Actually it is a bit more complex. The first two are mode selector buttons (kinda like radio buttons). Then we have one or two composite toggle buttons (depending on the subview type), then a push button and finally another mode button, which will add one or more additional buttons of varying types below it (depending on which mode is selected).
I want to keep it that way, because the varying buttons would be confusing if they were to appear in the middle of the toolbar.

Using the insensitive state seems to work well enough.

I am not sure where the 14px came from. I don't think we use any of these. The toolbar button icons are 48x48 and the record type/resources type icons are 32x32 (using 48x48 placeholder icons there isn't a problem).

Oooh! You might want to add a separator before that last static button, in that case. Or even an "Editing:" label.

Cool! So here are three icon variants for your consideration. I don't like the icon from my demo above anymore
It'd be best if you could try them in-place with my previous icon visible. I've tested it on mockups of the default state of that icon only.
Please let me know which one you prefer and why, as I am temporarily unable to judge them after staring them for so long. Also, please let me know if there are any issues with the preferred version and I'll do my best to fix them.

The icon right above the "play" in your screenshot... I've just figured out that that's the button you're replacing with my composite icon, so you won't need a placeholder there indeed

Not only there, but also between the other button groups:
- Lighting-mode, camera-mode
- Visibility-buttons
- Run
- Editing mode and sub-tools
Not necessarily a separator and certainly not a label, but at least some kind of visual separation (additional space maybe). We'll polish the toolbar when it is finished.

Okay, will get to it in a bit.

There:

Thanks!

So here's the latest iteration:
I tried to make it not look too desaturated next to the view toggle icon while also not attracting too much attention, and make it readable but not too high-contrast in the insensitive state.

Please let me know if there are any other issues with this icon. If not, I'm proposing it for merging.

Looks good to me.

And then we have the edit mode buttons: Reference/object editing mode, pathgrid editing mode, terrain shape editing mode, terrain texture editing mode, terrain vertex paint editing mode and terrain movement mode.

It seems it's too early to tackle either of those, so drop me a line at [email protected] when you need them. I hope I'll still be available at the time.

Okay. Looks like the toolbar icons are done for now. Maybe we should focus on the missing record type and resource type icons. Been a while since I looked at that and I can't say what is missing off the top of my head. I will look it up and make you a list.

Turns out that we have most of the icons already. They were just not in use. What we are still missing are the resources icons and some misc stuff.

Here is my list:

- Mesh
- Icon
- Music
- Sound File
- Texture
- Video
- Debug Profile


The existing icons all seem to be 32x32. You can see some of them in the referenceables tables (may require switching on the use of icons in the user settings first).

Finally figured out why the visibility button was causing me trouble. There was a bug on my end, but the numbering of the status icons seems also wrong. Some mixup with terrain, pathgrid and possibly fog. If necessary I can go over it manually re-order the files, but since you mentioned you were doing it via a script maybe you could have another look at that first.
