Good thumb up/down icons - web

I can't find any free thumb icons for voting like the ones here http://www.99points.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/youtube.jpg. Everything I find is too colored or detailed. Does anyone know a good website where I would find such icons or an icon set?

Chances are www.99points.info bought or found the icons as well. Very unlikely they developed an in house proprietary set. You might consider contacting them to find out where to get similar icons.

why don't you just make a screenshot copy/paste and save as png?
UPDATE: you can find a lot of good icons using http://www.iconfinder.com

Here is the original image..
That's the youtube one at least. The one you want.

Drawable icons for app

Recently, I've been working for some theming project for Android launchers. I need some guidance and advice from the people around here that could help me with this.
I have created one sample icon for Opera mobile with the size of 192x192. The question is, if I made that icon size as mentioned, should I create another size for it, e.g. 128x128? I'm a bit confused.
Thanks.
I am not sure if understand your question. If you add a drawable resource to Android Studio, it automatically resizes it to multiple sizes. If you have created one, that will be resized automatically.
Hope this helps.
If you want to design icons for android, you better design some for different resolutions. You have to make an icon for each. See at this article https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#overview. There are the different densities and the multiplication factors.

Full screen responsive horizontal website

I am trying to find the best method in order to create a horizontal website, full screen and if possible responsive, minimum width to be for tablets. The thing is that I need also the horizontal scrolling with the mousewheel, and I saw that fullPage.js doesn't support that or at least i couldn't manage to make it work on this plugin.
Anyway, I need an idea on building the template, with full screen sections displayed inline - I will be very grateful for any tip. Thanks.
Making horizontally responsive is bit tricky and requires a lot of effort.. There can be many many design approaches for making it responsive. It can't just be described with JSFiddle snippets..
However, I have something for you that will definitely get you started with "Horizontal Responsive Layout designing"..
This is must guide / tutorial for people who want to get started with Horizontal Responsive approach
http://tympanus.net/codrops/2012/04/02/responsive-horizontal-layout/
you could use one of the tools listed in the following links
http://www.cssdesignawards.com/articles/15-excellent-jquery-plugins-to-spice-up-your-sites/44/
http://jquery-plugins.net/scrollit-js-jquery-plugin-for-scrolling-pages
or you could also mix raw js/jquery with anchor links and add animations when clicked. in taht case you can scroll down using mouse wheel and also have fancy animations when a link is clicked
regarding responsiveness use css media queries

Android - Set Default Spinner Themes

I'm new to Android development.
I'm using drag and drop to pull down a default spinner onto my layout.
However, the default is not the one I see everyone using with the triangle on the bottom right.
An example of what I see is:

Whereas what I'm looking to achieve is this:

Is it a styling issue?
Apologies for ripping off other people's images, I don't have enough rep for uploading my own images.
Thanks so much!
I've Solved my issue by setting the Theme of the application/activity to Holo.Light. Hope this helps other people in the process.

Is there a magnifying ruler to measure pixels?

I have been looking for this for a while:
There are a ton of ruler extensions for all the common browsers but I can't find one that has a magnifying glass. Can anyone help me out please?
I'm talking about a magnifying glass like the Awesome Color Picker extension in Chrome:
The ruler extensions I've used really hurt my eyes when trying to measure anything to pixel precision.
Any browser is fine with me.
Note #1: This is not about seeing the width of elements through 'inspect element'. I need to find the precise number of pixels between any two points on a web page.
Note #2: Zooming in the browser doesn't do it either because some of the pixels change when I zoom.
Thanks in advance!
I am not sure if this is what you were looking for, but it might be worth checking out. It has zooming in on pixels, up to 3200%.

It's a FireFox add-on. I am not affiliated with the add-on at all.
Check out xScope from IconFactory. http://xscopeapp.com I use it all the time for development layouts. It's got several tools, including rulers, guides, a tool for dynamically measuring elements, and a loupe for viewing an enlarged part of your layouts. It's not a browser plugin, but I find that this makes it actually MORE useful.

DotNetNuke using PNG images with Transparency

I have a DotNetNuke site where my main logo is a PNG file using transparency. I tried GIF but the quality wasn't good enough.
Anyways it worked great on IE7 but I just saw my site in IE6 and noticed that the transparency isn't working with my logo.
Does anyone know of a quick way to fix this in a DotNetNuke portal?
I don't know that it's a DotNetNuke issue as much as it is IE6. Anyways, here's a site that shows you how to work around IE6's png issues. Hope it helps.
http://24ways.org/2007/supersleight-transparent-png-in-ie6
For a DotNetNuke-specific way to fix the issue, you can install the DotNetNuke Widget Suite, and use the IE PNG Fix widget on your site (probably include it in your skin).
That said, if you're going to need to integrate something into your skin anyway, the widget doesn't give you a whole lot of advantage. If you're able to evaluate and integrate the techniques in the accepted answer, that's probably a better route to take.
IE6 doesn't support transparent PNGs. It isn't a DotNetNuke issue. You could try looking into some JavaScript solutions that help with IE6.
Googling "pngfix" should find a lot of different techniques for enabling alpha transparency in IE6.
One common one is a HTC behaviour file.
You can't. IE6 only supports a specific, and visually ugly, version of PNG transparency. I believe its PNG-8.
You can use a conditional comment to handle IE6 differently:
<!--[if IE 6]>
background-image:crappy.gif
<![endif]-->
There are some discussions regarding this on dotnetnuke.com forums, but I had the wrong date criteria in my search so the reason I didn't see any responses previously and thought I would ask here.
I think I found what I am looking for from a dotnetnuke perspective its a module that you install on your page which fixes this problem automatically. But unfortunately you have to pay for it. (I won't post the link since I don't want people thinking I was am asking just to advertise for them.)
It has nothing to do with DotNetNuke, it's an IE6 thing. IE6 doesn't do very well with certain transparent PNG.
