Form editor

Hello,

Is there any Form editor (bitmap form) that one could use in Pharo?

Example of use would be to edit forms that are making up the icons.

e.g. UIThemeWatery>>checkboxSelectedForm

Exporting icons and importing them back is quite time consuming.

How are you guys dealing with that?

TIA

Phil

Hi Phil,

I mostly just use Gimp, but that is not a very efficient and effective solution.
Most icons, especially those in flat styles, should be rendered/generated
from a vector format instead of from a bitmap. They should be programmed,
to be themable. Fontographer is actually a much better tool for the kind
of icons found in bootstrap like styles

To be ready to catch up on Athens when it will be default rendering
engine, you may want have source icon as svg and exported as png with
Inkscape.
I use this set up for iStoa clipart, oversampled as bitmap for a Nexus 5
screen display resolution, then downscaled at load time to the used
display resolution.
