    Hi,

    I wrote a bootscreen manager last weekend in a few hours, to tell you the truth was more like a joke/fun app, but seems there's a lot of users interested.

    The current UI is very simple and basic, but some users are having troubles understanding it, yes I can do a better job, but I need some designers help, because I'm zero at graphics

    Here is the current app aspect:





    What I need, apart from your suggestions:

    - App icon;
    - Small icon for each item in the list, representation a video file;
    - Something like a check icon, similar to the green check in the Internet connection manager when you're connected to a network

    I can make you icons for app if you want. I will make small icons for both of my videos (26x26?). Check out this:

    VDVsx is it possible to re-use icons from the OS? For example where you mention the green check used in the connection manager can this be found and used? The un-compiled source for these things should be available?

    I meant a generic icon for the video files, not a different one for each video. Perhaps video thumbnails can be used, but that's out of scope at least for now.

    Make them a bit bigger than 26x26 (or use SVG), that way I can resize and play with them

    Yes, should be, I searched a bit, but cannot find that icon, if someone knows where it is, I appreciate

    That's exactly what I've in mind, but of course I'm open to more suggestions from the UX experts

    I like that one above here with the standard media symbol.

    I did a simpler one here just before I saw that post.

    Added som gloss and changed color.
