Icons for buttons

Hi Everyone,
This is more of a 'nice to have', but can anyone recommend a program that I can use to create icons (or comes with prepackaged icons) to use through my HMI, in particular for buttons. Obviously, free would be better.
Cheers,
David

If it's graphics you want, you can use anything from Paint to GIMP to even PowerPoint to create your graphics and then copy and import them into the control editor, so they will appear inside your controls and indicators. Read the documentation about customizing controls for more details.

You realize that LabVIEW 6.0 is at least 15 years old? That would be almost equivalent to working with a Windows 98 machine nowadays!
Yes your picture can't be imported in LabVIEW 6.0 on my machine either. I haven't checked about all the details, but the LabVIEW import in 6.0 doesn't seem to work for png and gif images but only for bmp. Newer versions do work for your png file including honoring the transparency at least since version 7.1.

Icons on buttons

Hi,
I've tried to put an icon on a button, but I am not succesful.
I've applied this note 203846.1 and done:
- My icons are in c:\pruebas\images
- Create virtual directory in forms90.conf
AliasMatch ^/forms90/html/(..*) "C:\PRUEBAS\IMAGES"
- registry.dat
default.icons.iconpath=http://almacenes02.seisapdmn.es:8888/forms90/icons
default.icons.iconextension=gif
Could anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

If you typed your posting correctly, you defined a virtual directory called forms90/html, but in iconpath you are using forms90/icons (not same virtual directory name).
I'm assuming you're using iAS. If iDS, you define the virtual directories in /j2ee/Oracle9ids/application-deployments/forms/forms90web.
However, the best way to deploy icons for buttons is to download them to the client by putting them in a JAR file in forms90/java. Then leave iconpath blank and add the jar file to the archive parameter in formsweb.cfg, and make sure imagebase is set to codebase.

How to upload an icon for a toolbar push button

I'd like to be able to define/upload an icon that I can use for a new push button on a toolbar for the FB03 screen.
1) How can I upload the button icon?
      From here?
      ABAP User Dialogs ->Screens ->Complex Screen Elements ->GUI controls on screen
      Or somewhere totally differently?
2) What file format does a button icon need to be in and what is the suggested pixel size?
This is how I'm thinking of creating the button:
lv_icon             = '@11@'.
adding button to toolbar
call method gref_toolbar->add_button
   exporting
    fcode            = lv_fcode
    icon             = lv_icon
    is_disabled      = lv_is_disabled
    butn_type        = cntb_btype_button
    quickinfo        = lv_quickinfo
   exceptions
    cntl_error       = 1
    cntb_btype_error = 2
    cntb_error_fcode = 3
    others           = 4

Hi
In Module Pool Programming (Or Dialog Programming) we can set the icons to buttons in the Menu Painter (SE 41).
Go to SE41 and select the FCODE for which you want to upload icon. Double Click on the FCODE it will POP a Screen
in which you can see the field to upload icon.
Hope this would help you.

How can I change the icon for the bookmarks menu button

Using linux, the default icon for the bookmarks menu button is quite ugly. Is there a way to change the icon for the button with some code in userChrome.css ?

After several intents, I found a solution.
This is my userChrome.css file:
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
toolbarbutton[class="toolbarbutton-1"]#bookmarks-menu-button image[class="toolbarbutton-icon"] {
list-style-image: url("bookmark_gray.png") !important;
-moz-image-region: rect(0px, 0px, 0px, 24px) !important;}
Probably it's messy but works.

Change title, tooltip and icon for About button in published Webhelp?

About Webhelp is just plain wrong. The tooltip ought to read "About <project name>" and the title bar for the About window should be eliminated (or else have it read About <project ver xx>.
How do I do this?
Likewise, is it possible to change the ICON for the About dialog in the toolbar of a published Webhelp project?

I have the same issue.
I modified the whskin_banner.htm file to control what displays for the About button. The only thing I can't figure out is how to modify the tooltip. It still says "About Webhelp" when you hover over it.
I searched the whskin_banner.html file for the words "About Webhelp" but nothing was found. I looked in the Edit Skin wizard and couldn't find anything either. I also searched the Skinny on Skins and it doesn't address this issue.
How do I change the About tooltip? Did I miss something?
Thanks!

