I've had some icons custom made for my application and they look really good. However, when my application opens up, they are disabled. The reason for this is that they don't change to enabled until the application verifies a configuration and it's in a state ready to run. it's a scientific application and by run I mean it runs simulations. So there's several buttons similar to running and stopping states that are disabled for the most of the time the app is open while the user is configuring and analyzing.
My concern is that, I've got these great looking colorful icons that can't really be seen or don't make the app look as good as it could if the buttons were enabled. I'm thinking of putting little "light" like indicators below the buttons that show when the simulation is ready to run and always keeping the buttons enabled. Anyone had similar experiences/ideas? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
