UBBC/Smiley Icons - changing color help - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 22nd Aug 08 at 7:59am
How do you change the color of the UBBC icons, and Smiley's? Every time I have tried to, it was all wrong and never worked. I can't do anything right now, as I cannot download my Paint Shop Pro 9 on this computer because the lack of memory. But just for Future reference when I get my laptop back, how will I do it? Like the UBBC icons are black with the pictures on the buttons in red and a red border?

How will I do that?

Thanks,
Darkmage

Its so that I can have custom smiley's/UBBC's when I start focusing more on Mage Designs here soon as I get my laptop back.

Download the smilies/ UBBC and create a new layer above them and fill with the colour and set the layer setting to Color or Color(Legacy)

Will this apply with Paint Shop Pro 9?

So you're not gonna create them from scratch , just edit default one? :/

Re: UBBC/Smiley Icons - changing color help - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 23rd Aug 08 at 7:28am

It's not really too difficult. I usually make a 16x16 - 24x24 circular marquee. Then fill it with the base color. Then work a bit on the depth or glossiness. Then zoom in to maximum and take out the pencil tool and a gray that will go with the base color. Then get drawing. Draw different emotions on different layers. Once I have everything I need, I usually choose the best-looking facial actions and either make them into a static GIF or an animated GIF.
