My self-created Nyx Custom Icon doesnt work

[MSco]

I have created an nyx custom icon by combining two other icons I found in this forum. I have created this one: attached as icon_sysmmc_cfw.bmp

However, it shows just an empty icon: attached as switch_screen.jpg
The icon on the right should be a combination of the two icons on the left.

I created this icon with gimp as RGBA, it has 192x192 px and has the same file size as the working icons (144,1 KiB).
Any ideas, what I did wrong? Or how can I create this Icon correctly?

And the content of your hekate_ip.ini?

This is my hekate_ipl.ini

[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=0
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1
updater2p=1
backlight=100

[Stock - sysMMC]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
emummc_force_disable=1
stock=1
icon=bootloader/res/eckig/icon_stock.bmp

[CFW - emuMMC]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
kip1patch=nosigchk
emummcforce=1
atmosphere=1
icon=bootloader/res/eckig/icon_atmosphere_hekate.bmp

[CFW - sysMMC]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
kip1=atmosphere/kips/*
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/eckig/icon_sysmmc_cfw.bmp

However, I am not sure, if really saved is as rgba. How can I do this with gimp? I exported it like in the screenshot attached here. Was it correct or should I use another option?

Where on the SD card is stored the file?

 

[MSco]

Ok, I have found the issue. It is working now.

I had to add an alpha channel in gimp before exporting, after that I could correctly export it as ARGB. Now, it shows correctly.

Thanks for your help!

P.S: The image is stored in sd:/bootloader/res/eckig/icon_sysmmc_cfw.bmp

hey sorry to hijack the post but im trying to customize icons that changes to the theme color according to nyx setting as well but im facing issue as only partial object react to the color change and the remaining object is not appearing. I hope someone who had done it before can kindly guide me.

I created a new image using the Krita photo editor with 190 x 190 pixel, mode RGB(Alpha), 300 resolution and depth 32 bit float channel. I make the background opaque(white or black background) and then using 3D Paint, i ripped the 3 desired objects (the nintendo console, the CFW wording and the SYS CFW wording) from another image.bmp and pasted them onto the new image as a new layer then save it as a .bmp. I apply a nyx theme color but out of the 3 objects, only one of them appear and react to the nyx color theme but the other 2 objects was missing.

I hope someone can tell me was i missing something? I also tried ripping the 3 object as 1 image using 3D Paint and also seperate ripped the 3 objects then paste them under 1 active layer but that wouldnt work as well

The problem I did face was than the NYX's hue color is drawn on the white color of a white "alpha" channel background od a bmp 32bpp file. So almost no image editor handle the format correctly.

I am attaching a set of icons created for Hekate by Nochole, they was on the repo: https://git.nicholemattera.com/NicholeMattera/Hekate-Icons/releases you can use them as template

Please do not forget the filename should end on "_hue.bmp" in order to NYX recolor the image

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, this is a working BMP in "image" a picture editor showing the transparency:

And when your remove the display of transparency:

So your image editor should be able to handle white alpha channel and be able to save a BMP with that format normally they trend to save the alpha as black background.

on the attached file there are some *.ai (Adobe Illustrator) templates. but I never was able to use Adobe Illustrator to get the correct format, so I did use python PILLOW to convert a PNG to BMP, I lost the code but should be fairly easy.

I found the code:

# convert a .png image file to a .bmp image file using PIL

import argparse
from PIL import Image

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('-i' , '--input' , dest='img_in'    , metavar='IMAGE' , help="image name to read" , default='HekateIcon.png')
parser.add_argument('-o' , '--output', dest='img_out'   , metavar='IMAGE' , help="image name to save" , default='HekateIcon.bmp')

args = parser.parse_args()

im = Image.open(args.img_in).convert("RGBA")


img = Image.open(args.img_in)
img.save(args.img_out)

So I edited the image on Adobe Illustrator exported as PNG, then using the code converted the PNG to bmp, yes a long path but I can not find a image editor program handling «White Alpha Channel»

I just made the test, and even if the «Alpha background» is black the most recent version of NYX put the correct hue color:

by example, the attached file «sys_cfw_boot_hue.bmp» is shown on Hekate 6.2.1:

bud thanks a big bunch for the writeup !! and also the .bmp file you sent me was what i literally beem trying to make without any success for the past few frustrating days.
