| by mboyden on 2010/6/1 14:49:41 Yes, having a common methodology for administration would be great. There was a push for this some time back and a lot of the authors jumped on board with the tabs concept. However, we kinda moved away from it. We also started a Module Quality Team awhile back that rated modules on various things such as this as well as code (such as putting HTML into the functional layer, a no-no that still is done too much IMHO). Maybe a revival of that along with the updated repository that is moving forward. Personally, I started using Crystal Icons about 18 months ago and all deployed modules on the user side use a consistent set of these since then for all my installations. It could help all our users to do that. The next question becomes which size or having a configuration option that allows the user to choose, but the icons don't all exist at all sizes either. But, it's the right thing for us to do -- to adopt a standard set of icons and use them throughout our modules and core. |

But I hope, we'll evolve to a system where the icons will be stored centrally and each module will get them from there, and the user will be able to define in Preferences which set he wants to use: Crystal, FamFamFam, or yet something custom. The key is that once the user selects the icon set, he'll have all modules using this particular set, and thus having a consistent look and feel. Currently, each module is pretty much using own set of icons. Add to it a theme switch mechanism for Admin/Modules like the one ThemeRoller from jQueryUI , and then we have a very nice solution for our users. |

| by luciorota on 2010/5/31 21:28:01 we can improve XoopsSystemGui class, with some methods... addIcon('icon name', ICON URL, ICON_DECSRIPTION, ICON_SIZE...) renderIcon('icon name') srcIcon('...') ... sir Trabis on 2009-09-13 is the last who commits on this class... his wisdom could be useful
