minesparky72 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I started making custom icons in Experience buttons. It's kind of addicting!!! I have made about 40 and really happy we are able to customize projects. I want to alter the multi Experience button. Can't remember the exact name. The one with twelve different colors to choose from. I would like to change the colors to names. For example, change them to Sat radio stations. or different security levels on a security system. So when your setting up the driver I can read the new name. I know i can leave the color name and just change the icon but that could get confusing. Especially for the next guy If I want tot change the color white to display something different can i just change all the "white" in the driver.xml file to the different name? Or do i have to change things in the driver.lua as well? Any help would be appreciated TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to the dealer portal you can find a lesson on how to change the Icons. Fairly simple. Little time consuming adjusting the pics to the proper size.

zaphod Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Check out this, and there are a few other ways to cusomize the icons, including a script that I wrote that is available on these forums: Ale Quiroga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAV Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Please share if you figure it out. On my todo list too. (definitely try out the generator Zaphod linked to for making 2 state buttons, works a treat. make a 1024x1024, drop in an on image, an off image, and go) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minesparky72 Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 I have tried the generator. It works well and saves time. I am really interested in learning the code and scripting. I want to be able to change the code for what i need. Not saying i will be able to build a driver but can change some to suite my needs. I have played around in AHK and Python. It is also fun to use. I will figure this out. when i do I will share my work. I am also interested in sharing Experience buttons if anyone in interested South Africa C4 user 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 There is some stuff on Github about making drivers. Search for Control4 on Github. C4 makes it hard to be a driver developer if you are not a dealer as you really need Composer Pro to try out your drivers and they don't seem keen on giving Composer Pro to driver developers. IMO that is too bad as I think they should allow driver developer enthusiasts to write drivers. Maybe they think that will piss off dealers who don't want OS developers writing drivers and killing a revenue stream for dealers. FYI - I have tried contacting C4 about writing drivers and they have ignored my emails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
