    I like the offensive and defensive images. I was thinking that it might be better to have a ring and/or amulet icon for the Item Calculator. That way it isn't confused with being both offensive and defensive. I am in no way an artist, unfortunately, so I won't attempt to make something.

    Thanks for working on this. I'm looking forward to testing it out!

    I'll fix that... Just did a quick image edit and I guess I need to widen the selection threshold for the color to change to an alpha channel.

    EDIT:
    OK, because no one had any input on color or has suitable replacements for the icons at this time, I'll continue on with the dark red. I will keep accept input... after all, it only takes me about 2-3 min to change the color, recompile, and screenshot it to post here.

    One difference... silverseas, I cleaned that icon up for you... does it look better now?

    I haven't forgotten about the app. I was busy for a week and a half working on the shield post and it's fall out, but I'll be back to working on the app this week.

    No offence Arr, but I'm not to keen on the bright red and white... my personal preferences always tend towards darker colors, but I'll keep some of the icons in mind if no one else has some good recommendations.

    You can use orange-ish color instead of white.

    I was thinking the item icon should be something dissimilar from the other icons. What about something like this:

    i took the icon from game-icons

    about the design, you have to know that the app is not for you only so it should be what people like instead of what you like
    red was just a random color

    Except that it is for me; I'm just making it available for everyone else. If I don't like it to begin with, then it won't make it through to the finished product.

    Except that I don't think that the developers make the game for themselves. I'm not so sure that the developers actually play the game for fun or like normal players... otherwise they wouldn't do half the stupid stuff they do.:p

    A bit roughly done, but how about something like this?

    Also thanks DrHorrible for this wonderful idea and putting in the effort for us!

    I'm sorry to report again that the app will be taking a backseat again for a short while while I build another one of my monster Excel Sheets and build a post around it. This time I'll be looking at DPS, particularly in a 2h build, but I will also add functionality for 1h players to use it too. It will be even more complicated than the shield post as I'll attempt to account for speed, damage, %weapon damage, crit, %crit damage, multiple endgame sets, even %damage torsos, and gems.

    The purpose behind this is related to the upcoming crafting 2.0. I've started saving items with really nice stat lines, and now I'm wondering what the best combination of those stats will be. (Some of the lines that I have saved are a 113 damage line, a 111 damage line, a 79.16% damage, still looking for a good crit line of 1600+.)

    No. He is doing for his use and will LET us, other player, use it. If you don't like it don't use it or make your own.

    Hope you'll have some free time to finish app soon DrH
    I appreciate your hard work and free time that you spend to help us all

    Like I said already, I am doing it a little for others... If it was just for me, it wouldn't have any graphics, just text... Light weight and functional. But at the same time, if I'm making a GUI, I have to like the colors and feel and I've never liked bright colored apps. I prefer the dark ones.

    I've made the spreadsheet. Here is the link to the thread. Make sure to keep checking back in from time to time as I update the thread over the next couple of days. I hope it helps you and helps you all understand the delay with this project.
