Danny Wyatt Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Is it possible to add custom icons that change color based on the track's color, just like the gray ones here at the bottom? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I wasn't able to make one. I Control-clicked the Logic Pro app and choose Show Package Content, found the icons under: /Contents/Frameworks/MAResources.framework/Versions/A/Resources It seems like the color-matching flat icons have a name that starts with e_ like e_kick1.tiff Each tiff file contains 7 different size icons, however all of them look gray. I've tried simply copying one and editing the 7 icons inside, and I can use the icon in Logic Pro however it stays stubbornly gray. If you find out anything regarding this subject, I would love to know! 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Wyatt Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 I believe there is more to this than just the files. I did the same thing as you, but no luck here either. I never use icons anymore, because it just takes a lot of space, but I'm working on something for 2023 and I have a loooong template and having those icons will help a little bit. I guess I will just create the icons with the color I want, since I have specific colors for specific types of instruments, for example all drums and percussion are orange, FX are light blue, etc. Thanks for sharing this anyway. Let's hope that they implement it one day. Will send my feedback on this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Yes, it would be nice if we could make our own custom flat icons (and download or purchase 3rd party custom flat icons). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skijumptoes Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) I'd imagine there's some custom tags within the .tiff file that Logic reads which is being lost when you save perhaps? i.e. defining the colour index for the colour mask. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/imageio/tiff_image_properties Had a quick play and if you swap names of two files they stay the same order in the icon selection dialog, so that would suggest it's reading the header information, but only tried it with effect_1 and effect_3. Should've done it with icons from different categories to see if they swapped really. There's always tonight! 🙂 Edited December 2, 2022 by skijumptoes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attracks pilot Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Well... I created a copy of all colored drumset icons (see attachments), which do change color according to the track color. You don't need to create extra icons. What I've done, is creating new entries in InstrumentIconGroup(s) under "item 1" (at IconPickerConfiguration.plist). And within the InstrumentIcons.plist, I copied one existing tintable entry a couple of times and just copied the names from the colored icons (within "item 0") Hope that's clear enough; otherwise please feel free to ask for more details. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
