Hi,

I cannot seem to find how to find icons (.png) that i can directly use as an image for a Tab Item in a Multipage page.

I am trying to create a simple info Iphone app where i use a Multipage item and a Tab Bar at the bottom.
I have downloaded icons from eg Glyphish, but when i load these icons they are too dark and too big.
When i use the sample icons used on page https://www.genuitec.com/mobile/docs/tabbedNavigation/tabbedNavigation.html it works but i cannot seem to find such icons for direct download.

can anybody help me ?

thank you, Olivier

Oliver,

Are you looking for a library of mobile icons to using in your UI design process, e.g., an alternative to glyphish?
If yes, there are other alternatives to consider with a quick google search. I was looking through 600+ library yesterday for an icon, e.g., I think it was pixel perfect or something like that…

Note, the media palette images are not yet integrated by the Designer to work with the Tab Bar widget. The alternative is to link directly to the image file you wish to use. Let me know if you would like to use a specific image from the media palette in your Tab Bar and I can dig in to find how to directly access the image files (they are embedded in the program).

Hi Oliver, try here you get 100 icons in 12 different colours, PNG, PSD, JPG and GIF formats

sorry, i find it difficult to explain what i mean.. i’ll try again

The normal tab bar in an iphone app is black with sort of gray icons that get a blue shine when the tab item is selected.
No matter what icon i use I don’t get this result with MobiOne. Except the sample icons that are downloadable from the above link from the genuitec site.
So my question is where can i find a source of free icons that are directly compatible with the format used on the tab bar in MobiOne ? Or do I have to edit all these icons and make them gray with transparent background and resize ?

Thank you, Olivier

thank you, great source ! but see my answer here above… problem stays the same… When i use the white coloured icons I get a very black surrounding on the tab item ? In white it does not work either…

The PSD files have a transparent background, use photoshop, drag and drop the icon to a new canvas 30×30 and save as PNG.
