If anyone out there is good with small bitmap graphics and is willing to donate their efforts I have a challenge.

Create a 21 by 20 image for the editor that can be used as a button to add C++ to the tag list.

If you look at the current choices there are two types. The ones for [code] and [html] and the one for [php] that are currently used.

Of the two, I personally prefer the first types since the php one is harder to read. A PNG with transparency seems to work best. Since I am terrible at this type of graphic perhaps someone here would like to provide one for GIDForums™ that could be used?

I don't know if we can convice Admin to add it, but if we at least have something to offer maybe it would help the argument. Such a thing would have to be offered freely to GID for use but you would get credit (right here in this very thread) for being such a clever artist.

Thank you Blake. This seems deceptively simple. I do appreciate it.

If it isn't too much trouble, would you care to provide something similar for any other tags you would find useful.

I think we should be able to see this used in the editor. All others should bow before you.

No prob. Here's a new one for php that matches:



Is there anything else that you had in mind?

I would recommend this one. Some of the newbies around here could use it.

I don't care who you are that there is just funny.

I was thinking more along the lines of the other tags we use here.

[css][py][csharp]

I wouldn't mind seeing a [noparse] tag. Maybe a parse with a slash through it.

I wouldn't count of all making it to the editor unless we set up a "bin" like the smilies have.

Any other Members (or Admins) feel free to chime in.

I think its going to be impossible to fit the word parse on an image that small without making it illegible.

Ok then, how about something like a no parking sign. The P with a red circle slash thing.

You have been most helpful. Thank you very much. Keep an eye out in the editor bar for the new graphic.

No prob. How about this?

Thanks to you both, we have implemented the CPP (C++) button to the forms today.

I will wait a day or 2, before inserting the others.

Thank you again, guys!