The other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and now none of the icons for the different websites I normally go to are there?

As I said, the other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and after doing so none of the icons for the different websites that normally go to are no longer there. Websites such as MSNBC, MSN, Most visited, that entire strip is no longer visible. I tired resetting Firefox and still nothing. Can anyone tell me how to get them to appear again? It's a hassle every time that I want to go to one of those sites I have to type it in the search bar, instead of just clicking on it as I did before. Please keep in mind if you answer, that I'm still learning about these things called computers and not very well versed in some of the things that you experts know:) Thanks

On Windows XP Firefox shows the menu bar by default and not the orange Firefox menu button that is shown when the menu bar is hidden.<br />
The menu bar is the toolbar at the top that shows menu items like File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help.<br />
You can press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily in case this bar is hidden (View > Toolbars or Firefox > Options).
The Navigation Toolbar shows the Back and forward button and the input field where you type the address of a site that you want to visit (aka location bar) and also has a search bar where you can type items that you want to look up with a search engine (Google).

InDesign CS4 no longer shows triangle icon for modified images in Links

My InDesign crashed the other day, and now it no longer gives me the yellow triangular icon in the Links panel to indicate that and image has been modified and needs to be updated. I typically do not connect the image to the original via Indesign, but work in Photoshop independently. This has never been a problem. After I update the image in PS, the triangle instantly appears in ID so I can click on it and update the image.
I can still click on the refresh button to update the image, but I would like those indicators back since it helps me with older documents - so I can know which images actually need the update and which do not.
I have restarted the panel and launched and closed bridge as suggested in other older discussions, and it didn't make a difference. I also noticed that the if I do try to open the original image via ID with Open With, the icon for PS, for example, does not take me to PS (it opens the image in Windowd Paint). This makes me wonder is the whole connection between ID and PS is messed up. How do I fix that connection?

I will also add that the Edit With paths are completely messed up, but only within ID. If I choose to open in PS, it may open it in Firefox, IE, Paint or Windows preview. And then next time, choose a different app. Eventually Photoshop won't even be an option anymore. If I choose Other and choose PS, then it works. If I go in bridge or anywhere else in Windows and choose PS from Open With, then it works fine. This is just an ID problem.

How can I create an icon for "New Tab" (not "new window") on the toolbar?

I want to have an icon for New Tab on the toolbar. I cannot find such icon on the Customize option.
Is this possible?
BTW I tried to check options-->tabs-->open new windows in a new tab instead, but this does not help and when clicking the "new Window" icon on the toolbar, indeed a new window - and not a new tab - opens.
Thanks.

You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab (+) button form the tab bar on another toolbar. It will become a regular New Tab toolbar button.
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

Desktop icon for a file on network shows blank in Windows 8.1, if selected the second icon from the library

Hello,
I have a strange issue on my Windows 8.1 machine. The icon for for an executable file on the network shows blank, if I select the second icon from the library. (File->Properties->Change Icon and select the second icon - This file has two icons)
If I re-create the IconCache.db, then it is showing correctly. But I do not want to do this every time.
Regards
Mattehw

It indicates your Icon Cache is corrupted and you need to rebuild it.
Open the command prompt window, type each of the following and after every command, hit the Enter button:
cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
attrib –h IconCache.db
del IconCache.db
start explorer

The icons for html files are blank . . . how do i get them to show the firefox image

on the desktop and in directories, the icons for html files are blank . . .
firefox is my default browser . . .
how do i get the icons to show the firefox image ?? . . .

You can check for issues with the Windows icon cache and try to rebuild the icon cache.
# Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
# In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
# Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
# Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local (%LocalAppData%) in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
# Select the IconCache.db file and use "Delete" in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
# After the IconCache.db file has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
The IconCache.db file is a hidden file, so make sure that you can see hidden files.

Unable to display blinking icon for JTree

     return icon;
}

1. Use code tags to post codes -- [code]CODE[/code] will display asCODEOr click the CODE button and paste your code between the {code} tags that appear.
2. A renderer is just a "rubber stamp" used to paint on the table/tree/list/whatever. You can't display animation in an ImageIcon by setting it to a renderer. Since the JLabel subclass used as the renderer isn't a part of any visible component hierarchy, the icon won't be refreshed with new frames.
