colour very similar to that "shadow" - so you don´t see it at all. I guess it is a problem in "interpreting" the icon-format used in the exe-files.

Or do you mean something else?

Kind regards

mouser:
Could you send me the launchbar (mcf) file? And i will try to fix.
