Cyknight Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Something overlooked so far is that 2.8.1 now allows for custom icons on all c4z drivers. The online database already contains a large list of these on release (and for fellow Canadians, this includes Bell Satellite, Shaw Cable, Shaw Portal and Shaw Direct Satellite - checking on Telus - sorry I'm in western Canada so can't speak for other 'regional' providers like Rogers) This means that developers can now load custom icons for ALL driver types, not just the media_proxy drivers you've seen so far. Oh and it means the 'dvd' default icon is now a blue disc icon instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bc4 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 How do you update these icons as some have mine have automatically changed but for the worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnyfarm299 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 If I want to create one of the new UI icons, where do I find documentation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Those that changed would have been changed because of the new default icons. Abilit yto change THOSE will depend on them being c4z drivers, if not - you're 'stuck' with those new defaults. As for changing them - that is a driver editing function available to driver developers, as is the documentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bc4 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I also use shaw boxes for my cable. Can I swap out the default logo to the shaw logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 No, not directly - whatever driver you have is likely going to be a c4i driver - there ARE however new drivers for Shaw in the database that have the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bc4 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 If they are c4z drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 2 hours ago, 2bc4 said: If they are c4z drivers? Then technically - yes new icons could be added (it's not a 'swap' as such). Again, to do this, driver developer tools would be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnyfarm299 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I checked out the tools today. While I don't need to dig into the actual guts of developing drivers, the 2.8.1 SDK includes photoshop templates for icon packs. Looks like it won't be too difficult to make one for my local cable company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Driver developers have the tools to upgrade c4i drivers to c4z drivers with new icons. Unfortunately it is not an automated process and requires an understanding of how to dissect a driver and how to build c4z type drivers. It is a manual procedure and takes quite some time especially for people inexperienced with editing drivers manually. We have been asked by quite a lot of dealers in the past 24 hours about this quite a bit so we will be offering this as a service for anyone who wants to add icons to their drivers.
