Hi Burr...

I am not familiar with Photoshop.
If I can, maybe I will convert all the MoI grey icon to colorize icon.

Maybe someone that expert in Photoshop can do this for us... :) ?
It will very good to have MoI with colorize icon.
Make the UI more fresh ;).

I forgot the link from Grendel.
Burr, have you the link or would you like to upload your color icons here ?

Many Thanks !!!

Hi Anis,
Here they are, courtesy of Grendel!

Put them into the UI\Icons folder. You may want to backup the original Icons in case you dont like it.

Again, once the release is out, there will probably be some customization that others do offered up in the forum.

Well seems had it wrong! The kudos go to lyes!!!

Same Icons you received before Anis. Here's the link:

I hope to have colorize icon for all MoI UI.
Wish user can contribute for this project.

Hi Pilou...

Thanks for the link.
Maybe we can also use software like Inskape or Gimp.
The problem is not on the appication that I have to use, but I dont know on how to use Photoshop to convert from GREY Icon to COLOR Icon.

It will be vey good if Iyes can give us tutorial on how to convert from Grey to Color Icon.
Then later I can convert another Icon by my self or maybe another MoI user can help :)

Thanks !

In Sumo Paint that is Menu Adjustments / Color Balance ;)

The thing to rememeber is it's not an "ICON" but a simple image in PNG format. Most photo software applications have an adjustment operation that will do something basic like this. You will just need the abilty to save it out as a PNG again.

Look for "color Adjustment" or "HUE" or something like that. Even the simple software that comes with todays digital cameras usually have the abilty to "Adjust" the image.

@ Pilou & Burr...

Thanks for your guide on how to edit MoI png to be more colorful.
I will create a new thread for collection of MoI Color UI.

Thanks ! :)

Sumo Paint has the PNG and then also the transparency for it ;)

Hi Anis, WHat you need to look for when you re-save your image is to set the "
Transparency color". WHen you do the save with PNG, there should be an option to set this, then use a color picker to set the background as transparent.

FYI.

Hi Anis,

> A little problem when change the color of Offset.

It looks like it's got a solid white color for the background rather than a transparent background.

Like Burr mentions, the background needs to be maintained as transparent for it to look like the regular icons.

Hi Michael, I have I funny request, There are few icons are not include in the ui\icons folder. Will it be possible to have them also in there, in case someone like me wants to replace them? I know how to work around it but is a bit long to do every time with every Beta :(

---

Hi neo, no unfortunately I'm not able to put a few particular icons in the \ui folder because they are licensed from an icon collection and the license terms say that the icons must be baked in to the resources of the application.

For those ones you'll notice in the HTML where the buttons are defined, that the icon file name says res:// in it, that means to look up the icon from the compiled resources section of the program. You need to change those to point to your icon file when you want to replace those ones.

Hi Burr & Michael....

I already try looking for the transparent.
But sorry, still cant figure it.... :(

Thanks !

---

Anis, it will be in the dialogue when you are actually "Saving" the PNG. But perhaps the app your using doesnt have it?

So mine looks like this:



I would use the little eyedropper tool to select the background.

---

Hi Anis, well most of the time bitmap editors will indicate transparency by having a kind of checkered looking background like this:



The above is a screenshot taken from Paint Shop Pro after loading the OffsetIcon.png file, notice the gray and white checkered background? That means it is transparent.

If you have only a solid white background then you will get a solid white color in the button as well just like you are showing.

So somehow you are doing some incorrect steps that loses the transparency.

One thing to make sure is that you save as PNG format, not JPG - JPG files do not support any transparency in them so saving as JPG would be one easy way to lose transparency information.

You may want to check online for some tutorials on bitmap manipulation stuff, for example there seem to be several video tutorials for photoshop if you search on google or youtube for "photoshop colorize" or similar type things.

I did that, replacing them with my own custom icons But as I said is a bit long to do every time with every Beta :(

Perhaps you could consider designing some like the rest of them (I really like your style)
