[solved] custom icon in menubar became pale

[klownboy]

My eyesight isn't what it used to be. With a large icon toolbar (24x24) I can't tell.

Quality and speed are quite similar. I personally like PNG better because it's newer. (I'm a simple man.)

@lian00: If you are interested, I modified the icons so they won't be faded.

It’s very nice from you. Thanks a lot. Is there a tutorial for this ? There are 35 icons in the original pack and I could fix this - if it’s not too complicated.

I don't know if there is tutorial somewhere, you'd have to search, all you need to do is remove the bit depths that you don't want, I used paint.net because that is what I have already installed, but an app that specializes in icons would probably make it easier.

E.g. Axialis IconWorkshop (payware!)

Or with freeware tools (scriptable via XY^^):
https://sourceforge.net/projects/unix-u ... 32.tar.xz/

They can extract all icons as .png and recreate an .ico with the .pngs that you want...

Maybe the simpliest thing to do is to convert them into one png. It will be enough for my usage.

You could do that with just XY if you wanted, here is a script if it helps, it will create a png of selected items, the output png's will go into the same folder.

Code: Select all

foreach($f, <selitems |>) { savethumb($f,, "100%",, "png",,, -1); }

I did not imagine I could convert image files in XY ? I will use XnViewMP I think. Thanks for the tip.

2) Your whole shot looks somewhat pale. Why?

Found the reason. The extra large icons were too pale. Fixed in next beta.
