hi themers!
After png's have been optimized, they are shown as indexed color mode, and therefore isnt correctly loaded with photoshop.
So made a small tool, that is able to convert lots of png-files, into 32bit RGB Alpha mode, so that they are all readable with photoshop, and other image editors as well.
I made this tool, because i thought it was a bit of a hassle to convert every png with indexed color mode, into 32bit RGBA mode, one by one. I do realize that it can be accomplished by batch processing, but thought it would be a lot easier with a GUI tool, so I made this
What it does exactly, is that the themer can add thousands of png's to a list, and then convert all of them, with only a few clicks.
I actually dont know how 9-patch png's (*.9.PNG) are behaving after the convertion, so made a button to exclude them from the list, before converting, so they dont get "hurt" in the process.
*EDIT* - Un-Optimizing compiled ninepatch files will mess them up, and they will not work afterwards!
Index color mode png opened with photoshop:

If i helped, i only ask for a "Thanks", and if anyone run into problems, have some ideas for changes or anything else, please let me know
And if just one person find this useful, ill consider this project: "time well spended"
Cheers!
TODO List:
+ Add "Un-Optimize selected file(s)" to the right-click context menu
+ Add panning/scroll feature at View Image window
+ Add "Un-Optimize" to windows context menu, when right-clicking png files
+ Add "Optimize" functionality, to make files optimized again
+ Port it to Linux (?)
Current release:
v1.1
+ Added Double-Click on items in list, to show image and its resolution, but not bitdepth as it showed 32bit on index png-files as well. Making it show if its index mode seems like a bit of a struggle to accomplish, so didnt add that.
+ Added Right-Click context menu at items in the list, with the ability to show the image, open in favorite editor and remove from list.
+ Added Drag&Drop function.
+ Added Settings window, to set Favorite Image Editor (like photoshop or such...) and Exclude 9-Patch (*.9.PNG) files from list on every add.
+ Fixed a lot of code, so its now more stable and user-friendly.
Previous releases:
v1.0
(First official release)
How to use this tool
First of all, if you havent already, then extract the zip content to anywhere you feel like.. Some place you remember
When starting it up, you will see some buttons, and they are kind of self-explanatory, but nevertheless ill explain it anyway.
The first thing you are going to do, is to add some files to convert:
Or you can just drag+drop files and folders from explorer or something similar, onto the tool. This is a newly added feature, so please report if anything goes wrong
Then you might want to remove some file(s), you can just select the one(s) from the list, holding CTRL down while left-click on the items. After that, click the "Remove selected..."-button.
I recommend that you click "Remove 9-Patch files..."-button, before starting the convertion, as *.9.png files gets messed up in the process. The technical thing, is that they loose the byte chunk binary information in the header, and therefore cant decode.
Now, you should be ready, so just click the "Start !"-button, to begin the convertion. It will take a few minuttes to finnish, depending on your machine and how many PNG-files to convert, and their size and details.
For future use, it would be a good idea to check out the Settings for this tool.
When the settings window is open, you are able to set your Favorite Image Editor (like Photoshop or such...), so that you are able to select one or more files in the list, right-click and "Open selected file(s) in Favorite image editor". This will then launch you image editor, and then open the selected file(s), within this and your are ready to edit them from there.
There is also the option to make it exclude 9-patch files, by default everytime you add files to the list.
If you have any questions, constructive critism, or just some ideas to be made, then feel free to post
Damn... thanks limit... I'll try to remember to give you later the one you deserve.
I've not tried your tool, I'm at the office, leaving in two minutes, but I'm sure it's going to make my life easier.. this indexed color mode drives me crazy..
Thanks anyway, I'll give you feedback later too..

