Excellent custom icon editor

Hello All,
Just thought I would share this little tool with the rest of the forum. It is a custom icon editor with a load of nifty features such as dragging template icons in and also storing pre-set icon layouts. I can't really describe it properly, its best experienced!
It lives here, download and run the install VI (the whole tool is in G), then to use it just double click on the icon like you would normally do to edit it.
There are a couple of things it can't do yet, but to work around this just press CTRL-. to abort the VI and then the normal icon editor will appear!
Neil
ps: Sorry if this is old news to some people, but I only discovered it recently and figured it may be helpful to others.

Great, I managed to download it fine. Thanks.
I followed your (careful) installation instructions, after losing my templates last time, and am pleased to say it all works as promised
Although I didnt need to back up the ini file as your installer doesnt copy over that directory.
I like the additional icons.
Another feature request! (Tell me when you get sick of them.) It would be great to be able to use the cursor keys to move the Text around when using that tool (like in the NI icon editor), moving it one pixel at a time is very handy, as usually I dont put it exactly where I want to when I place the first character.
Again, thanks on this excellent tool! I hope your manager at NI knows how good it is

  • Custom icon editor BUG

    If you use a custom Icon editor (as shown here and here), and you want to create a smaller Icon this will be meaningless.
    Because the lv_icon interface only allows you to generate the 2-colour and 256 colour icon. The 16 colour icon will be untouched so the total size of the icon will still be 32x32 pixels.
    I consider this a serious bug in the lv_icon customization scheme.

    The following script uses a handler that will set a custom icon to a file item. In this example, you are prompted for the icon file and the file item to set to the icon, but you can just pass the desired image and folder paths directly to the handler.

  • LabVIEW 2010 icon editor -- why is white not white

    OK, so I'm creating an Icon in LV 2010.
    I want a white background. 
    So I choose the white color in the palette.  But that doesn't quite look like white (a little darker than white).
    so I go get a custom color, and set it to 255/255/255 (R/G/B).  add it to my custom colors.  hover over it quickly with the mouse and see that it is actually 255/255/255.
    Then I go back to the actually icon editing, and make sure my color selection (foreground/background) is both WHITE (255/255/255).
    I draw a box.
    The box isn't white!!!
    the box is drawn with colors 246/246/246 (R/G/B) not 255/255/255!
    Go create another custom color of 255/255/254.
    Draw the box again.
    Box looks white, but it is actually 255/255/254 (what you would expect to get).  Close enough for me to use, so I can get on with making my icons, but I just need to remember to not try to actually set the color to 255/255/255 -- actually use something ever so slightly different. 
    Best I can figure out -- if you hover over a transparent section, you see the color go to 255/255/255, so LV must be using 255/255/255 as transparent.  But then it says that color is 255/255/255, and it's not, it's transparent.  So the color should be shown as T/T/T so I don't need to know the special magical decoder of 255/255/255 = transparent to see if one single pixel is transparent color or not.
    End of rambling and venting, and on to the real question:
    What's special about taking 255/255/255 white and converting it to 246/246/246 instead of something closer like 254/254/254?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The Icon Editor thinks it is doing you a favor, and it probably really is given the (perhaps outdated) method LV uses for transparency on the BD.  By design, any "white" on the outside of a BD object (ie. icon) is considered transparent and not part of the object as far as clicking is concerned.  I have also discovered the hard way that "white" means any pure grey (R=G=B) with R,G,B > 246.  Tweaking the B value is one way to avoid this (as you have discovered).
    You can get some very interesting effects when LV thinks your entire subVI is transparent.

  • Custom icon lost from dock when clicked.

    Hello.
    I'm currently running OS 10.6.1 on 15" MBP w/ 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM. I experienced this same issue in Leopard, but was hoping Snow Leopard would fix it. I thought it did, but it just happened again.
    I keep several documents in the dock that I use very frequently (three MS Excel workbooks, 1 FM Pro database). For some reason, when I click on any of the Excel docs, the custom icon I have assigned to it is lost. Even when I reveal in Finder, the icon has just been removed, and the standard Excel icon shows.
    The funny thing is that the custom icons, when replaced, seem to last for several clicks, then for some reason, they just go away when the doc is clicked.
    Has anyone experienced this issue? Any help would be awesome.

    Hi eye sean,
    The program icons on your Dock (App Store, System Preferences) are alias links (shortcuts) and not the programs themselves. You can't delete them by removing them from the Dock. Now, if somehow they were accidentally removed from the /Applications folder then that's a bigger issue. I take it neither of the programs or in that folder?
    If that's the case there's two things I'm aware of worth trying:
    Run a repair Disk Permissions from the installation disc that came with your computer
    Reinstall the Operating System via the installation disc
    If System Preferences (the application) is completely gone, then it's option #2. If it's corrupted the disk permissions may resolved it. I'd say you could make a new user to see if a preference pane that's specific to your current user is causing problems, but without System Preferences access that's not really a valid option.

  • Custom Icon for application file

    I can make director allow me to have a custom icon for appliacation file.
    In director I have attempted this several times where I have tried to have my appliaction file have an icon.  I have purchased two icon program Candy Bar and Fastincs trying to remedy this problem.
    As you see here I am using an ins file created in Fastincs.  Now here is an image to the path and the icon itself Applipcations/ Adobe Director 11/3 HorseLogo.mac.ins
    So there is the setup now when I complile for my program file I get this.
    See the grey Director icon I don't want that I want the three horse logo.
    I also tried to assign the logo after publishing the file.
    then I drag my icon file in
    The program created in director still wont see the icon file.
    If I use Candy bar (icon application)  I get a  different result. The icon works
    in both finder and on the task bar
    This is exactly what I want.
    I works until I try to move the entire package into an installer program  I am using BitRock.  When I compile the installation program then try to run the application I get the following message
    If I choose ignore the install continues.  But I have no icon.
    I am desperate , weeping , screaming , and almost a lost cause, any help any help at all I could really use.
    Thanks
    Robin aka innish

    Hi Robin,
    I'm more of a PC person rather than Mac. I would recommend you look at the Resource and Icon Editor page at:
    http://collab.directorforum.com/Resource_and_Icon_Editor
    It may fix your icon issue from Director.

  • Applying custom icons to all files of a type

    I used to use ResEdit back int he day - and have used various tools on Mac and Windows to change icons. BUt I am stuggling with a default custom icon option for Mac OS X.
    I have a set of farily simply icons for use with a number of file types that I use a lot - csv, psl, pti, tp3, xml, cfr, and others and I would like to always have newly created files get the custom icon.
    Ideally this would be based on the extension - and they are not all from the same app.
    I am not afraid to use the terminal or edit package contents. Although some of them are windows apps - and I already have a custom set in the virtual machine.
    Some of the solutions I have seen out there such as Candy Bar seem to be only for application and folder settings.
    In a couple cases - such as the .cfr and .pti - the apps do not have an open method where you can double click on the file and have it open - so I woudl be okay with something like reprogramming TextEdit to have the necessary icons and plist updates. Although when I tried to edit the plist file in TextEdit - all I did was render TextEdit unusable.
    any help in the right direction will be appreaciated - I find it very helpful when I create 30 to 40 files ( a group of 5 differnet file types for each option ) to have icons that help me determine which ones I need to run a macro against - and which to send the customer - and which to upload to the vendor - etc.
    Also missing the colorful icons in the sidebar and iTunes - as well an Unsanity Haxies - guess what audio feedback does make me more productive or at the very least more certain that the system is behaving as I expect.

    A new Cocoa-AppleScript application can be created from the AppleScript Editor > File > New from Template > Cocoa-AppleScript Applet menu item, pasting in the following script:
    -- set icon

            setPrompt_("Choose") -- the button name
            setDirectoryURL_(current application's NSURL's URLWithString_(POSIX path of (path to desktop)))
            setCanChooseFiles_(true)

        end repeat
        open theFiles
    end run
    on open theItems -- items dropped onto the application
        try -- get a path to the image to be used for the icon
            set imageFile to POSIX path of (choose file with prompt "Select an image file for the icon:" of type "public.image")
        on error -- cancel button
            tell me to quit
        end try
        set errorList to {} -- this will be a list of problem files, if any
        repeat with eachItem in theItems
            if not setIcon(imageFile, eachItem) then
                set end of errorList to (eachItem & return)
            end if
        end repeat
        if errorList is not {} then -- oops, show items where there was a problem
            display alert "Error setting icon." message "Icons of the following items were not set:" & return & return & errorList as text
        end if
        tell me to quit -- done
    end open
    to setIcon(imageFilePath, fileItemPath) -- set the icon of a file item
        set mySharedWorkspace to current application's NSWorkspace's sharedWorkspace()
        set myImage to current application's NSImage's alloc's initWithContentsOfFile_(imageFilePath)
        try
            return mySharedWorkspace's setIcon_forFile_options_(myImage, fileItemPath, 0) as boolean
        on error errorMessage
            return false
        end try
    end setIcon
    After saving, the resulting application can be double-clicked, or you can drop files onto it (the script can't be run from the script editor).  It can be tweaked further to include image files in the application bundle to select from (the icon images can be any image, not just icon files), or to be used in the Finder's toolbar, but for now the basic application should get you started.

