Icon Builder



Icon Builder allows anyone to build sets of correctly named icons, using their own icons if they wish. When it first opens, it will attempt to create a folder (make sure this app is placed somewhere with write permissions!) called moi_icons.

There is nothing to do, as there are no files yet in THAT folder. So, download the base files:
https://altuit.cloud/web/dbpub/MoIGUIdownloads/BaseIcons.zip
Unzip them and put them in the folder.

The anatomy of a base file:
  • It's a 64px x 64px transparent PNG.
  • It only has 1 color (black or whatever you like. It can be changed in Icon Builder.
  • It's name is EXACTLY the same as the icon it will be replacing.


The interface:
  1. Button to launch the Icon Builder window
  2. The Backdrop button sets the background of the Icon Builder window
  3. The icons in the folder will be shown one at a time. You can press PREV and NEXT to step through them. If you add new icons to the folder, just close and open the Icon Builder window to refresh the list of icons.
  4. You can set the color of the icon AND the hilite glow color around the icon. You only need to set this once. Not necessary for each icon as when you SAVE it will apply the current color and hilite settings to all icons.
  5. When you are satisfied with the color scheme, you can press the Save Icons button and choose a folder to save the icons in.


You will need to know the correct location for where to put the newly rendered icons. For the icon in BaseIcons.zip, you should put the newly created icons in the moi/ui/icons folder.

If you create new base icons, please share links to them in this thread!
