Better images for the simple status widget #29

Hmm, what if we made vector graphics images? (font based images)

Segath commented 5 years ago

Unsure what that is, but you could try. If using the already made widget for simple status you only need to change the image destination in the dictionary statusIcons. Problem is that it won't scale down if the original image is too large, so we either need a small image scaled up or rescale the images in the code when a resize event is triggered.

https://www.high-logic.com/font-editor/fontcreator the idea is to make a custom font where we use icons instead of generic alphabetic letters, that way we can apply any color and scale.

Rein will try to get images from the rover we can use for this widget. Can't remember if it is from a schematic/cad?
