Thanks for sharing. Looking great.

Thanks for the update and screenshot. I am glad you like them. Here is a direct link to the page if anyone would like to check them out: http://blackmancustoms.com/C4.htm

Sounds great, just let me know.

If you come across any icons that needs to be added, just let me know and I will create them.

They could simply license my set and I can put the logos on any button style they desire. I designed that glass look myself and it actually looks great on the touch panels because the background shows through.

Thanks Gary, I thought since C4 finally allowed some customization, there would be dealers interested in them, The new dark rounded squares with the black logos can be a bit hard to read and the people I showed them to before creating the whole set seemed excited about them. The free channel icons that were on the my C4 graphics page were downloaded hundreds of times, so I know people were visiting. I re-uploaded the C4 HTML / icons page, but it is not directly linked in my list of manufacturers on the left side of every page: http://blackmancustoms.com/C4.htm

Sorry about that... forgot I had to click the link button to insert it properly. It works now.

I did... I created a new page on my website back on April 13-14th. I had the whole collection of 325+ icons in HD priced at $99 and the HD channel icons for C4 were a free download. There was little or no interest and the emails I received from C4 dealers were asking for them at a cheaper price. In the end, I pulled the entire page and put Crestron back in it's place. The icon gallery is still up on my FTP if you would like to see what was available: http://www.blackmancustoms.com/C4/C4G/index.html

Thank you. It took me a while to wrap my head around the way Control 4 does things.

When I refer to channel icons, I am only talking about presets for dialing specific cable / sat and SiriusXM stations. The driver icons I created are a completely different thing. I completely understand a new image has to be run through the C4z Scaler and the output folder has be incorporated into the driver XML after certain steps are taken. I am simply supplying the large format icons so authorized dealers can convert them and incorporate them. The image just below is what I refer to as a preset channel icon. The furthest image below shows what the main screen would look like with all new driver icons. This is just a random assortment.

Sorry for the confusion. It is hard to find channel icons of decent quality, but I did manage to find some screenshots showing them and I think the size I created will do fine. Like I said, the channel icons are going to be a free download, I just want to make sure I am supplying something people can actually use. Here is a sample of the driver icons (1 of 333). They are semi-transparent and the "beveled" edge of the glass will also show some of the background image through. Thanks again for helping to answer all my questions.

I have the driver icon sizing down just fine. The ones I created work perfectly and look great after going through the C4 scaling software. It is the preset channel icons (TV & SiriusXM) I am a bit confused about. Are those also compiled directly into drivers or can you alter them a different way if you want to edit / change them out? For instance, you may have a DirecTV page with icons (HBO, networks, Disney Channel etc...) for dialing channels directly. I am just trying to figure out what size Control 4 uses for those so I can create my own set.

I appreciate the info. I would love to see a 1:1 screenshot of something like an iPad / iPad Retina with some favorite channel icons showing so I can directly sample the pixel height and width they actually display. I may just skip the preset icons all together, and I wanted to make them a free download, but I am not sure if the ones I created will work.

I don't want to get in trouble for posting business or attempting to advertise on this forum. Would it be OK with the moderators if I posted a couple sample graphics?

For preset channel icons? That seems a bit large. Does C4 scale them when you add them to projects? I know the C4Z scaler will create a whole set of driver icons, including a 1024 x 1024, and my images are 512 x 512 to begin with. The largest size actually comes out looking great, but I think that is because I chose a default size it can double up on perfectly. I don't know anywhere you can find all of the TV channel and SiriusXM presets in that kind of resolution. Would you be interested in trying the preset channel icon set I made and letting me know what happens?
