Godfrey Ultimatesoft | Hi All
I want a custom icon on my header panel. So I opened the Ticonlibrary interface and add a extra state, then link the new state to my custom icon (png). When I try and save interface, I get an error "System Error: Code 5. access denied". After clicking OK it does seem to save, but the icon does not appear on the icon list. Am I doing something wrong, is this the right way to add a custom icon? Thanks |

If not, I presume that you are trying to overwrite the one in Program Files, and that won't work. You need to take a copy (of just it, or all) and then add that folder to the path. -- Matthew Jones |

I suppose that is why I get the access denied. Apart from that, am I doing the correct procedure for adding custom icons or is there a better way? What is the best practise for editing interfaces? Thanks |

I'm pondering how to use version control for this, so things get merged somehow, but not sure how practical that is. -- Matthew Jones |

Indeed, I'm just wondering how to do a three-way merge. There's the original, the changes I made, and the update changes. Or perhaps "how do I re-do my changes over the updated version". Or something. That's the complex part. -- Matthew Jones |

We're not talking about a large number of changes, so it should be manageable. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
