Hello guys, here's some buttons I made yesterday (based on Orbital Suite)! I hope you'll like these

Latest version of zlib.dll and libpng.dll recommended
[attachment=1357:attachment]
I like! I'm using the blue ones right now, and they look great with my fcs. Thanks a lot!
Very Nice.
i like them as well (the small ones), but they are two little annoyances :
1/ the background outside the circles is not transparent
2/ even using the small buttons, they increase the toolbar height, which I don't like
I have W2k SP4, lipng12.dll (dated 19/9/2004), zlib1.dll (dated 18/11/2003).
Any idea?
1/ the background outside the circles is not transparent
That's normal, hermik's icons are made like this (with the outside white circle)

Nice
Thanx

Actually I believe he was speaking of the black background outside of the circles
(see attached image). At least, that's my difficulty.
EDIT: I'm running WinXP SP2 and fb2k 0.8.3 with the latest libpng and zlib.
hmmm that's weird...
I'm using zlib.dll v1.2.2 (http://www.zlib.net/zlib122-dll.zip) (October 3rd, 2004) and libpng.dll (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617&package_id=16183) v1.2.8 here... it works perfectly (transparency and all)
I'm trying to recreate the transparency problem with older version of zlib and libpng but I strongly suggest you to update these files to the latest version for security reasons anyway
zlib.dll 1.2.2 + libpng 1.2.8

I also have the same problem.
It seems that Win2K can't make black background transparent
nice buttons...thanks alot
edit: so do i have to cut the buttons up myself?

hehe that easy huh...oh well thanks
edit: where do i make the buttons transparent and when i load fb2k it says i dont have libpng12.dll, but i have libpng13.dll. So what do i do...if i rename it to libpng12.dll it loads up fine.
Could you include the "special" button set in the "small" package, too? Thanks!
Disregard - sorry
I'm getting the same problems with the black backgrounds as other users...I have downloaded various versions of the dll files, but still cannot get rid of them...
...has anyone else found a solution yet?
The PNGs in the button package are 32bit PNGs (24bit color w/ 8bit alpha channel).
If you refer to the other tab in the Columns UI configuration you will notice the following:
32-bit images with 8-bit alpha channel only supported on Windows XP and newer
If you are running Win2k or any of the crusty Win9x series, the transparencies on these buttons the way they are now won't work properly no matter what version of zlib and libpng you have.

True....however, I am using WindowsXP with ALL the latest updates
Where should I put the two dll's??
in your foobar directory
Updated Columns UI and it recognizes the two dll's, but doesn't load the buttons.
did you point foobar to your buttons?
preferences-->Columns UI-->other: use custom buttons
Off course! I've tryed....
But I've forgot to restart Foobar.. Silly me!
Great stuff, good work.
Do you have a .fcb-file for this buttons?
Yes please someone port these to 0.9...
Hmmm that's quite difficult to do as different people have used the smoke buttons in various unique combinations, by way of example I have attached litmitil's custom smoke button setup in both 0.8.3 PNG and 0.9 FCB formats.
Edit: litmitil's entire 0.8.3 columns UI configuration is available here (http://foobar.nub4life.net/columns/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=108), screenshot (http://foobar.nub4life.net/columns/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=99).
Any chance of getting these working with 0.9?
