Dark Glossy Buttons
 
The only modifications I will undertake on these buttons are background colour modifications. Other coloured sets will be released shortly for more of a variety. :)

Note!! Do not ask for the .PSD files. I won't release them for a variety of reasons.

Related Releases: Members can download the matching Forum Status Icons in this Thread

Update: Although the multi-quotes have been added in the original .zip archive, I've came to the conclusion (and with the help of christiansb reply) that not everyone likes large multi-quote buttons therefore designed smaller variations which you can download in the attachment (Right).

These are great. I could really use a blue version *hint hint* :p

Good work though.

davidw 08-03-2006 11:05 PM

These are nice buttons - do you have a multi-quote button for 3.6 as well? (I've not played with 3.6 yet - Is that what the quoteplus and quoteminus are?)

Alien 08-03-2006 11:25 PM

These are completely sweet. :)

I look forward to more color options!

Updated the first post in this thread with smaller Multi-quote buttons. I did release multi-quote buttons in the original archive but am aware the larger variants won't appeal t everyone thus I added alternative smaller variants. :)

Thanks for the comments. There will be other colour variations released shortly with a blue version being released next. :)

perfect! thank you :)

DavidL 08-04-2006 12:59 AM

One of the top sets I have seen in a while. Kudos
Installed. Thank You.

Snort_2005 08-04-2006 04:45 AM

I would so like to use this set of my site, but there are only a few things missing..

1, there isn't an infractions icon for the little icon in posts that point to post infraction about X topic..

2, This set looks like it's made to work against a light background color. I would love to see it setup so it works against a dark background color, (Namely Black), but I can probably do that myself.

3, What about a skype icon? I see you have MSN, AIM, YIM, and ICQ... What about Skype?

1. I haven't ever designed the "Infractions" Image whenever I designed a vB button set. I suppose there's no reason not to though I'll probably design and update the sets I release once I install 3.6 on my main site.

2. Correct. They are saved out for a white background though you can request for a modification for a background colour change (which was stated in the first post in this thread). if you provide a link to your board I can see what colours the buttons need saving out to and post the attachment.

Note!! bare in mind it's only background colour changes I'll do on this button set. :)

3. I've been putting this off, dunno why the Icon could be designed in less than 5 minutes so sometime today I'll update the attachment with the skype marker.

1. Okay... I guess I can wait... Not like my members are gonna see that one. :lol:

2. I'm using a pretty dark style, most graphics are incomplete, and I redid my templates since I installed 3.6 on there.. You can find my forums be looking in my profile, or clicking here. :p

3. ;) Thank ya! ^_^;

I've managed to get your request complete though I still need to design the skype images (still thinking what type of design to do). Once I've done that I'll update this reply and post the attachment. :)

I've included 2 sets of Multi_quote images small and large incase you didn't fancy using the larger ones.

davidw 08-04-2006 10:27 AM

Snort, this might compliment your forum with the new button set.

Snort_2005 08-04-2006 06:25 PM

@cristianb: Those look great... :o I'll probably use those black ones if they are antialised for black backgrounds... *lol*

@Shelly_c: Aweome job on those, but I forgot to mention, There's a "redcard" and "yellowcard" image that goes along with the infraction system.. Could we possibly have something to match the buttons, but still show up like so..


Also, I really like this buttonset. ;) Kudos for such an excellent graphical set. :D

*Sephiroth clicks install*

Rich 08-06-2006 01:49 PM

Hello,

Just out of curiosity, what font was used? I may need to make myself a few more buttons to go with this set. Thanks!

Phrost 08-06-2006 04:00 PM

These are excellent. I just added the ones you did for Snort but if you have time I'd love for you to tailor them to my forum: www.socicoide.com/forums . The New Thread/Post one have his background on them otherwise.

Thanks for your great work!

Oddjob 08-06-2006 10:56 PM

What are the odds of getting the psd for this?

twitch 08-07-2006 05:40 PM

nice work shelley

Shelley_c 08-07-2006 07:38 PM

Skype Icons added in the first post of this thread. :)

@Phrost I'll make the necessary modifications as soon as I am able to. :)

@oddjob Sorry, I won't release the PSD for these buttons.

