Title: Little icony things next to topics
Post by: flammableBen on Saturday, July 19, 2008, 19:40:59
You may, or may not have noticed that you can change the little icony thing next to your new topic.

I'm not really sure what the default one,http://thetownend.com/Themes/Red_Essence/images/post/xx.gif, is supposed to be. The rest, although a bit more obvious in there symbolness, don't really do much in representing the sort of threads we get on the tef.

Sooo... I thought it would be a fun to create some more tefy icons, and that maybe some of you other lonely bored types might enjoy taking a break from self harming and masturbation to do the same! The biggest of the default set seems to be 20 x 20 pixels, I've stuck with that for my effort to avoid any table breakage.

It's supposed to be a couple of players see. I've gone with the edgy factor by making one black. Crazy eh? I'm sure some on here can do better, working with such a small amount of pixels is a mega fun challenge!

I don't think I can upload these from the admin panel, but I'm sure next time Chief B. Scott isn't too busy he won't mind uploading a couple.

Good times. I might attempts something more abstract than players in a little bit. Unless something more exciting comes up.

Edit: oops, I've fucked up the transparency. I'll sort that in a min.

I think you can do it Ben, have a play.

I'm away until Wednesday from tomorrow, so unless you can do it, it'll have to wait until my return. Send me a pm with what you want done and i'll sort it then.

A train at a station...obviously, or so I thought originally. I'm not so sure now. Anyway... Away Days

Sorry I got a bit distracted last night. A visitor with wine. Happy times. I've got a couple more ideas that I'll pull off in a sexy way later.

I can upload smilies, but the icons are stored elsewhere in the themes image folder, which I can't see a way to upload stuff too. I can browse it though so maybe I'm just missing something.

I could probably upload them as an emoticon and then hack together the image paths.

The players on sensi never had that much detail on them.
