Forum update and submissions
I've been working on an icon font for the last few days for the forum UI. First, SVG icons put in an icon font look better on smaller size (a icon from a icon font set at 16px will look way better than a 16x16 image). Secondly, you can change the color of an icon from an icon font with CSS or add moving/shaping effects or shadow on the shape itself.
I'm gonna make the font available for users too, meaning you'll be able to put icons in post with BB code, something like [icon]arrow[/icon] or [icon]&F000[/icon] where &F000 is the unicode mapping. Changing icon size and color in post will be abvailable as it is for existing text right now. (example: [size=large][color=#FF0000][icon]arrow[/icon][/color][/size]
Here's a preview of the icon font. There's some boring stuff like folders and envelopes I need for the forum UI and the selection is only from 1 site I found so far so there's going to be more characters added, but since I could spend one week looking for icons, I decided to stop for now since I had the minimum I needed. The character mapping will also change. If you have any suggestion, you can post a link of the icons you wanna see added (SVG format):
