I just finished the gradiant edge version. It seems to work well enough in any color background:
Edit: And I also cut the borders down. I think this should be the version byuu uses. Its slightly smaller than the one in v040, and its about 40% smaller on the file size as well.
Edit 2: and it works even better than gllts on lighter backgrounds (whew!). I'm going to go back and delete all the other attempts. I'm fully happy with this one.

The size is great at 480x, but I do like having a white background in the image to give it distinction as being a picture and not a window control.FirebrandX wrote:Edit 2: and it works even better than gllts on lighter backgrounds (whew!).

Well, I guess if we take the cord off it's good too, but I don't like not having a background and then having a cord get cutoff like that :/

I'm talking about compared to the one in v040. I believe it was 180kb.Jipcy wrote:Code: Select all

I'm not talking about any other image at all. I'm just uploading the same image, smaller size. So that the most optimized version of the image has a chance at being the one put into bsnes. To save as much space as possible.FirebrandX wrote:I'm talking about compared to the one in v040. I believe it was 180kb.

This may be blasphemy, but without the cord it looks like it should be wireless. How hard would it be to do a version without the hole for the cord? (so the top is an unbroken line)

Help -> Documentation ...
Modes of Operation
bsnes is capable of running both in its default multi-user mode, as well as in single-user mode.
In multi-user mode, configuration data is stored inside the user's home directory. On Windows, this is located at "%APPDATA%/.bsnes". On other operating systems, this is located at "~/.bsnes".
To enable single-user mode, create a blank "bsnes.cfg" file inside the same folder as the bsnes executable. bsnes will then use this file to store configuration data.

I think that the picture should not have a background... it'll look best in the windows that way. As for the cord... having a cord only looks weird right now because of the way it is currently cut off at the top. If you fade the cord out to transparent at the end (assuming this is possible) the cord won't have the cut off look to it, and will probably look sleeker anyway. What do you all think about this?
I bring the trouble.
Cut off cord looks fine to me, but fading it out sounds like a good idea if I'm in the minority.DancemasterGlenn wrote:I think that the picture should not have a background... it'll look best in the windows that way.

Bonus points for making it look like an actual cord that has been actually cut off? :D

Now that I have an actual controller in my hands to work from, there are going to be corrections and updates of course. Actually its very strange holding one in my hands after working with photos for so long. For one thing, it seems so tiny compared to the blown up photos I've been using!blackmyst wrote:Hey, so are you still going to redo the button reflections?
Anyway, back to the discussion on the cord:
I can fade the cord to transparent, though I'd need a general agreement from people that they would want this for the transparency version. Cutting the cord is also doable, but I'd want to see a cross section of a real cut snes cord so I can render the wire bundles accurately. Any takers? Seriously though, I'm not too keen on the idea of rendering a cut cord. We want things to look good, not butchered.

He did, but the old ones were better. The colors also seemed to have been made more pastel as well. I'd be curious to see the top version with the only difference being a white background and no dropshadows.blackmyst wrote:Hey, so are you still going to redo the button reflections?

...if you want it to look like the original SNES controller, why not use the color grabbing tool to grab each true color off the SNES controller pic then use as appropriate?
<Nach> so why don't the two of you get your own room and leave us alone with this stupidity of yours?