thanks mate
yeah, that was how i felt before making this tool.. so im glad it will make your life easier as well
looking forward for your feedback :good:
Thanks my friend. I'll work when I have some time :good:
Simply Superb :highfive::good:
App Test On Its Way Brother :highfive:
edit : ran a simple test and this is so sexy mate , big thanks will save alot ,, alot of time for users and new themers
just an opinion : if you can add an open button for the converted file , would be awsum
thanks my friends! really glad you like this.. and yeah, this is making theming a whole lot faster..
the point with this, is just select all the apk's output folders, and click "Yes" to include subdirectories, and then it will add all pngs to convert into nicely editable files but, dont know about the 9patch ones, so made a button to exclude them from the list, right before converting, just in case
vegeta, ive already planned to make a double-click function on the items, in the list, to show the image in another window.. and some small description of the image, like resolution, bit depth, and such... so, that will be added into the next version
EDIT:
you guys should probably subscribe to this thread, because updates will come, guaranteed.. just a suggestion
EDIT2:
Updated the TODO list
Great work mate! And I see it's very useful for win users.
Using Mac I have no such issues at all. Photoshop opens 9.png with no problem and the thing which necessary to do is decrease Canvas size to get real image size for future patching after editing.
Just Checked And Works Fine...
Thanks A Lot Mate....
A very nice and Important share for theme makers.
Thanks a lot my friend!!! Work fine! :good:
Feedback time as promised..
It just does it's work.. perfectly.
Congrats anbech, great work ! :good:
Thanks for all that feedback mates! really appreciated
will update it soon, might already be tomorrow..
Update!
I updated my tool.. changes is written in OP
cheers

thanks alot mate, just kind of update i wanted
double click , right click options to remove file , multi selecting
thanks alot again brother
vegeta, im glad that youre glad about the new changes
hope it comes handy for all the themers at xda.. i certainly, as the developer of it, think its making the theming process a lot faster.. just add the SystemUI extracted apk and framework-res.apk, and it will make ALL the png's fully editable, except 9patch files though...
Thank you
I had to come out of exile to say many, many thanks for this tool.
I've been looking for something like this for a long time instead of using fireworks or pixlr.com.
It runs very smooth and is very light on resources.
If i may make a suggestion. How about adding a right click "un optimize" option to the windows right click menu?.
Highlight png/s> right click> un optimize.

With the help and inspiration from Bluemetalaxe and many others here, I was able to create some icons for UL. All the icons are 48x48 pixels, which the size can be altered in the UL settings. Up to five 48x48 icons can be placed side by side and flushed on the bottom of your today screen.
What I suggest is creating a new "UL Icon" folder on your SD card, so that you can save and use as many icons as you'd like, without worrying about memory.
I also posted some PNG images and icons here as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378260&page=4 post # 37, but from now on I'll be posting my releases here.
The application I use to make the icons (Icofx) can be located in post # 13. Also if you have any icon request, please let me know.

Thanks iggy, still learning though. Which ones, lol? I have them in png now because I'm coming across some many pictures, and can possibly convert them all. But, if you'd like I can post them in png format and you can create the icons yourself.

A brief tutorial on using and installing UL icons:
Bottom Task Bar: If you and when you want to disable the bottom task bar in your today screen, download and install dcinobar.exe, and place it in your windows\startup folder in your device, then reboot.
Scroll Bar in Today Screen: If you and when you want to disable the scroll bar on your today screen, (so you can place your UL icons on the bottom), go into the registry settings of your device, (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Ultimatelaunch\" and change "Type" from "4" to "5”. This value locks the plugin to the today screen effectively, thus disabling (removing) the today screen scroll bar (then reboot so the setting will stick). Special note … you have to also Uncheck all your “today” plugins, which is located in your settings/today/Items folder, you want nothing but icons on your today screen like the pics in the first post.
Icons on the bottom of the screen: If and when you want the UL tabs/icons to sit against the bottom of the today screen, you have to go into the UL settings, then go into the “Display” folder like in the picture above. Pllease note the settings I currently have. Checking the "Fixed Plugin-height" box will enable you to adjust the space between the top and bottom tabs. The higher the number, the more space between and vice versa get it? Good!!. Now also make you choose "bottom" in the "Tab Headers position" drop down box as well.
The quickest and easiest way (for me) of placing these icons on my deivce is through active sync. Now go into your "Program Files/Ultimate Launch\Icons" folder in your device. This is where you place the icons.
(1) go into your UL settings on your phone, (for example) in the "Tab" folder,
(2) Highlight the first item and hit "change" which is the 3rd button on the right,
(3) Go to "tab" again, and you'll see XP-Icon button. Hit that and it'll browse your device/storage card. Look for where icon you placed it, which was in Program Files\Ultimate Launch\Icons folder. There you will find the icons.
Also remember, you can assign two images to one (.exe) an application, "Normal" and "Pushed'. This is a cool feature many other launchers don't have.
If anyone comes across anything significant I missed and should mention, please don't hesitate to tell me, and I'll update the tutorial.

