Hi, I'm glad to disappoint with you, bur this module is still alive :)
I didn't make any new release because all edits are in adding new icons for other modules (you can check latest CVS messages) and not into new functionality.

I'm also glad to know about new code and ideas for this module. You can open issues in this project queue and post your patch/code/requests there..

I'm still looking for some good icon designers for adding/re-factoring old ones..
Regards

Title:Request to help support module development» Idea for easy expansion.

I'm sorry :P I tried the links around the net to your blog and they came up not found. I assumed, my bad. Anyway, the kinds of changes I'm thinking of are really more than just patches. I can try and post some code if you are interested in looking at it, but really I was thinking of branching out of the flat css mostly. I could create a template php file to be used as the css so you don't have the long hard coded styles for the icons. Instead you would have a naming structure for storing the icons that is used to generate all the css. I may need to go read up on how to hook the filesystem and get an array of files in directories, but I'm sure it can't be hard. Good to see that someone is still on this. Changed the title...

I love your idea on CSS, I thought about a CSS caching/generation some time ago (there is an issue about that in module's queue)... but until now, I didn't find time to write down any code. If you'll post any patch it's ok, I'll review and commit into 2.x branch.
Let me know!

Regards

I just got my cvs access today for another module i'm working on so hopefully i can generate a patch file. unless you are aware of a patch maker for windows xp. i'm sure i just don't know the right search terms to use.

If you use TortoiseCVS (for Windows) you can easily create patches and update/commit your projects.
Hope to ear good news soon! :)

Bye!
