icon help

Postby eedo » Tue May 26, 2009 5:10 pm

hi there,


thanks for your guide on the icons!

Just a quick question, can i only have one new icon*that i have added) showing in the icons page, as wheni have created a few in the folder i can only appear to see one of mine, even thought i have saved them to the folder you mention!
Also my icons do not look great and they are blurred if i go bigger in the track any thoughts?

Thanks

Eed

The number of the .png should be between 000 and 324. Some numbers are available, others will replace an existing Logic icon.

You have to experiment at bit or open the Logic app resource folder and have a look yourself in order to find out which numbers are available. I can't remember right now.

Try something like 210 and up.

If your icons look blurred when they are zoomed in, you either used a very low res picture to begin with or you did not follow my guide precisely.

Just wanted to say thanks for this... was exactly what I was after.

For those interested I created an icon for Maschine, and the Moog Little Phatty. See attached.

Chenging FOLDER track icons

Postby brashmusic » Wed May 26, 2010 10:15 am

All right, so I understand how to create and load my own icons so that logic will recognize them, but I simply can't find a way to change the icon of a folder track. It seems like it arbitrarily picks an icon when you "pack folder;" the then when you click on the track header, you'd expect to see the icon selector to pop up in the inspector, but there's nothing there!

Agh. it may seem petty, but I use folders a lot, and when you have tons of folder tracks all with random icons, it gets really frustrating.

Any help would be fantastically appreciated.

Going back a bit here, but I believe at least with the current version of Logic Pro there is no way to change the folder icon - it's just a blue folder.

I gather that the go to place for additional track icons (and other Logic files) was http://www.logicprofiles.com/ - however that seems to be down these days! If anyone know another resource I'd be grateful if you would post it.

Answering my own post here, there is this thread on this very forum:

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2347

However quite a lot of the icons are not now visible and the archive page David links to - http://logicprohelp.com/icons.php - appears not to be available any more.

Correct. Thanks for reminding me! That's back on my to-do-list.
