Topic: modify Icons ??

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

what skin .bmp file do i need to modify to change det icon used to display, music, karaoke & video in the broswer, since the icons I've made in my skin don't change to the ones i've made in my .bmp file ??

I'm using Home Vers. 7 to try out the skin, it's going to a friend that has vers. 7 pro, but there should be any difference in the skin files on those two vers. or is there ??

Icons is part of the bmp file. You can place them anywhere inside that file. But you also have to add a certain line in xml file.

<browser>
...
..
..
..
<customicons x="x1" y="y1"/>
</browser>


where x1,y1 are the coordinates of the top left corner of the icons.

The Icons should be 128X128 pixels total , and each icon should be 16X16.



In case someone needs to build some icons from scratch, the inside color which helps transparency is RGB, 140,98,57

The size of the icons is always the same regardless of the skin resolution and size.

Actually the transparency comes from the color of the upper left pixel of the icons block. In other words you can use ANY color for your background and as a transparency color.

I thought I should clear this out because even if you keep RGB 140,98,57 as background but the first pixel (upper left corner) is white, then WHITE will become the new transparency color!
 

I think i tried black once and it didnt work. I will try again. Thanks for the infos.
 

Check out GHOST Lite... ;)
 

I noticed you have created custombuttons as well. Can you please share with us any infos about them ? Dimensions mainly.
 

For Custom Buttons I would suggest to open a default VDJ skin and copy the graphics out... They are a little tricky, but you shouldn't have any issues with them.

Their main "issue" is that there's no "grid" where the elements go like custom icons... I will check my original PSD files tomorrow and I will come back with more infos
 

If I want to make a skin from scratch what's the first step?
 

 

Is there a specific order that the custom icons need to be in? I do not see any line of code in the xml that calls out what each custom icon is used for.

thanks,
 

 

THANK YOU!
