Pretty straight forward question: How do you make borderless icons such as Gold/Lumber/Food? - The IconBorderPack does not seem to contain one? - I had no luck with the eraser tool. - I tried a passive icon, but could still see a black outline/border For example, I'd like to replace the Food Icon with this: ![]() thx for any help. |

Quick CnP. Just open an extracted .tga resource icon from Image Extractor in gimp or something, and paste over your new icon. Then convert back to blp. |

I don't understand what you need, they seem to just have no border. Like, an erased border. |

How do make a borderless icon: 1) Convert it to the format that your image editing program allows. 2) Either select the border using the select and delete it, or (if your using Photo Shop) select the bit you want to keep and inverse it. 3) Resize the canvas size so its the same as the image, and save. 4) convert back to blp 5) change it in the interface. The main thing here is that a boarderless icon is an icon without the boarder, so just delete it. |

Thx for help. When I first tried just adding a passive border it failed, but if you resize icon down to 32x32 it works fine. For the guy who asked, this is what I mean, look at gold/lumber/food icons, previously the lumber/food icons had annoying borders: ![]() |

The easiest way to get rid of a border is to open the thing in GIMP, then use the paint brush set to black to just erase the border. I would have done it but my internet is not reliable enough to upload even a 4 kb file presently. |

I see no borders there, and I doubt anyone else would either, honestly. |

He fixed them in that picture. Normally though, there *would* be a border. |

It seems that people suddenly have an urge not to read words that accompany pictures. Or any words at all in some cases. Quote:

He also said "this is what I mean" and had a ":" at the end of the sentence, signifying he was referring to the picture... whose icons had no off borders. |

erm, i think your skipping out like half the sentence... it says: Quote:
not Quote:
Do you see the difference? Maybe there is a glitch on ur computer, coz the first one is the exact quote. |