@Rich The font I used is 04b_03b set with no anti-aliasing at 8px. ;)

BeaufordRox 08-09-2006 01:56 AM

Incredible button set! My website isn't up yet (waiting for everything to go through) but I'm designing the forum on a local machine at the moment.

I could really use this buttonset with a background color of #0D0D0D.

Thanks in advance!

Shelley_c 08-09-2006 05:44 PM

Here you go. :)

BeaufordRox 08-09-2006 06:32 PM

Awesome Shelly! Thanks so much! :D

Kirk Y 08-11-2006 10:02 AM

Shelley you are a Designer Goddess!

DannyMilner 08-11-2006 03:42 PM

They are ace!

Could I please request something...

Would it be possible for a add to reputation as a Icon

Kind regards,
Danny

Shelley_c 08-11-2006 03:50 PM

Thanks for all the comments.

I think the reputation icon is the only other icon I haven't designed for this set, mainly because I'm trying to design something that is exceeding my capabilities. I'll see what I can do and will post something soon for you. :)

Oddjob 08-14-2006 12:06 AM

Looking for a thanks button....thanks in advance.

Shelley_c 08-14-2006 11:42 AM

Here ya go. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

blue6995 08-18-2006 05:03 AM

Great set of buttons, which I will hopefully be using. I just have a couple of question, but please bear with me as I'm just a novice with regard to vBulletin:

Do I upload all of the buttons to the buttons folder of my forum, or do they go into separate folders, such as statusicons, misc, etc?

Do I need to rename any of them and do I need to delete any of the original ones?

Thanks

mbr 08-20-2006 09:37 AM

thx bro nice work :)

I have a request :p

I love the buttons but, i need .. add rep :p

if you can do it (for a dark forum like BeaufordRox)!!

:) cheers

Shouzen 08-20-2006 07:06 PM

when I install them, all the buttons work except for the multiqoute ones. I uploaded them but they don't work.

nix 08-21-2006 12:55 AM

you have to rename them.

Shouzen 08-21-2006 01:38 AM

what do I have to rename and to what?

Shelley_c 08-21-2006 02:37 AM

Choose which multi-quote variants (whether it's the large or small) and rename them to multiquote_off.gif & multiquote_on.gif. These were designed before I upgrade to 3.6 and didn't know what they were originally name as. In short, I got a little lazy and didn't check. :)

upload them into the /buttons directory for the specific style you want them to display for. :)

Shouzen 08-21-2006 03:04 AM

K thanks and the online/offline images doesn't show either.

Shelley_c 08-21-2006 03:12 AM

They should show, I'm sure I named them correctly. Ensure I renamed them as the following:

- user_online.gif
- user_offline.gif
- user_invisible.gif

Afterwhich, upload them to the /statusicon directory.

edit: I downloaded the attachment and noticed I didn't include the underscore when I renamed the offline icon. I removed the old archive and updated it with the correct title. Like I said though, upload them into the directory I mentioned and they should work. :)

Shouzen 08-21-2006 03:21 AM

i uploaded them wrong. thanks by the way.
is there an announcemet button for this color?

Shelley_c 08-21-2006 03:50 AM

Was it the button or actuall Icon you needed? Anyhow, I added the icons (below) if you wanted it placed on the button let me know.

Shouzen 08-21-2006 06:51 PM

no this is enought. thank you.

Kurisu 08-23-2006 03:02 PM

Awesome work, Shelley!
Could you also share the .PSD files please?

Shelley_c 08-24-2006 07:41 AM

Sorry Kurisu, I won't allow anyone to modify/alter my designs and there's a whole load of other reasons why I won't release the .PSD. :)

Very professional set, thank you!

I could really use a matching reputation and infraction icon too.

Also, maybe it's just me (ive just upgraded to vb3.6) but aren't the multi quote icons coloured backwards?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/3...oteplusvl6.gif

I would imagine that the ADD multiquote icon, which adds the post in your multiquote queue should be black, then turn red to show it's enabled for that post?

I've taken the liberty of changing the + and - for myself and have attached them to this post if anyone wants them. (If you want me to remove them please pm)
