Description (last modified by Josh)

With #822 completed, remove the old idle units button, and put this one into the lower right of the minimap edges.

​http://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/art/textures/ui/session/icons/single/minimap-idle.png?rev=9264

Will probably require either triangular click boundaries, or click z-indexes

I dont't like that new idle worker button because:

1) it has no border and no hover effect like all the other buttons have
2) not rectangular buttons are currently not supported and for my feeling the approximation is too vague because it does not spawn the whole area
3) because of 2 it's not compatible to #2357

In #2357 I attached an alternative suggestion for the button. To test it, you need idle_worker_blink_v11.patch, idleWorker.png and idleWorkerActive.png. (the last two files must be copied to binaries\data\mods\public\art\textures\ui\session\icons)

We just need new icons then #1 is easy. #2 is simply that the limit as accuracy goes to infinity, code quality goes to negative infinity. #3 should be fixable with another overlay sprite.

I'll try a stab at fixing #1 today.

Ok, when you are done I'll try to fix 3) using a sprite.

PS: There are 3 more icons for the minimap in trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/art/textures/ui/session/icons/single?rev=9422

In #2414 I made some attempt to fix 1) and 2).
