Hey Soda, thanks for the tinfoil icon. When I use it I get the ? Can you advise please? I am setup correctly and have rebooted after base sys-tweak install. Thanks.

I'm assuming you have tinfoil loaded. My advise would be load tinfoil from hbmenu first and check that the forwarder uses the same ID I've supplied. (Which you can get from within tinfoil under installed)
That's the only think I can personally think.
I have tested the icon myself so other than that I'm unsure. It's definitely under the file size recommendation (130kb)
Usually if the icon doesn't show the file size is too big I believe from what @cucholix originally posted

Thanks for replying soda. I created my own icon in Photoshop and that works, really no idea what the problem was. Thanks for your help.

odd, but I like your icon simple, I'm probably going to use yours over my own to be honest

Hope it works, enjoy it!

I'm having the same issue you did, very unusual... I'm wondering if uploading them here alters the image? it shouldn't make a difference... I might start making zips for them if that makes them work, very odd

 

[pcwizard7]

I like this thankyou good to see more things u can do with the switch

Hmm, try this

[SodaSoba]

ok saving the image changes it so I'm not sure what's actually going on

Hope it works, enjoy it!

ok it must have something to do with the base images uploaded I'm no expert here but saving the image changes it, I was able to open copy and paste the image into my own image editor and save it as a working image, I would image this is something to do with chrome & webp image format?

You may be right but it's out of my expertise area and I'd just be guessing.

As a last test, try this zip https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KZAtsMAsse2YTG4vgHs0Q_acPdquWveo/view?usp=sharing

@SodaSoba can you upload your icons to some image hosting and post the links?
I'm going to organize the icons by alphabet so it could be helpfull

Attachments have a limit so OP wouldn't host all the icons.

I've started dumping mine on https://github.com/sodasoba/switch-custom-game-icons I'll try get them all uploaded when I get home, I'm also zipping each one so they can just be extracted to the root of the SD card.
