How do i make an icon for a new genre

I'd like to create a new genre in iTunes for my collection,  and would like to create an "icon" similiar to the ones that are plugged into iTunes already.  I know if there isn't one it will default to an album cover.  Is there a way of doing this?  I want to make a genre for 'meditation', which I know how to do...I just want it to display like the other genres.
Thanks in advance,
GuiseppeNW

iTunes comes with a limited number of pre-defined genre images aka badges. Some of these images are associated with more than one genre, e.g. Alternative is connected to Alternative, Alternative & Punk, Alternative Country, Alternative Folk, Alternative Metal, Alternative Pop/Rock, Alternative Punk, Alternative Rock, AlternRock, Punk, Punk Rock, Punk/Folk, Punk/Folk/Reggae and no doubt many others that aren't represented in my library. The dance image is linked to Dance, House, Techno & Trance or genres begining with those words.
If there is no default icon for a particular genre then itunes will display a cover from one of the albums with that genre. If you run your mouse pointer slowly across the image from one side to the other it will change to display the covers of each of the albums in that genre in turn. You can right/option click on any of these to Set Default Grid Artwork and that image will then be used to represent that genre. Use Clear Default Grid Artwork to reset things.
If you want to add your own custom genre badges, using artwork that is not in your albums, then place the images you want to use in the folder C:\Program Files\itunes\iTunes.Resources and edit the file C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\Genres.plist using something like Notepad++ to connect the required genres to your new images.

  • Does anyone know how to make an icon for a new keyboard layout?

    I have added a couple of keyboard layouts to my input sources and would dearly provide them with distinctive icons, but all icon makers I find on the net seem to cater to PCs only.

    Going to the App Store, there is a link for support.   That takes me to a facebook page:
    https://www.facebook.com/pages/Friendly-for-Netflix/
    Which when I lookup the info, takes me to:
    http://www.oecoway.com/
    Since there are no support links on the latter link, I would just message the owner of the Facebook page and tell them of your troubles.  If they are non-responsive, you may want to just as the App Store reverse the charge, with the feedback that the developer is non-responsive to user questions.  If it is functional for the $5 you paid, just keep it, and hope for an update you can use.

    - Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try syncing  the iPod to your computer. Then delete from iTunes and sync. that should delete it from the iPod. Then redownload it.

  • How do you make Vista Icons?

    The question may sound semi-noobish just in its nature, but I've been using Photoshop and similar programs for the past 3 years of my life (I'm only 17) and know how to work my way around quite well. I've been trying to make a icon for Vista (actually Windows 7 RC, but it uses the same guidelines) and simply cannot get it to work. I have my icon made in a 256x256 size and saved into .png. I edit the .xml file for my library that I want the icon to go for, but it simply changes it to the default folder icon. The XML coding is right, the location is correct, so it must lie within how I made the icon.
    Now, I know the default icon in the "Vista guideline" requires 256x256 and 11 other sizes; I had figured this would just downsize automatically. Do I resize the icon manually in seperate layers or what?
    And I apologize if this is the wrong place or this has been answered. I've searched the internet for at least 30 minutes, searched this forum lightly and came up empty. Also sorry if this seems more like a Windows issue rather than a Photoshop issue, but generally going into a Windows forum and asking this will get you a bunch of garbage, seeing as they may or may not have experience with making icons.
    P.S. The PNG is not interlaced; shouldn't make a difference, but I'm trying to cover every little detail.

    BGG001,
    The majority of people here are friendly and helpful.  Most are more (much more) knowledgeable than I am.  There are a few that are as you described, but not many.
    As far as age is concerned, to me, it's like a person's race.  Good & bad in all.  I respect everyone until they show that I should do otherwise.
    Thanks for reply.

  • How can i make a email for my printer

    how can i make a email for my printer to send the things to the email and get it printed if i was out of the house my printer model is 3525

    Hi alhashmi_sy,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you would like to learn how to setup the ePrint feature of your Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 printer.
    The first step is to connect your printer to your wireless network. Please follow the steps in the Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection document for your operating system. If you have already setup your printer with a USB cable, each operating system section has the steps to switch from the USB connection to a wireless connection.
    After connecting the printer to your wireless network please follow the steps for Getting the Printer Claim Code. Once you have the web services information sheet with your claim code please Set Up a Custom Email Address for ePrint.
    You should now have a customized ePrint email address for your printer. If you run into any issues please let me know at what step things went awry and the contents of any error messages. Please also let me know what operating system you are using on your computer (whatsmyos.com). Thank you.

    Delete your account in 1. "Settings > iCloud" + 2. "Settings > Messages > Send & Receive" + 3. "Settings > FaceTime", but still let them using your account for iTunes and app purchases in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Of course, please make sure that they do not know your password to set up your account for iCloud again or purchase anything alone.

  • Is it worth it to make custom icons for a custom control/indicator?

    I was making custom icons (well not very custom, but still at least somet ext) for controls and indicators, when I realized that the only times you see them are when you open the control, itself, ot if you hover over it in the project with context help on.
    So the question is:
    Is it worth it to create a custom icon for each custom control you make, if it will be seen only rarely?  (The exception being a cluster, since, in the later versions of LabVIEW, you can actually represent your cluster on the BD as the icon you made for it, so it definitely IS worth it to make an icon for it.)

    I'd like to add another time that you see the control's icon, is when it is a type def cluster, and you have it as a constant on the block diagram.  Then double click the border to shrink the cluster.  It will shrink to the size of the control's icon.
    I also hardly ever make a control icon.  Only when it is on the palette in a reuse package.
    Yeah,t hat's what I meant in my original post, although you CAN represent a cluster constant on the BD as an icon - but it's just the little thing on the bottom of the typdef'd cluster because it obviously has no actual icon.