Maybe you could post them as png so long and some creative members can convert what they like to ico format, and share what they convert? This way, the burden is not all on you...

Good Idea
Below is the app I use to create/edit icons. Basically using this is fairly simple. If I can do it, you or anyone can too, lol.
I'm still learning how to use the application because the original picture size varies. Also, I included some ready-made icons as well (some of which are pictured above). Hopefully, this will spark many to create unusual and interesting new icons
Ya Boi D, I'm not sure if you're looking for something like this. You can see it on my today screen, and it's included in the random icon file. I'll keep searching. You know have the tools to create some yourself and share.
Very nice icons - Thanks
ico not as mamy as in the finger
I downloaded the summerboard zip and found few icos not exist in tne zip shown in your posted finger. How can i get them?Thanks
awesome! thanks for the great collections.
all i can say is wow ive probably downloaded over 300 icons for UL and none of them even hold a candle to these looks like im not gona sleep for a few days i hope i can figure out how to convert them or i might not ever leave my computer. but ive got no job and 2 cases of beer ill get em done thanks for some killer icons
To all, I'm glad you like the icons,
The "Summerboard" zip has been updated with the 4 missing icons. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Several icons on the bottom of my today screen are game icons, which I'm currently working on. I have 19 of them and will post them (in icon form) tomorrow at the latest.
is there a tutorial on how to install the skins?
first time using UL xD
Hi!
Excellent icons but can you you explain how you did the firts screen shots like iphone without windows task bars?
I use too UL but i still have the task bar...
Thanks
----------------------------------------
whats new ?:
- this is a nearly original wheee theme, all credits for Idea and look go to Ufufu and i use again the sticker icons, other grafics and background made by me. This theme has new topbar graphics and a new missed calls-icon that will come to snowwhite and free! theme with next update (This 3 sticker-iconsthemes use exactly the same xmls only the backgrounds are different)
----------------------------------------
I recommend to do this SETTINGS for your ppc:
(how to: open the xml or txt files with with "totalcommander", or on your PC with "windows Editor", make the following changes, choose "save" (NOT "save as.."), put xmls or txt files back in the theme folder of you PPC and restart todaylife.)
Edit the config.xml :
1. go down to "emaildefaultparam" and there you find:"freenet.de". Replace this with the name of your account.
2. go down to CalendarAction and set it to 1 (=default windows mobile Calendar) otherwise my settings open thumbcal !
3. go down to time format and change it to 12 or 24
4. go to SMS Action and set it to 0 if you don want to open pocketcm
5. you can do more changes (SMS Alarm settings/Lock-settings), they are explained in the xml !
6. change language in the appointments: open the portrait.xml and the landscape.xml . You will find this text:
<Today>Heute</Today>
<Tomorrow>Morgen</Tomorrow>
<AllDay>.....</AllDay>
<MultiDay>.....</MultiDay>
change this four words in this lines to any language
7. change the date format in both portrait.xml and landscape.xml: <Format>dddd, d. MMMM yyyy</Format>
8. add the name and path of you applications for the launcher in the "Applications.txt". Can be ".exe" or ".lnk" and works also with parameters.
9. To open with the launcher directly your favorite webside with you favorite browser:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2538839#post2538839

FAQ:
1. what is this ?
- this are my qvga themes (also Landscape support) for the FAST FULLSCREEN Software/GUI "todayLife" made by DAZZLINGDAZ. Today life is a brilliant new Software like rltoday or batterystatus, but will get much more functions and is much easier to costumize: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407900
2. how to install and what additional software do i need ?
- you need nothing more. i works with wm 6.0 and wm 6.1 with NetFramework 2.0 or 3.5. And no need to install !!! unzip the folder put it on your phone and start the todaylife.exe. If you dont like it delete just the folder thats it.
3. What is working till now ? :
- not everything, test it, but i update this skin everytime that there are some new functions for you.
4. I´m having bugs/Problems/Ideas ?
- if you have a bug/Problem/Idea or want to modify my theme and dont know how: post it here, if its not running or you have a request to the programmer post it in the above thread.
5. Can you make this theme to VGA ?
- no sorry i cant, i don´t have the time and biggest Problem: i dont have a vga device for testing the graphics here. But todaylife works well with VGA.
6. I dont come out of some windows ?
- slide to the left side

Congratulations on your first skin for the todaylife engine! Very well done!!
thank you.
Let me say some addional words:
- credits for some of the used graphics (especially Backgrounds) go to steve jobs
- i use some freeware icons from RuizDesign and use their psd-file for creating own Icons. thank you
- and yes it looks like a iphone skin, and this should be so.
Hi Blue,
Congrats on the new thread. Unfortunately, it mean that I'll have to follow 2 threads instead of Daz's only. Oh well.....
Excellent work!
A pity you don't have a VGA device.
Hope somebody with free time on their hands can VGA-ize it.

