I made a crappy screenshot to explain :) I'm not sure how I should call the "content" (icon, label, ...?). Anyway, here it is:

This happen when:

 

1. Loading the app

2. switching to dark theme

3. switching back to light theme

 

I see :) 

 

This has already been fixed in the next version, thanks for the feedback :)

It's built with XAML :)

I'm using VB to write it.

Just looked up xaml, seems like a hassle to style since it uses xml for styling.

How do you make animations? I guess it's not that simple as css transitions :(  ?

I either use Blend to create the animations or write them myself, but they're normally pretty simple to write.

 

An example of an animation:

   <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TransformGroup.Children)[0].(ScaleTransform.ScaleX)" Storyboard.TargetName="borderNoteOptions">
                <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.3" Value="1">
                    <EasingDoubleKeyFrame.EasingFunction>
                        <CircleEase EasingMode="EaseOut"/>
                    </EasingDoubleKeyFrame.EasingFunction>
                </EasingDoubleKeyFrame>
            </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>

It's not that hard once you've played around with it a bit. Plus Visual Studio's IntelliSense helps you a lot with it by providing autocomplete. Also, controls can still be dragged and dropped on the window forms, like with WinForms. It's just that, if you wish to further customize a control, you can also dive into the xaml instead of changing properties through menu's.

For animations you'd have to use what they call StoryBoards. They're also pretty easy once you undertstand them.

 

Then there is also Blend for Visual Studio, which is a graphical tool to help style controls and create animations. I've never used Blend though, I like doing things manually.

I love it!! Looking forward to the next release. Current release crashes when I try to attach a file... And the taskbar icon looks goddamn awful  :p

 

What OS are ya running?

 

I'm not too sure why the icons like that but i'll try and fix it for the next version :)

 I think I know what those are for and I love it!

 

I'm currently on build 10147 (The recently leaked one) of Windows 10 but the issue was present on the latest official build as well. I didn't have a chance to try it on Win 8.1 yet.

I just tried it on the latest leaked build and i'm getting the same thing too :/ Maybe to do with how I saved the icon file - i'll try it in a different program and see if it works.

That arrow morphing into a check looks gorgeous!

 

I've been thinking about this and maybe when I said the glitchy icon was also present on the latest official build I was actually on the leaked 10135 build... My bad.  :whistle:

 

 

Since your're not only amazing at this but also a mod and I'm fairly new to the forum I might have a question for you. 

 

What's the policy on editing quotes here? I'm not talking about changing the text, of course, just trimming it by removing images (So not to stretch the page) or only quoting the sentence that is relevant  to my reply. I couldn't find anything on the Community rules.

That sounds completely fine to do :) I've done it before myself so i'm sure you'll be fine.

 

Where can I download a preview of this amazing app? :)

 

There's a link to the older version on the first page, the newer version previewed above is still in the works and won't be available until around the end of summer.

 

Thanks :)

Icon Exploration for P3, any ideas?
