HOW TO IMPORT ICONS WITHOUT LOSING YOUR QUALITY.
(I attached 4 photos showing the steps for more clarity, and they should be in 1-4 order.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Please make sure your icon is in decent quality before doing this or it would likely end up the same quality at the end. Meaning, if its blurry when converting it to .png files it will be blurry still at the end. So, please make sure its at decent quality when doing this.

1, Make sure your setting's on Button Manager is correct and make sure you have your finished icon in a 64x64 size format. (The first photo has the settings on it)

2, Attach the Icon to Button Manager and then create each border in a .PNG file into a new folder. You dont need to worry about renaming these files but you can if you want to..

3, Then once your done that open BLPlab and drag each (BTN/ATC/PAS/DIS) into the grey area 1 by 1 in BLPlab.

4, When you have dragged your desired icon into the grey area in BLPlab hit "Save as" and then hit the box that has "3" dots to the right, next to the "BLP1" button.

5, Once open, click on the empty folder that you want the files to go into then type in the name of your icon (BTNFrostStorm) and then hit save.

6, After you saved it, hit "OK" and then it should be saved in the empty folder you created.

7, Once that's done you can do the same thing for each of the icon borders you need and you should be good to upload.