Congratulations, good work. Could you make a theme that will have more "HTC looks"? Something like HTC Home? Thanks again for this great theme.
this is actually a very nice theme i must say!
to this day ive never heard of "TodayLife", but i can guarantee u this..im gonna give it a try..
the theme looks good, not too heavy to dark or too bright..actually looks similar to a MS2.1 theme ive seen before lol
ill give it a run, and definitely will provide some feedback!
kudos to all who created the app and the skinners/artists!
I'm glad you keep on improving your skin. I've included the previous version in one of my custom rom. And I was waiting for a new one since BS can manage plugins.
Thank You!
Guys - to change a skin pack to a different resolution takes time!!! the icons may be too small for starters - BUT - you can change most of it yourself - simply by editing the portrait.xml and landscape.xml and making all the X and Y coordinates double - S(ize) attributes for things like the calendar can be doubled too
Example (this is from the xml and is for the bit that displays the current date)
<Date>
<P>1</P>
<X>90</X>
<Y>45</Y>
<Align>CENTRE</Align>
<R>200</R>
<G>0</G>
<B>200</B>
<S>10</S>
<Format>dddd d MMMM, yyyy</Format>
</Date>
To go VGA for this :
<Date>
<P>1</P>
<X>180</X>
<Y>90</Y>
<Align>CENTRE</Align>
<R>200</R>
<G>0</G>
<B>200</B>
<S>20</S>
<Format>dddd d MMMM, yyyy</Format>
</Date>
This doubles the xpos , ypos - and doubles the size of the font - it really is that simple!
thanks you very much , great work
one question
this is a great theme just a couple of questions
first off how do you unlock it,
second theres nothing on the music or programs tab how do i change this?
thanks
I am still developing the program - so it is correct that some tabs are empty - this is by design and allows for expansion as I develop.
Please read the development thread for more info.
The unlock sequence is 4 seperate guestures : ^, >, \/, <
Can someone post more screenshots. I can't see the original for some reason.
Also, is there a collection of themes for this new program yet?
Thanks!
By the way - apart form the skinners...it's just me developing LOL - so if you request something and it doesn't get done straight away - it's cause there isn't a large team of monkeys bashing keyboards....just me...and I, unfortunately, have to sleep sometimes (although very rarely)

i attach a preview of the vga version i have to make working something more..
buttons are ok now i must work beside text and fonts dimension maybe something cold work
When i click the speaker icon my screen darkens, but i dont get a volume control. I have to reset the phone to get out of it. Anyone else have this problem?
okay, thank you all:
but again some words:
- creating or ripping and fitting these graphics needs about 40 hours. so i will not and dont want to make a quick htc skin.
- everyone is welcome to create own themes.
- this is a thread is just for this theme/skin. if you want more functions, want to know how it works or have a technical problem or want a different Design please go to the thread of Dazzlingdazz, he is the brilliant programmer of the software.
- to unlock slide to top, then to right, then to bottom then to left.

[icons]WM 6.5 Black & Blue/Red/Green/Yellow/Orange/Purple/Grey Folder Sets [12/4/09]
Hello all,
Here's my little contribution to the community after having received so much from so many. I've been using these folder icons because I wanted something that went with my phone and I couldn't stand the default yellow ones.
If anyone wants something added to the set I'd be more than happy to do so, especially if they supply the icon to go on the folder