  • Embedded Tab Custom Icon (Picture Problem)

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue getting my custom icon url picture to show up correctly. I resized using paint 20x20, even tried 19x19 and saved in png format. Jabber downloads the picture but it's tall and narrow. I can barely make out the picture. I read something about adding padding but have no clue what that means. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    something similar was discussed in the following link;
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11590996/icons-custom-embedded-tabs-jabber-windows
    look at the last reply where the following was mentioned;
    Any image editor can be used to create icon. Foe example use online editor pixlr (http://pixlr.com/editor/).
    Create 20x20 image for every state (Normal, Pressed, Hover e.t.c) of your icon.
    Create a new 200x20 image
    Add the different state images to this image as layers
    Save the image as .png
    i hope this helps.

  • Reversing jack-in-the-box icons that replace old excel file icons

    Today I noticed that Excel file icons on my desktop have been replaced with a jack-in-the-box icon. It looks like this:
      This seems to happen only to Excel files last modified prior to 1993 (although I have not checked all files to determine if this is always true). In the information panel (command-I) for the file, under "open with" it shows "microsoft excel (110725)" but with a "do-not-enter" symbol superposed. On the "open with:" pull down menu (still in the information panel) it also lists "microsoft excel 14.3.4" two times, along with "print preview" as possible choices.
    If I double click on the file, it opens normally (I looked long and hard to see if this symptom resembled any viruses before doing that). But it does not change the icon back to normal unless I resave it as an xlsx document. If on the information panel, I change the "open with" choice to microsoft excel 14.3.4 and add the .xls extension to the file name (still in the info panel), the icon changes to the normal Excel icon. It does not change the icon on the desktop unless I do both. Occasionally, it will change the icon on the information panel, but not change the icon on the desktop.
    In searching through the archives I found a discussion that suggests this icon is residual from the ResEdit program. I have no idea if that is relevant to my case (in the archive, it had to do with icons for Word documents).
    I would appreciate thoughts on why this may have suddenly occurred, and if there is a way to reverse it, short of going through each of hundreds of Excel files, opening the Information panel, and manually making the change.
    I did not recently update my OS or upgrade Office. I am running OS X v. 10.8.3 on a 17 inch MacBook Pro with 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7. The Excel version is 14.3.4 (130416). I have Sophos Anti-virus software running.
    Thank you.

    I am no help other than to say it happened to me as well, not on Excel files, but on 3 folders I had with custom icons. (from a Calvin and Hobbes collection). I have not idea where they came from, and oddly when I go back in time machine to versions of the folders that are a year old they have also been replaced with this icon.
    I believe it defies explanation. But I am so glad it has happened to someone else. There is no discernable change other than the odd icon.

  • LabVIEW 8.20 hangs after selecting a custom icon in the app builder

    I have been trying to build an executable that uses a custom icon file.  The multi-resolution icon has worked previously in LV7.1.  Whenever I select the custom icon in the build specifications, I can build the executable, but LabVIEW then hangs after that and I can only close it using the Task Manager.  All works fine until I change from the default LabVIEW icon.  And because LabVIEW hangs after selecting the icon, I cannot save the project with the new build specification.

    Hello,
    the thing is that even if I create the 256color icon after I save it and close icon editor it takes the 16color icon anyway. If I create an ico file that contains only one icon 32x32 256c Labview displayes warning (see warning.png) and uses default icon for 16c and nothing for black and white (see selected.png)
    So how to force Labview to use 256c icon

