[request] Win10-style toolbar

[m0n]

How about a toolbar like this:

User may select between current and Win10-style.

Skin files attached: [2018-01-31]_Skins.zip

(I have unchecked "Admit monitor dpi with font size" and this way 19px height toolbar-buttons are 1:1)

[m0n]

I just noticed that icons size depends on TabBar font size too (which is in my specific case is exactly 19px tall).

If You want, I can make a few different size variations but then You need to select from them by a few additional lines of code...

Required sizes are 14px, 21px, 28px.

I totally 1,000,000% agree, can we please get some new icons??? :) This is such a beautiful program, with that bit of an eyesore in the corner. No offense m0n but I don't like your icons either :). Those hardly follow any Win10 design standards. But the overall request (updating icons) would get a million thumbs up by me if I could.

[Maximus5]

@aplocher I'm not a designer, are you?

[aplocher]

Unofficially... on occasion... yes. Or a royalty free icon sleuth with an eye for consistency...

[m0n]

@Maximus5: The requested 3 sizes are attached: Win10_toolbar.zip

Could You use the 38th icon instead of Scroll.bmp please?

Maybe unneccasary to remark that: do NOT downscale icons! (because of nearest-neighbourhood scale there will be missing columns/rows)

@aplocher: I was not intended to make a Win10 theme - I just needed to give a subject for the "issue" and then I did referred this as "Win 10 style". I created that 19px tall icons just to not to be resized by that fucking stupid Windows.

Thanks to Your critisism I modified skin a bit. (however I will never make Scroll icon B&W - this Win10 styling is so boring... )

This was tricky to save but works finally: search.bmp.zip

I really dislike how the icons look in the app when I increase the font size of the tabs (like the X is all chunky with giant pixels and makes it look very inconsistent with the other icons). I'm not sure what it would take to render SVG icons on the UI, but that would really be the way to go. This would allow it to properly scale to any size without the need for several sizes of raster images that represent a single icon.

[m0n]

Instead of SVG support I strongly suggest a checkbox: "Disable fine resizing toolbar icons"

For this checkbox I magnified missing 2 variations of original icons. I hope original author will create 21px & 28px variants... (until that, magnified versions are OK).

Previous indexed-color Win10 icons are re-saved in ARGB (tested even on XP)

I modified the attached zip in the original post to reflect these changes/additions.

@Maximus5: if somebody edit a post, do You informed about that automatically?

[Maximus5]

The toolbar resizes icons because there were no properly rendered bitmaps. This will be changed of course.

Nope. Users (and me) receive notifications on new comments only.

Any updates on this?

If anyone here is a designer, I suggest a total revamp of the ConEmu's UI to be based on new Fluent Design concept.

This is an example of how Win Explorer should be: https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/windows-10-file-explorer-update-2020/

This design looks like a Ribbon, doesn't it?

[junalmeida]

@Maximus5 Yes, but don't get me wrong, I am not suggesting to use a Ribbon. This is just an example of windows, corners, backgrounds, acrylic, and Ribbon if you think it is necessary (in case of ConEmu I'm not sure we need a ribbon in the main window).

I believe that from this example, the most important part to get inspiration from is the tabs and the + button all wrapped in the titlebar with acrylic style.

The rest of the ui can be inspiration for settings dialog.
