<P><FONT SIZE=2>I've changed mine so that they are transparent(except for the inner symbol and outer border) until the control is hovered over.<BR>
i think it adds a bit of discreteness to the ui.<BR>

Subject: [OpenLayers-Users] Intuitive and good looking icons<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Hi List!<BR>
<BR>
OpenLayers is great! Thanks to all of you that have been participating in<BR>
the development. But... there is always things that can be better.<BR>
<BR>
We all know that the default icons used for the various controls, i.e. the<BR>
navigation toolbar and editing toolbar, have seen their best days long ago.<BR>
I know that it's pretty easy to replace them with your own icons, but how do<BR>
you find, or make, icons that are good? They have to look nice and be<BR>
intuitive so that the users understand what they are meant to be used for.<BR>
<BR>
Does anyone have suggestions of good icons to use for the various controls?<BR>
I am specifically interested in<BR>
<BR>
- a better looking ZoomBox.<BR>
- better looking Navigation, PanPanel and ZoomPanel.<BR>
- an intuitive icon for the SelectFeature control.<BR>
- an intuitive icon for zooming to the extent of a feature.<BR>
<BR>
I guess there is some sort of international standard that would be nice to<BR>
follow for these tools? Does anyone know of a good site with icons like<BR>
these? Or maybe we could all try and come up with some nice icons here?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
<BR>