How-To
I recommend using one of several icon changing apps available at XDA. The one I currently use is JWMD's Icon Changer, and have used and liked Showaco's reSTART too.
CREDITS
The base folder icon came from the HydroPRO Icon Pack, which is floating around all over the net. Here's a link from my site if you just want to d/l it and not do all the searching. I got it from Vista Icons and it was written by mediaDesign at DeviantArt
Many of the other images I put on top of the folders are from the Alpha Dista Icon Pack, also floating around all over the net. Here's a quick link for that too. I got this from Vista Icons as well. It was written by Danial Flaco at Deviant Art.
The rest of the images were taken from various logos on the web, images I've come across, and stock WM 6.5 / ATT Tilt 2 icons.
Obviously, I make no claim to the original artwork and do not request any kind of credit (I only super-imposed the images I liked, after all) and I place no limits on what you do with this set. Feel free to use, distribute, alter, etc. etc. I'd suggest that if you are looking to sell any of it that you contact the artists listed above first
~Eric
Thanks! I love black & blue color schemes! All the themes I use are like that!

Hi wokwitme
In WM6.5 use reSTART by Showaco to reassign icons to folders. In this case image files must be placed in:
\Program Files\reSTART\icons\
In WM6.1 you need to convert icons into .ico files and then into a .dll library. once in a .dll library you place a link in the folder you wish to assign an icon to called icon.lnk. The shortcut of the icon.lnk file must point to the .dll library and the index number of the icon you want to be displayed.
There are better WM6.1 tutorials on the forum.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

I have nade an icon set of my own which I was on the point of releasing.
Unless they're copyrighted I'm going to use your blank folders as a template to make some more icons. Don't worry, I always attribute work I use.
If you'd like to support this, it would be great if you could send me a higher resolution source file. If you want a preview of what I plan to release please let me know & I'll PM it over to you.
Cheers

I'm not sure if this was directed at me or what you're asking for here... The icons just go in a folder on the device of your choosing. I use "\My Documents\My Icons" for convenience.
To apply the icons for you would be very tough, a lot of people have their own layouts and organizations to folder structure. Unless you have the exact layout I have, automatically applying them wont work.
Did this address your question? Let me know, I'm happy to help any way I can

Thanks a lot...it´s nice to listen that...
I believe that the best way is to use ichanger 0.9..
When i have time i will post some links which i need red icons...
You care to help me and make these icons for me?¿?
I've been dabbling around with making text icons, so if anyone has any requests, i'll start making them for you. All i'm going to need is what you want them to look like, and a list of icons you want made. I.E. "Google Talk", "Google Mail", "Web Browser" and goodies like that. I'm also gonna need to know how you want things said, so make sure you spell it EXACTLY as you want it for your text icon.
TEAM VIPER!
Nice. The cake-decorator of this surge of chef work, putting the icing on the cake!
Someone made some genericicons not too long ago. I liked that he had some catch-alls like wife, hubby, gf bf, etc.
Look forward to seeing your work.

Well ...give me a list of what you want, and i'll make em up, and tell me what you want them to look like ...if you want a specific font, let me know that too
Well since you are asking for specifics, I'll give ya some for a decent starting point. Right now I just use Tallmin icons (all white, since my dock/wallpaper color changes all the time. Thatd be a nice one to base work off of (google it). So nice white or light grey ones with some shadows would be nice.
Font? I don't know it all depends on the user and which font they flashed over. Haha. I think personally Russel squared would look nice (one of the ones included in the font changing thread) or any other ones that were in that thread. After all, those are the ones most people out there are using as their system fonts, so having them match wouldn't be a bad thing
Edit: Oh and as for which ones to make, Id take all the standards, Web browser, File Manager, Music Player, Call Dialer, Open Games, Open Navigation, Google Maps, SetCPU, Google Inbox (Or Google Mail, Gmail, etc etc) Text Messaging, Android Market, Take Pictures (or open camera) idk, like I said I use the tallmin ones, they would give you alot of good ideas for examples too, seeing as most of those icon packs have ALOT of different ones.

