I would think this has to be in a repo somewhere, but I have a local copy, anyway: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/485382/old_knob_3d.tar.bz2 Great how those won't die, as much as I wish they would, while all the stuff in http://thorwil.wordpress.com/?s=knobs didn't go anywhere. The main issue for me is that they always appear alien in GTK windows. Then the design is not strong enough to warrant creating a whole matching theme. They are not scalable. Creating such a series for a knob animation with Inkscape is not exactly trivial, if you want consistent lighting and a physical feel. For optimal, scalable results, the drawing should be coded, as otherwise you get issues with lines that should stay 1px wide and might be neighbors in some cases. With knobs, you still have a problem with putting them into a layout with labels. I think much could be gained with sliders with integrated labels: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/485382/sliders.png -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/
