I should have some time again tomorrow. Ill thin the arrows down on Trade 11 so theres more definition.
Initually I thought the single coin version looked better. But at small scale I agree that the 2 coin one is easier to distinguish.

I'll post another in-game shot when pd does the glowification.

If you want something more substantial, have a go at the production screen UI design...

Very true. But what your all producing sure is looking good.

Nobody's producing much of anything for the production screen right now. The basic theme of it can probably be copied form the new research screen model by pd, but the layout and functional issues of the production screen need deciding as well, and there are various parts of it that don't have versions to copy from on the research screen. The sidepanel and buildings palette and such, for example, and how to pick build locations and show this info graphically...

this is definitely the final one, no matter whether you can clearly see the arrow heads or not. you simply can't expect too much from an icon at this size(20x20).

Read the thread... there's some general discussion at the start, as well as my explanations and thoughts in posts where I include mockups, and other people's objections or comments or unrelated thoughts and suggestions. If that's not enough, then email, pm or post questions.

I was about to integrate the tech category icons when I discovered that they are not all 128x128, and don't appear to be antialiased. Could I get these, updated with those modifications? Thanks in advance.
