Sony Theme Maker "Icon Tutorial"

i get that black background as well.

[dreamers]

ok i found out how to get the clear back ground for people who are getting the black one.

when you index the image, instead of the colour being 256 when you index it change it to 146. it should work then.

Theres an easier way to do this for photoshop users andn can be used to convert older theme

make you icons as 32bit bmps in photoshop with your alpha channel

make sure each icon is the needed size

open up a topmenu in rco edit hit multi-replace

you should see all your icons injected

now hit extract all


open the folder containing the extracted files delete all the fils except for the mig file

open up sonys theme converter

when it says select the icon file choose te folder containg the mig files hit * name of the icons so the files appear regardless of extension

select you files then make the ptf

this works really well i know

Hi ive made my own style with the sony prog, too.
But i have one problem.
I have always white borders etc. around my icons.
That looks a little bit shitlike.
I made them with Photoshop CS3.

PS: the borders are from the Sony Program. But i dunno why.

Hi mate, I have tried to get nice smooth icons using Photoshop but for some reason the icons come out with jagged edges. Now I have not tried lately with new ideas because I found a perfect way with Fireworks. Let me know how you get on
