Custom Draw phase Icon

Post by Scotty Gu3 »

So i'm planning on custimizing a Phasebar I wasn't in love with any of the draw steps icons so I created my own. I also put the template I created on here for others to modify if they perhaps wanted to create their own with the back of a theme.

Hmm seems after looking at other icons I have some resizing issues to think about that might completly change the way this appears...

Well heres what I came up with seems I was underestimating the shrink factor :oops: ...

Curious how many pixels x pixels does an icon have to work with?

I personally use paint dot net. Zethfox suggested gimp which is ok but less user friendly than paint dot net IMO.
forget about Microsoft paint, it's not good enough for even simple tasks.

Hey I ended up editing out the hand in the draw phase.

I thought maybe others might want to use it. Not taking credit for others work by any means.

Paint.net is great thanks for the suggestion btw!

Edited the upkeep too

I have yet to try them out so the positioning might be off :!:
