Hey, I'm making patcher skins for Thor and I'm stuck on one specific thing right now which is the buttons. I'd like anyone to help with things like...

  • How many buttons should I use on an average skin?
  • What names should I use for buttons? (Forum, Site, Setup, Register)
  • Should I create Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Youtube buttons?

avarage skin have 2 frames per button, but if you want to do a good work then you should use 3.

about etc. buttons it's only up to you, no criteria for such a thing :P, if you want you can even create login trough patcher.

I'm not talking about frames because default frames for buttons is 3 frames; Default, Hover, and Push

I don't think you're being very helpful Angelisk ^^; I'm not asking for help with how many frames I need; I'm asking for help with what general buttons I should use on my patcher skins as I stated in the first post

 

Edit: Yay 600 posts

:c sorry, a long time ago I bough a patcher and it came with just 1 frame buttons (it was painful).

 

 

Okay, I like Forum, Site and Setup buttons, but it's rare to see Register, since it's common that at that point (already downloaded patcher) you are already registered. also a Replay button is very cool (I love it :P). Some patchers have Vote and also Review Us.

 

As social addons the most commons are Facebook, Twitter and Youtube... I never saw G+ button before though (maybe just me).

 

 

If you have plans of sharing it with many people I would make it less complex, leaving just the main buttons (Forum, Site, Setup and Review Us/Vote).

 

 

Sorry for before, hope now I'm being more helpful   /wah

I'm not sure what you mean by Replay? If you're talking about the RO Replay feature, I haven't been able to get that to work correctly >.>;

 

Hmm...well for the patcher I'm currently working on, four buttons is the most i can put on it without it looking a little bad lol. Right now I have Start, Site, and Exit. I'm not sure what I should put for the 4th(3rd on the patcher) button.

Yes RO Replay Feature xD

 

I would go for Setup or Vote, both look fine to me, not a very specific thing.

 

Good luck about the patcher! Come to showcase later :P
