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?

Hello All, I have a quick question regarding the default / required preset channel icons size used with the Control 4 software. I am putting together a collection of driver icons (brand logos) and channel presets as we speak, but I am having trouble finding out the best size for the preset channel icons. The driver icons are HD and can be run through the C4Z Scaler to create all of the required sizes for integrating them into the drivers. Thanks for any help you can give me on this. Noel
