CovertSphinx 710 Share Posted June 23, 2017 When making macros, how do you guys pick your "perfect" button size? I've always done things through trial and error, but unfortunately that's pretty much left me resizing and redoing countless times before coming up with something I like. So I was wondering if somebody had a different way of doing things. Do you have a pre-set size that you just use, or a particular button style that you stick to and just "skin over" the template? Do you scratch it from the get-go and just adjust as necessary when you put it on the board? Use the original macros as a sizing guide and reskin them?

CovertSphinx 710 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Any of them, really. I don't have an actual problem with anything I'm currently working on, just wondering if there's like a specific mindset or crafting people use when they create all the macro images for their skins: Side banners, reply/poll/topic buttons, stat images, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Morrigan 1,825 Admin Share Posted June 24, 2017 Oh, those! I think it depends on the skin and the headers. Personally I go for small but noticeable. I make them look like real buttons. I hate hate hate! when those are just text in some way. 1 Profile set made by myself and original Artwork by Fae Merriman, my daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit the Human 757 Share Posted June 24, 2017 My macros could do with some love XD but as a general rule: I avoid images (except textures) and just use css to style them. So the size is fluid. For things like hot topic and so on, I base it off of the forum default. 1 PSI: an Occult Investigations RP Roleplay Architects: Grab a friend (or many friends!) and just write.

KARA BELLA 18 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I basically just use the default sizes and style them with css to match the colours of the skin. I also don't always do the ones for topics or forums. Profile graphics by @Lirschen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
