Title: CP Designer - WIP Announcement
Post by: screaming on April 18, 2005, 05:12:05 pm

Hello all,

  I'm not sure if it's still a secret to you people, but I'm working on a CP Designer program.   This program will be able to help you design control panel images to use with CPMaker and CPViewer (Does anyone still use Johnny5?  Please let me know if you do..).

  It will come with a default set of images for people to use and so far I have some buttons (http://www.bluecamel.org/software/cpdesigner/Images/Buttons/) ready to go, but I don't want to do the rest. Do any graphics-savvy people want to give me a hand and come up with a nice default set of buttons, joysticks (8way, 4way, flightstick, etc), and other inputs (different color trackballs, spinners, etc)?

I'm 90% of the way through the programming and it's coming close to being ready for beta.   Having these images done for me would be a great help!

BTW, if you want to see a recent state of CP Designer to see what it is you'll be working with, you can check it out here (http://www.bluecamel.org/software/cpdesigner/cpdesigner.zip).  You can pretty much do everything except for save (or export) :)  You can, however, layout your images and export a png as a background image for CPViewer!  If you want to check it out and have any suggestions for improvement, now's the time!


Thanks for any help you can provide...

Hi,

I'm not exactly 'graphics savvy', but I did modify a few of the buttons you linked to.  Basically just color changes (white, black and red), as well as P1 and P2 buttons.  If you like, I can send you the .ai file.

I sent those files along (as I'm sure you know  ;)).  This might get more traffic if you post a note in the artwork forum, as well.  Just a thought...