You need Launcher Pro and what you do is long press on the desktop>select shortcuts>applications>(Now you select the app you wanna place on your desktop)>then you should see a "Edit Shortcut" window and you can now "touch the icon to change" which will bring up the gallery and you should be able to see the folder containing the text icons. Navigate to the one you want to replace the default icon, hit OK and thats it!(Remember to erase the name under the icon in the "Edit Shortcut"). I created a folder on the root of my SD Card and named it "Icons" and I place all my icon folders in there and they always show up in the gallery whenever I go to replace the default icon! You do the same for the dock icons, just long press and follow the on screen menu's.
Edit: Nevermind, I used a file manager and finally found it. Sneaky Lil picture it is.
Ok. I want the Samsung Epic (touchwiz) application icon. If u could find it, that would be great

Graphics Software Help for Themers
I created this thread for anyone who would like help or want to learn quick ways in which to make theming and/or modding easier while using various graphics software. This software includes Adobe CS(Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.), GIMP, Paint.NET, Xara, CorelDRAW, Painter, etc.
This thread ideally should be able to help those who would like to use a particular program to create icons, launcher themes, boot animations, wallpapers, etc. There are lots of great theming help threads but within these threads there may be a few questions on how to use certain software to accomplish various tasks. A thread dedicated to just that would be ideal so as to not to deviate from the main topics of those threads.
All questions pertaining to how you would use a particular software for your creation are welcome and I would encourage other themers or anyone else who has knowledge and would like help, to please do so.
I am mostly familiar with Photoshop. I'm by no means an expert but I'm comfortable enough with the program to be able to be helpful wherever and whenever I can. There are XDA members who know more than I about this particular program as well the others mentioned.
I will add to this thread as much as I can and will also add helpful posts of other users to the OP.
Lets start:
How to open multiple images as Photoshop layers:
1. Opening Adobe Bridge and navigate to the folder that contains the images you want to add to your document. I have Bridge open to a folder on my Desktop with five images inside of it. I’ll select the first image (the one on the left) by clicking on its thumbnail.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Then, to select the other two images as well, I’ll hold down my Shift key and individually select images or click on the last of the five images (the one on the right). All five images are now highlighted and selected. Or CTRL+A to select everything in your folder.
3. With all of the images selected, go up to the Tools menu in the Menu Bar along the top of the screen in Bridge, choose Photoshop for a list of Photoshop-specific options, then choose Load Files into Photoshop Layers.
4. Photoshop will open automatically, if it’s not open already, and will add all five images (or as many images that you have selected) into the same document. It may take a few moments for Photoshop to process everything, but when it’s done, you’ll see a single document open on your screen containing all of your photos.
(Photoshop) How to apply an action for your images. You can record an action and set it to one to three buttons. (Photos may be provided later)
1. Go to Window and click Action and the Action popup or menu will show on the right.
2. Click the drop-down next to Action and click New Action.
3. Name your action whatever you'd like. Where it says Function, I would recommend creating one so you don't have to keep selecting your action and clicking the Play button every time you want to use your action. For example, you can make F2, Shift+F2, or Ctrl+F2 a function and anytime you you want your action to start, just click the button or button combinations you made.
4. Click Record and perform your action from start to finish then click the Stop button. Now all you have to do is keep clicking your pre-programmed button anytime you want to use these actions on your images.
(Photoshop) How to batch apply one action to multiple images. Once you have a recorded action you can apply it to an endless amount of images at one time without pressing anything.
1. Go to File > Automate > Batch.
2. At the top in the Play section, where it says Set, find your folder in the drop-down.
3. Underneath Set you will see Action. The drop-down will have your pre-programmed actions and select the one you want.
4. Now go to the Source section. Click the Choose button and select the folder in which you would like your image files saved then Click Ok.

Thanks a lot. I would like to but don't have the time at the moment. This thread was also created for the community. It's for anyone looking for troubleshooting with the various graphics programs used to theme. Any and everyone could take part and is encouraged to do so. But I guess no one needs the help...lol.
However, the thread is still here.
On gimp, I opened a .PNG file, a quick setting toggle icon to be specific, it is in a greenish-yellow color and I wanted to change to white. So I set the foreground color to absolute white and picked the pencil tool, lower its size down to a pixel then I clicked on the image,expecting white color to fill the pixel, instead it "popped" out the same greenish-yellow color of the original image. Tried another tool, still the same result. But tried another .PNG image and BAM! white comes out.......then I realized some .PNG images worked while some didn't. Does anybody know what's causing this?
I'm still new to GIMP
And also the foreground color never changed from white and background never changed from black......... also if black is used as foreground color it works. So what's wrong with white??

Are you trying to do image masking in order to fill a particular area white?
Actually, Im trying to add white on top of the old color to as to change the whole icon to white. If that is what you also meant, then yes....

I'm not sure if GIMP had anything to do with one .png's ability to work properly over another. However, it may depend on the quality of the actual image itself.