  • Creating a Custom SAPscript Editor

    I am trying to create a custom SAPscript editor and I'm having problems. We are on SAP 640.
    We use texts to store notes against invoices recording details of the dunning process. Our users have ask if we can tailor the notes so that users can insert new notes against an invoice but not update or delete old notes. I have tried to do this by creating a custom editor EDIT_TEXT_FORMAT_XXXXX where XXXXX is ZGTENO a text format that has been set up against text object BELEG. Unfortunately the new module is never called.
    For most text objects SAP picks up the text format  and moves it into the SAPscript header and this field in the SAPscript  header is used to call the custom editor. For example in program sapfv45t include FV45TFDB_TTXER_SELECT_CREDM   text format is in gt_tdtexttype or lv_tdtexttype  one of these fields is then moved into the SAPscript header field xthead-tdtexttype which is used in function group STXD function module EDIT_TEXT (the field is in chead-tdtextline) to decide whether to call the standard editor (function FULL_SCREEN_NEW) or a custom editor but for text object BELEG it gets the text format but never moves it to the SAPscript header (for example see program sapfv45t include FV45TFDB_TTXER_SELECT_BELEG it gets the text format in lv_tdtexttype but doesn't move it to xthead-tdtexttype so it can't be used to call a custom editor) so it looks as if a custom editor cannot be used with text object BELEG, is this correct or am I missing something?
    I can see my new text format ZGTENO being picked up in the debugger but because it isn't moved into the SAPscript header it doesn't call my function module, it always calls the standard editor.

  • How do I set up Premiere Elements 13 as the custom external editor for Lightroom 5?

    Situation
    I own Lightroom 5.6 and I'm experienced. I've just bought Premiere Elements 13 and I'm a video-editing virgin (be gentle with me). I've spent a day experimenting, reading, watching videos and I'm still stuck (I've tried reasonably hard to solve my own problem).
    Problem
    I've tried to set up the custom external editor in Lightroom 5 to send photos to Premiere Elements, so that I can incorporate images into movies. Having set it up, when I use it by selecting Photo/Edit In/Premiere Elements 13/, there is an exciting lull as a copy of the image is created and appears in LR, then Premiere Elements launches, then what??? There is no clue as to what has happened to the image regarding its import into Premiere Elements 13. It doesn't appear on the screen, it doesn't appear in the Organizer, it's no-where to be seen, other than in LR!
    Resolution sought:
    Can anyone tell me
    1. Is it possible to use Premiere Elements as an external editor in LR5 ?
    2. What are the precise settings should be for each field?
    3. If I configure it correctly, what does good look like: what should I expect to see happen in Premiere Elements?
    I don't know if this is relevant: MacBook Pro 16GB 2.8Ghz i7, 750GB SSD (i.e. plenty of space, plenty of horsepower), OS X 10.9.5
    I also don't know if I this is the right place for my question (Adobe directed me here) so please don't shout at me if I've come to the wrong place (I expect if I get no joy here, when I post it to an LR forum, they'll shout at me too :-)
    Thanks
    Phil

    I do not have Lightroom 5 or other version of it. I did do some work on an earlier version tryout of it.
    And, I believe now as then, that the answer to your question is No. Bottom line, if there is integration
    to be found between Lightroom, it is between Photoshop Elements and the Elements Organizer, not the Premiere Elements Editor.
    The following is the extent of my travels through Lightroom with focus the Slideshow Module.

    Good suggestion to get the Lightroom view point at the Adobe Lightroom Forum.

  • Custom icons 'unclickable' in icon view & not shown in coverflow

    Hi,
    I just got off the line with Apple support, who couldn't solve my problem and then just told me that Leopard didn't support what I was doeing and thus that it was not there problem. Very un-apple if you ask me...
    Here's the problem:
    I create custom icons for my movies by pasting images (Jpeg's or what have you) onto the icon in the 'Get info' window of a file. This works fine, however when I view the files in icon view I can't select the file by clicking on the icon, only by clicking on the text below. Strangly enough this problem dissapears when I edit the icon size in the 'View options' to a size equal too or smaller then 116x116. At this point I can select the file without any problem.
    The same sort of happens in coverflow. Here I can't see the icon in coverflow if the icons are fairly large. Once I reduce the size of the coverflow bar too the point where the icons are very small the custom icons reappear.
    The make the matter even more strange this problem only occurs with files where I created a custom icon for since I had Leopard installed. All custon icons created under 10.4 work fine.
    This indicates too me that Leopard has problem with handeling the resolution of icons.
    Note also that Leopard stores icon images in different sizes. Try copying an icon image from the 'Get info' window, then launch Preview, then select 'File' and 'New from Clipboard'. You will see that there are multiple images here.
    Anybody know how to solve this?

    Getting the same stupid behavior here!
    I had a lot of customized Tiger folder icons but now i've got no good tools for customizing these new huge Leopard ones.
    I began using *Icon Composer* from the developer tools after doing the graphics in Photoshop, then using IconDroplet to get them into a form where i can copy and paste them between *Get Info* windows. What a pain.
    Now i discover this bit where they're not clickable once i replace them! I didn't know about the behaviors when making them big in *Cover Flow* and small in Icon view until i read this.
    I've been snooping around but i haven't found what needs to be tweaked where to allow them to behave properly.
