the problem with this icons is they have .bmp extension but they are PNG filesHi! I don't understand what the problem is or what I might be overlooking, because I changed them over a year ago and now I can't seem to get it to work.
I want to change the icons for the CFW and OFW launch menu; even though I save them as 32-bit ARGB BMPs at 192x192 pixels, they show up as black when I boot into Hekate.
Do they need to be edited in a different format, or does the background need to be transparent? To be honest, I just don't remember...
use the ones attached.

Those are my personal notes on the icons and background matter
Nyx - Background
The background for Nyx, must be a 1280 x 720 32-bit BMP. Alpha blending is taken into account. For that reason, if a solid background is required, that value must be 0xFF. There are sites that can produce the correct bmp, but gimp gives the best result.
The background must go to /bootloader/res/background.bmp
Nyx - Icons
The icons supported are 192 x 192 32-bit BMP. You can utilize transparency at will and make nice mixes with the button background.
The icons can be utilized either via [boot entries names] -> boot entries names.bmp or by using icon={sd path} (preferred method), which should point at a bmp.
Additionally, using the icon={sd path}, the icon will get colorized if the name ends in _hue.bmp. That only works nicely if the icon is a white layout with transparency.
If _nobox.bmp is used then the button background is removed. Useful for icon themes that aim for a specific style.
A combo of both can be enabled via _hue_nobox.bmp suffix.
The default system icons (icon_switch.bmp and icon_payload.bmp) can be replaced with white layouts that have transparency. They can also be replaced with normal icons if the following exist: icon_switch_custom.bmp or/and icon_payload_custom.bmp
