Hi,
I have imported some selfmade .TGA images and used them for some custom abilities. They work fine exept when I open the main menu or press alt+F4 - then they become ugly gree - you know that 0x00FF00 green ...

You need to have a DISBTN associated with your icon. For example, if you imported a button with the path "ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNMyButton.blp" then you need to import a disabled icon of the button to the path
"ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNMyButton.blp"

EDIT: Dammit, why is it making that path into two lines?!

Is there any way we could use the same button as the disabled button without importing it as a different file name?

No. It's best NOT to use the same icon for the disabled button. Disabled buttons don't have the borded and look to be about 50% transparent black

That's a bummer, because it'll increase my map size by an extra 150k.

150k? What picture are you using that takes up 150k?

I have 35 icons (4-5KB each) which I made, totalling to around 152 KB.

Ah, I see. Well, my suggestion would be to not use so many custom icons if you want your map to be played on BNet. For a signle player campaign, it should be fine because you only have to import to the campaign file once to cover all the maps.

Yes, I thought about that. My map is about 270k, and so far people are willing to download it. But if I have to add an extra 150k then I better get used to the green icons.

OMFG!!! How did you find these rare mystical green icons?!?!?! I have been searching for them for over half my life. Tell me how you have stumbled across these magnificent works of art.

Silencers, shut up. But make sure you have the DISBTN buttons also

ah well that helped - thx alot ...
I thought already that there must be such a thing but I did not knew where to put my buttons - placing them into the same dir like the original buttons did not work.
