I'm trying to create my own custom UI with MEL and I cant seem to make my own XPM files. Old forums say there was once this makeXPM.exe, but it no longer exists on highend3d!

if anyone has this, or can point me where to find the file, please let me know, or even if anyone knows if there is an alternate way to create XPM files in an orderly fashion.

Do the images have to be XPMs? I'm looking at a couple of scripts I just downloaded from highend, Charlie Chain and Seth's tippit Rig, and they use BMP files for their icons. You might be okay using BMP format, which Photoshop can output with no trouble.

When I create .bmps and move the files to another computer, I get a error invalid icon file. Even though it worked the first time I loaded it up, It had to be deleted from the shelf and re connected everytime I brought the files to a new computer.

Alternately is there anyway to create bmps that wont give that error, like boca said they have been in use, maybe I'm not using the proper compression settings
