Title: GPS data icon - possible to change?
Post by: Carlo Didier on May 08, 2024, 11:15:47 PM
Is it possible to replace the new icon displayed for files with GPS data? It's so "flashy" that it's really distracting  :)
The old one was much more discreet.

That was my first though, too.

I've made it stand out more after the initial presentation discussions (see this board a couple of weeks back) where users told me that it was not easily to identify.

The new icon is easy to see on light, dark and very colorful/noise backgrounds:

and also when the icons are scaled to their minimum size:

I've tried a darker green and two blues, but the current version works best across the board. For me.
Any suggestions?

This is how the original vector looks:

I believe I was one of those who commented about the revised GPS icon. Seeing it now in practice, I have to agree with Carlo and Mastodon that the icon color is pretty jarring (almost florescent). I prefer a color scheme similar to the 'traditional' icon (no issue w/ the icon itself). See screenshots.

I've switched to a darker green. Should work just fine:

How can I do that? I can't find a setting for it in iMatch.

I switched to a darker green in the vector graphic that is converted to SVG and shipped with the next IMatch release ;)

If you want to try it right now, download the attached ZIP and extract the contained SVG file into

C:\ProgramData\photools.com\IMatch6\resources\vectors

on your computer, replacing the existing file with the same name.
