Hi all,

I am trying to add an icon to my macroscript but can't get it to appear.
My base code works if I use any of the max default icons but nothing appears if I add my own test_24i.bmp, test_24a.bmp test_16i.bmp, test_16a.bmp

using the following

Icon:#("test" ,1)

I've also loaded a default file (in PS) and saved it without any changes but nothing appears.
I've also just copied the files and renamed them and still nothing appears.

My bmp's are in the ui\icon directory.

Any ideas as to why I can only use the default icons?

Cheers

Hi EL-d,

Did you re-start max after copying you icons to the UI/icons folder?

Right click your tools button and choose to change the icon image. Then see if your icon file is listed.

A couple of other rules:
-the BMP file must be 24bit windows BMP file.
-you need a 16 pixel high version and a 24 pixel high version

Does this help?

Restarting does the trick .
