Recoloring Icon Packages

Need Help Saving

Monday, December 3, 2007 by The-Reaper-Man | Discussion: Icons

I was hoping someone out there could help me with an Icon Developer problem I'm having. I recently took it upon myself to mess around with recoloring some .ICL files. I fiddled with the color settings until I got the desired tone just to my liking and wanted to save it. Here's my problem: I still wanted to keep the original Icon Package and have the new recolored one as well. However, when I went to go save the new one, the only option I was given was "Save", not "Save As..." which would have allowed me to acomplish my goal. So, I tried a couple of different things, such as after exiting out of Icon Developer going into Windows Explorer and "renaming" the new .ICL file and .ICONPACKAGE file to something different after making a copy of the original package.
    Didn't work.
    Not only that but when I loaded up Icon Packager and selected the new recolored package, it showed NO ICONS for it! So I'm wondering how in the world do you actually SAVE a recolored Icon Packager theme without REPLACING the original? I find the documentation for Object Desktop regarding this procedure to be somewhat useless so hopefully somebody here knows the answer. Thanks guys.

I cant get Iconpackager to work either for recoloring Icons.. I use batch processing in Skinstudio to do it..

still having the same issue... it actually appears that Developer and Packager aren't quite talking to eachother yet. Icon developer is showing the files as working and the colors changed but any file that Developer has touched is no longer recognized by Packager... it looks like they have a long way to go on Developer beta
