I think they are great, though I like 6 more. But can the be a little smaller? Maybe just a pixel or 2, but I think that if you shrink them they get less distracting and with the colors it will be clear what where to build.

Well, it appears the vocal majority favors the icons in 6. I may do some very minor tweaks to get them ready, but you can expect to see them in the game VERY SOON! Thank you, fraang, for your fine work. Keep it up! And thank you , COMMUNITY. Together we have made Widelands what it is and together we forge its destiny. I see little people.

Astuur has proposed a variation on the build help icons, suggesting making them semi-transparent. Here is how the proposed icons would appear in the game: Let's hear your thoughts. I see little people.

It will definitely take some getting used to, but I like it a lot. It makes the buildhelp more subtle and less intrusive. Edit: Forget about my previous technical comment, I was being stupid. (What I said applies only to colour key rendering, which we don't use.) Edited: 2011-03-01, 18:45

Just want to mention that I got the idea of using transparency after havening read
Chucks guidelines here.
http://wl.widelands.org/wiki/GraphicsDevelopment/ Also, I want to say, that I like the design of the icons as such a lot. Great work! Being no programmer, I apologize for all my suggestions that imply undue workload and for other misjudgements due to lack of expertise or relevant skills.

Yes I like the idea of semi-transparence. I would suggest something about 75-65 %. What do you think? Edited: 2011-03-02, 19:59

Looks good to me. :-)
I hope, it is visible when semi-transparent? (That was a question for a screenshot, when available. Two is the oddest prime.
