Have the images to make them but there must be something with the software i am using as they are not recognised by the dream when i load them up. definitely the correct size and filename so must be doing something wrong. Anyone point me in the right direction of software i will happily create them

thanks.

pic icons are png files. 72x54 pixels. you can create these yourself. google images for the channel logos, right click and save picture. open in windows picture viewer. resize and save as png. make sure they are named exactly the same as the channels then ftp them to your box

[Devilfish]

It's a good idea to use something like photoshop, open an existing picon and paste the new pic over the top of it. Then it will be the correct size and attributes. It also needs to be 8bits and have indexed colour, not RGB colour.

[bugaloo41]

Thanks guys will give it a whirl later.

[dedge_10]

Ok i have done some new picons here if you want to test them the only one i couldn't get to work was G.O.L.D cant seam to get it in colour so i have put it in a seperate folder and untouched if anyone want a go at it
Let me know what you think at my firstc attemp LOL
:wavey:

[Devilfish]

Nice one, thanks. I'll have a play if I get some time over the next week or so.

[bugaloo41]

Heres another set that work fine. I haven`t added the +1 channels simply because I haven`t got a clue how you add the +1 to the image :stupid: Sure one of you clever guys can sort that out though.

[dedge_10]

Just rename it from G.O.L.D to G.O.L.D +1 that should do it

[bugaloo41]

Dedge renaming the image is simple enough- even I can do that . What I cant manage at the moment is to physically alter the image to incorporate the +1. Im sure its easy enough to do but as I have never used photoshop before I have hit a wall just now. I am sure google will enlighten me but that can wait for now.

[dedge_10]

bugaloo41 sorry miss read you post, got you now the + into the image itself LOL

[Jasmeet_87]

[bugaloo41]

yeh m8 same here i have tried a few different ones too all the same blank white screen

[Jasmeet_87]

I get a white screen when trying to download or upload attachments. Maybe the server move broke them.

[dedge_10]

Here are the new picons for for sky 1, 2, 3,Arts,Arts2, News,Real Lives,Real Lives2, Sports News
not tested yet as waiting for the new channels to come on some time today
13th November

[Jasmeet_87]

Here is my pack

[thevman2k3]

How do you add these picons in

[dedge_10]

if you hace such a program like flashfxp or another FTP program goto
var/etc/picon/
then transfer your picon in there

[dedge_10]

THX have swapped some of you picons

[delv]

If you have got DK 1.1 Image then download Jasmeet_87s Picons,Dege_10 are to wide thanks to both of you

[dedge_10]

Has anybody got Disc Travel & Living and Discovery Home & Health Picon to work mine doesn.t seem to work tried the above picon upload still no luck renamed them and checked for spelling and spaces etc

[Jasmeet_87]

Channels with an ampersand (&) in the name don't show the picon, this affects Crime & Investigation Network, Discovery Home & Health, Discovery Travel & Living and Men & Motors. You could try renaming the channel and picon to "and".

[Jasmeet_87]

Added picons for HISTORY and HISTORY +1

[Jasmeet_87]

Fixed the ampersand problem, added radio picons and a few others things

[bugaloo41]

Cheers Jasmeet you do an excellent job with these picons mate.

[saj1985]

thanks for these mate,
puts a bit of flavour to my openmedia box :laugh:

[teleboss]

Good Job,

Does the cablebox pick up the picons on filename and where is this set, or does it just look up the channel name and match it to a file,

[Jasmeet_87]

On most images it find the picon that matches the channel name
