Very nice tutorial indeed! +rep

But, I have a problem! I'm quite sure I followed everything in the tutorial; my custom icons appear very nicely in the editor, normal buttons and disabled buttons. However in the game the disabled buttons appear as green boxes of death. What's with that?? Have you ever heard of a problem like that?

You should see the "fix green icon" section of my tutorial. I am pretty much such the icon is not a 64x64 icon as it should be, but it can also be something else.

Icons in wc3 are in BLP format. Basically there are 2 ways:
1 - Run the game, and make a print screen of the game. Then use crop tool to select the tiny icon and save it as a BMP or JPEG image. Then you can modify it and do anything you want by following the tutorial.
2 - Use an MPQ extractor and extract the BLP icon from the engine. Then convert the BLP icon to BMP or JPEG format using wc3Viewer and then modify it as you want.

Hope it helps.

How do you export an Icon from WC3?

You need is the Warcrat 3 Viewer & WinMPQ if I remember correctly.
WinMPQ will open up the MPQ files inside the W3 directory as any standard archiver (like WinZip / WinRAR). You can see there the BLP files and a lot more.

With the W3Viewer, you are able, as far as I remember, to search for specific files, or to export entire models with their resources.

It's been years since I last used 'em, so I might be wrong. All in all, those are the 2 programs you need.
