Yeah I saw and it looks good. Here's another folder path that might be useful as well: Spiral Knights\rsrc\ui\icon\stats
It has the actual Defense-type Icons, as well as those for Attack (useful for weapons?).

Also... is it just me or is the Sleep icon different than the others?

Edit: Nevermind, I guess they don't have a "tip" icon for Sleep. :( -nudges Artists-

The problem I see with two different sections would be that there may eventually be Trinkets that give both Defense and an Ability (I don't believe such a thing exists yet). If you really wanted to, I guess you could just sort by Ability and it will filter all the ones without Abilities to the top/bottom.

The SKEmptyCell replaces the totally empty SKCells here (to the left of Shock/Sleep/Curse), for example, and renders the Info box to look like this instead.

As for the unneeded boxes, I'm guessing you're referring to the stats that would be 0? The reason for keeping them is that, well, we have to. Otherwise we'd need a separate template for every Trinket basically, each one removing a unique combination of fields. I've actually tried to make the zero-stat more clear (as you seem to be suggesting by totally getting rid of those fields) by leaving those cells that would normally be 0 as totally blank (like this), as compared to this, for example. I figure this makes more sense because on the actual item (in-game) there isn't a bar with nothing filled in, there's just no bar to begin with. Also, it seems like it's a lot easier to read then a bunch of zeros, in my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback! I too am hoping we will be able to add a recipe section someday, to make our cookbooks more complete.

Edit:

@Dogrock:
While reading another thread, I came across this:

Currently instead of cutting the icon out of a screenshot I recolour the base icon using the colour selector tool in GIMP. Then I scale it down to the desired size. It seems to create smoother edges and I can do it a lot faster than circle cuts and adding whitespace transparency. The icons in the resources folder are 8-bit colour, so the game must be putting a filter over them (or recolouring them somehow) to get the desired effect.

Well that's exactly what we just discussed haha, what a coincidence. I'm going to try that soon, and possibly update some of the "edgey" ones to this larger-scale standard, if people don't mind?

@Shango: Yeah, because most Trinkets only have 1 or 2 things overall. But then again, isn't this how it is for most other Equips as well (up to 4 or 5 if you go on to the higher shields)? The only reason I did it the way I did was to keep it consistent, as well as the fact I'm inexperienced.
