sonneboz, I'm sorry that you had to play around with quartz composer to change the logo. I should have explained what to do with the "Logos" folder in "/Users/user/Library/Application Support/ICE³/". Put all the logos/pictures that you wish to display in the HUD, into the "Logos" folder. The HUD quartz composition will import the logos and pictures automatically. If there is more than one picture, the HUD will cycle through the pictures every time it flips. Have a play and let me know what you think.

Do the pictures need to be a certain size?

SixthSphere do you think you could make a little writeup on how to make a custom theme? i.e. sizes of the icons, logos etc.

sonneboz · 02-13-2009, 01:20 PM

it's really hard to say what size icons you should be using, as it's really up to your theme. The only thing you need to make sure of is that you keep them out of the middle as the HUD is the top layer, and that they align with the original icon placement. Otherwise go willy nilly

yeah, I've actually already started a write-up... will post it soon

Thanks I was actually referring to the ones for the HUD itself.

No, the HUD will resize them while maintaining the aspect ratio.

Ok thanks. I put one in the LOGOS folder but it didn't show up. I'll try and play around with it some more tonight.

The HUD may need a refresh. Do this by changing to any other screen (coverflow etc), then change back to home. Let me know if this does not work.

Yea i tried that a couple times along with restarting it. I'm at work now. I'll play with it some more tonight. Maybe make a theme if i work it out. Anything necessary with file names?

Got it working. Seems as though it doesn't work with the default HUB but the add-on HUBs are revolving the pictures. Thanks again. I'm more and more impressed with this the more i play around with it.

Sorry, I should have explained that the default HUD is very boring. The 3 modes are ICE³ Logo, custom picture, and track info. Your picture would have been on the second mode (click once).

cool, thanks mate. I'll be sure to check them out, hopefully spruce up my front end soon. Those pixelated icons look more dated every time I look at it!
