Forum: VirtualDJ Skins - Topic: Help needed changing colour of an icon Hi-Res V6 skin

I have tried to edit the hi-res skin for VDJ to change the colour of the karaoke icon as its so close in colour to the video one.

I have done everything as I have done in the past e.g. extracted the zip file, edited the bmp file ro chance the karaoke icon to bright pink, saved and then re-zipped the bmp and xml files together again. But the karaoke icon just will not change colour.

Any ideas?

The Hi-Res skin, aswell as the other two VDJ 6 default skins, have the icons in the picture but no XML code to use those icons.

Open the XML file and look for the line where it is written </browser>
Just above that line, add this:
<customicons x="..." y="...">

By replacing ... with the correct coordinates.

Is there a sequence in which a custom icon set should appear when you define your own ? WOuld love to know how the grid is defined so I can build my own custom one.

If you make a custom icon set, you should keep the same order on the grid.
All icons are 16x16 pixels.

Just found it out last night by trail and error ;-).

Still, is there any documentation on what icons take which position in the grid ? Some of them I've actually never seen in any of the skins.
