heres some ss of the different categories.

flickr, picasa, cnn and youtube. these are plugins i wrote for boxee. boxee no longer uses them so they said i could release them. i would like to have the categories have their own thumbnail, but not only don't i know how to design, i don't know what would describe each ategory.

the few thumbs you see are boxees so they can't be used. but something plain like that would be great. so any takers?

no responses in skin development, so i'll ask here.

if anybody wants to contribute and can't with python code, here's a chance.

Do they need to be originals?

Finding some icons and getting permission may be easier than finding someone to make them.

no, they don't have to be originals.

i tried searching for thumbs, but how do you search for most recent? and what thumb represents that?

i don't have an eye for this sort of thing.

I'd love to help man but I'm not so good at graphics stuff.

I tried searching for some free to use icons, but you're right, finding icons to represent 'search groups' vs 'my groups' etc etc is hard.

The best I could find for such a thing were "web icons" like little magnifying glasses people put on their website, but they would all be too small resolution to be useful.

That would be great.

the images above are the categories. i can send you the plugins so you can test as you go.

i'll make a list with the category names. they might be slightly different than the titles. if you would pm me your email i'll get those to you.

thanks
