Homebrew Icon
« on: March 06, 2006, 08:00:11 am »
I took it upon myself to make a new icon for Planeshift. It\'s not much, just the blue crystal.

Directions:
Windows - Download the .ico file at http://www.savefile.com/files/4454360 and save it anywhere you\'ll remember. Next, navigate to your Planeshift shortcut (in the start menu or elsewhere), right click on it and select properties. Make sure you\'re in the \"Shortcut\" tab and click on \"Change Icon...\". Select \"Browse...\" navigate to the bluegem.ico file and press \"Open\" -> \"OK\" -> \"Apply\" and lastly \"OK\" to close the window. If you did everything right then you have a new icon!

Mac/Linux - not real sure cause I don\'t own either, maybe someone else could post how to do it

Here\'s a picture of the 3 sizes - Have fun :)
EDIT - FYI the white ovals around the icons in the picture are transparent in the real file


P.S. Shout out to everyone who works on Planeshift: Thanks for the great game!

That\'s really pretty :D Mind if I move this over to the Fan Art section? Love the shade of blue!

Just to give credit where it is due, the 48x48 and the 32x32 icons are from http://www.ps-mc.com
I don\'t want to pretend something\'s mine when it isn\'t.

GNU/Linux can use various formats for icons ...most common nowadays are the raster PNG and vector SVG.
